In a survey conducted by travel website Big 7 Travel, 1.5 million people weighed in on the “friendliest states in America”.  The “Nice” state of Minnesota came in first followed by the state known for its southern hospitality, Tennessee. The Northeast didn’t fare so well on the friendly scale with Delaware, Massachusetts and New Jersey all ranking near the bottom and New York coming in dead last.

Apparently, New Yorkers can’t seem to shake their reputation of being rude.  What’s another word for a rude person?  A stickybeak. Wyoming is another state that ranked high for being friendly.  People in Wyoming tend to exude a sense of community which is welcoming to visitors.  The Germans have a word for feeling safe and at home.  The word is geborgenheit!
