Obviously Cali!! I love travelling, but there's nothing like going back to my home state. I've never once considered living anywhere else

.
My favorites in Cali?
Cities: Los Angeles and San Fran (tho San Fran is on the cold side compared to SoCal beach weather)
Towns: Sausalito, Carmel, Tiburon, Marin (these are in NorCal and are absolutely beautiful...complete with white sand beaches and charming dollhouse-like residences and old-fashioned shopping malls. So cute!). Atherton, Palo Alto (these two are near Stanford University). Hillsborough (20 or 30 minutes from San Fran). These are some of the most expensive places to live in ALL of America though.
My fave SoCal towns: Laguna Beach, Newport Beach
You can't go wrong with any of these areas I listed!

We Californians just love it here! It is well worth the cost (CA is the most expensive state to live in).
Hey, actually, if we were ever to drift off and form our own country...we'd be perfectly fine. (We're the 5th largest economy in the WORLD.) Which other state in the US can you say THAT about?
