Where Should I go: Texas or New Brunswick?

Texas

Texas is the second largest and second most populated state in the United States. It measures 267,000 square miles in size and exploring even a large section of the state takes longer than you might expect. The size and distinctive culture of the area brings much pride to the state's natives. The state was briefly its own country for ten years, starting in 1836 after the residents rebelled as a territory of first Spain and then Mexico. It then joined the United States in 1845. The state maintains its independent personality and many Texans proudly display the state flag near their home or car.

New Brunswick

New Brunswick, Canada is a land with more forests than people. Most of the people in New Brunswick live on the western side of the province, or the eastern and southern coastlines. Most of the province is made up of softwood and maple forests. The more rural areas of New Brunswick are full of small rivers, lakes and swampland, making this area a dream for explorers.
