Pennsylvania commonly called as Penn state lies on the East Coast. Famous for its Amish community, its a state nestled in nature’s lap.
Best time to visit: During summers, since winters can be harsh with snow
Places of interest:
-Lancaster: The Amish community is of German descent and has been living a simple life without any modern amenities. Worth a see are the farms and the Amish people with their traditional dresses. A beautiful countryside with buggys on the road.
-Hersheys chocolate world: A paradise for chocolate lovers. You can buy large sized chocolates. Also ride a train to see how Herseys chocolates are made.

General pointers:
-Mostly farms and less of skycrapers. Close to nature is how I will describe this place. Acres and acres of farmland.
-Amish community doesn’t allow strangers to interact with their people, unless required.
-Food is generally european in most parts. A good restaurant is Millers in Lancaster, where a$10 meal includes a yummy buffet.
-English and German is the language mostly spoken
-Not well connected cities so hiring a cab or getting a vehicle to travel is the best choice.
-Hotels are affordable and easy to get.
Last Word: If you want a feel of nature, then Pennsylvania is the place! Totally Recommending!
