Everyone's best friend, Mark Zuckerberg, has a new Facebook story and he's having a great time in Iowa.

Zuckerberg used Facebook stories—that product Facebook introduced to add onto Instagram Stories but that hasn't quite caught on yet—to document his trip midwest. The Facebook CEO traveled to Iowa as part of his 2017 promise to visit U.S. states he's never been to.

That trip led Zuckerberg to declare, "Iowa is my kind of place." Everyone on Facebook who follows Zuckerberg was basically guaranteed to see his trip, since no one else is really using Facebook stories. Zuckerberg's story waited to be watched in a little bubble all alone, without any other friends' stories to distract from exciting photos of Iowa.
