Conservative in regards to the Federal Government. Believe in empowering states and especially local communities to paint their own personal paths rather than a one size fits all approach. With that said, I do not believe it is the role of the government to regulate morality.
Do not adhere to any religion but do believe in a higher power.
Love outdoor activities whether it be fishing, hiking, or swimming in oceans and lakes.
I enjoy conversing with people and find it important to be in a well populated area yet do not care much for living downtown. Also, while I believe every place in the world has its share of good people, I've learned people vary by location. Of course my idea of good is only subjective. I value honesty, integrity, friendliness, and people who believe in 'live and let live.' Basically, I'm searching for a place that is scenic and well populated yet humble and laid back. Any advice is appreciated.

I'd imagine it'd be difficult to make friends and find work in those places. I've always wanted to visit Yellowstone but I believe that region may be a little too isolated for me to call home.
Some areas of Virginia, Tennessee or possibly North Carolina may be a fit.
Montana, Wyoming etc, would not be a good fit. Those are too isolated, sparsly populated. I've lived there and although they are great for an outdoorsman, a 21 yr old would be bored stiff. There is a reason that young people flee those states after High School.

That's what I'm looking for. I was thinking Austin or Denver but was hoping to maybe find a city still up and coming. I went to Austin earlier this month and while I loved exploring beautiful hill country, the vibe downtown seemed very pretentious as if too many people were attempting to be different rather than allowing it to come naturally, and this is coming from someone with an appreciation for free thinkers. I'm wondering if the mass exodus from California has anything to do with it or maybe I got a skewed view since I assume many students were still home for the holidays. Do you have any insight on Raleigh or Nashville or could you recommend any specific cities in that region?

In that case, you may like Upstate NY or PA. Both have scenery and can offer the outdoor activities that you are looking for. Perhaps the Pittsburgh area could work, for example.
Mpls has lakes galore, is tops for biking, and has plenty of great neighborhoods with restaurants, bars, and good amount of live music venues around. Basically, tons of big city amenities minus big city problems. That and lots of locals head out to one of the state parks or lakes not too far from here for some isolated nature.
