When moving out-of-state you would have to arrange for the transfer of your parole. This is something that is not granted automatically; it is discretionary. So you may or may not get approval. You need to speak to your PO about this first. They can more fully brief you as to whether or not such a transfer is feasible based upon your specific circumstances.
But what would help is if your are moving to be with family, to obtain medical treatment, or pursuing employment. Merely wanting a change of scenery probably won't be enough. Also, if you have a good relationship with your PO that will be important since he/she will have to recommend acceptance of the transfer to the new jurisdiction.
One thing is for sure, get approval before making any move. As the saying goes, "Don't leave home without it".
