Another +1 to going far far north, to places like Iceland, Alaska, Canada, Norway, etc. Or go far south to New Zealand - which is absolutely amazing in its own right.
You're even further south than Virginia's latitude, and we need a Kp level of 8+ to have even a remote chance of seeing the lights here in Virginia. That's rarer than a once in a lifetime event, plus you have to hope for weather, clouds, daylight timing to all work out properly also.
I took a trip to Iceland a few years back to see it, and it definitely is incredible to see in person. We had several great locations scouted out and they never showed up after more than a week, then on our final night where we had pretty bland scenery near the airport they finally made an appearance.

You need to be near the poles of the earth, typically during winter because of the longer dark nights and lower humidity levels, and you have to hope for weather to cooperate because clouds will easily block any chance of seeing it too.
