Well Alaska is the first thing that comes to mind. Also the Rockies, Hawaii in the tropical type of way. The US has many areas like that. Have you ever looked at a map and see how HUGE Alaska is. What do you think it looks like?
When living in the Canadian 'Gulf Islands' I met lots of folks from UK / Scandinavia who were 'fulltime motorsailers' for yrs in the inland passage area. They came a bit south for winter, but still north of USA.
Or you can also get a job on a fishing boat and see much of this. One of my kids did that for a few yrs. Several friends do it annually. They make ~ $30k to $50k in 6 wks and take the rest of the yr off. Not a bad gig. Tough and LONG days, but can you imagine how nice it is to have 10 months off / yr!
