We love central Kentucky. 4 seasons (we are former Floridians, could no longer take the endless, sweltering summers). Stay at or below the Bluegrass Parkway and we don’t get very much snow. Nothing like further east.
Extremely gun friendly state. Louisville is a nice city, but rather liberal politically. Lexington is nasty urban sprawl, PITA to get around. But the area in between is quite nice & rural.
Forgot to mention Uruguay. My daughter loved it there. Did a lot of research on the country, said she would certainly live there.
