There’s nothing better for friendship than someone who genuinely cares about you, and who is wiling to go the extra mile. Kansans are not only used to extra miles, but we’ll drop what we’re doing to help a friend in need. Here’s a few reasons why Kansans make the best friends, we think. Do your Kansas friends have these traits?
- We’re loyal to the end.

- We’re down for any adventure…
Loren Kerns/Flickr Camping, fishing, or four-wheeling, we’re out there enjoying life to the fullest when we can.
- …and we’re always prepared.
State Farm/Flickr Being prepared is something we prefer, because you won’t want to be without food and water if you’re stranded somewhere in inclement weather.
- We’ll cook you the tastiest homemade meals.
James/Flickr If you meet a Kansan who can cook homemade meals like your parents did, never let them go.
5.If not, you’ll never run out of restaurant recommendations.
PattiWall/TripAdvisor Some of us can’t cook, however. That just means we always want to take you to our favorite restaurants.
- We know all the best places to visit in state.
turcottes78/Flickr Not only do we know the best attractions, but when to visit them to avoid giant crowds.
- We know how to stay entertained on long drives.
Doug Kerr/Flickr We’re used to driving a few hours to get places, so we’ll definitely keep you entertained on long trips.
- And if you get stuck in the mud, we’re the first to get dirty.
Tjflex2/Flickr We’re the first ones out there pushing when you’re stuck in the mud, as long as you’re helping too.
- No matter what, we always “know a guy” for everything.
Jeremy Crantek/Flickr I might not be able to fix your brakes, but I know a guy who does it if you bring him lunch.
- We’re the first ones up to watch the sunrise.
Stephen Muehleisen/Flickr Kansas skies are no joke, so we learn to appreciate even the simplest of gifts.
- and the first ones ready to go stargazing.
David DeHetre/Flickr Blankets and pillows in a truck bed? That’s all we need.
- We appreciate any gesture, big or small.
Orin Zebest/Flickr We’re givers by nature, but when you give back, we’re nothing but thankful.
- We’re genuine, through and through.
Vladimir Pustovit/Flickr We say hello and smile at strangers, and strike up conversation just to be friendly. What more could you want?
Some of the best things to do with Kansans includes going on trips in Kansas! We might live here, but we haven’t seen everything. How about these day trips to out-of-the-ordinary farms that are just too good to pass up?
