Understand

Welcome to Minnesota, the land of "Minnesota nice"! Minnesotans are known for their friendly and genial attitude, which contrasts them with their fellow Midwesterners. They may be caught off-guard when people don't reciprocate their cheerful vibes. This unique cultural aspect, combined with the state's sing-song accent, sets Minnesota apart from the rest. In fact, Minnesota is a rare left-leaning presence in the United States, maintaining liberal leanings and proudly home to the second largest openly homosexual population in the country. However, don't be fooled by the stereotype, as parts of the state, especially the outer suburbs of the Twin Cities, lean towards more conservative values. But that's not all! Minnesota is not just about its people, it also boasts stunning forests and lakes, making it a hidden gem for any tourist looking to explore the vibrant culture of the Midwestern US.
