Alabama:
Alabama, known as the Heart of Dixie, offers a blend of Southern charm, rich history, and diverse natural beauty. From the white-sand beaches of the Gulf Coast to the rolling Appalachian foothills in the north, the state boasts a mild climate, affordable cost of living, and a strong sense of community. Its cities and small towns alike are steeped in rich cultural heritage, with influences from Native American, African American, and European traditions, making Alabama a warm and welcoming place to call home. Nicholas Langlois introduced Carnival to the city of Mobile in 1703, 15 years before New Orleans was founded, and making it the oldest Mardi Gras in the nation.
