    Your videos are wonderful and truly capture the essence of this amazing state. My first visit will be next month as I’m looking to relocate to Maine and enjoy all Maine has to offer as well as contribute myself in anyway I can. Thanks again as I’m going to watch all your videos for a second time. 👍👍👍👍👍

    I am a Italian and I lived in Canada for two years many years back. I have never been in Maine, but I know the very east cost of Canada and Northern USA is breath taking, simply magical. Wish I could make it my home one day. I guess one can always dream.

      Good comments, Pietro. I am Bostonian, have lived in and around the city for many yrs now, but during my formative years (3rd to 9th grade) I spent them on an idyllic 90-acre farm in southern Maine. We weren't rich (just blue collar), but it didn't matter. Had our own hay field (about 10 acres) that doubled as a baseball field, that my neighbor and I played on for countless hours. One of those HUGE "Yank" barns (with our own hay loft to jump in with my friends...a LOT), owned a frog pond down our street, which conveniently doubled as a skating pond during winter! Mom tended to 3 BIG gardens, so we literally had all the veggies and wild blueberries/strawberries/blackberries we could eat and more than hold us over during a tough Maine winter.
      Larger point I'm making: dad sure knew what he was doing when he bought the old homestead/farm, as I tell ppl all the time, "I wouldn't have traded growing up there for anything" because I was bitten by the Maine bug, and once Maine bites you, you'll always want to come back. That's where I am nearing myself. Maine just has a special feel about it. You lived in Canada, so depending on what town/city you want to live, Maine RE prices are usually very reasonable (not unbelievably expensive like Boston), and with whatever trade you bring, you would likely adjust VERY easily to living in Portland/Maine. One of the few cities I know of that offers all the big-city amenities/restaurants/shopping/sports you could want, but still feels like a town of around 70,000 people.
      Hope you and your family are doing ok with this Coronavirus. I know Italy and the US have both been hit hard, but we're going to get past this too. Never give up on that dream about Maine, man! :)

    My wife and I are from Florida and currently looking into moving to New England. That first part where the lady was talking about how accessible nature is from Portland without giving up its convenience reminds me of living out in Wyoming when I was younger. You guys are selling us on Maine!!

      From a 71 year old Maine man from Rockland to Buxton a few in between you cant beat this beautiful state an unequaled coast awesome lakes Hunting Fishing and so many things to do its very hard to get bored jobs ? Bath Iron Works very good pay they hire welders burners cleaners and many other trades and if you work there for 40 years you get an ok pension just being in Maine is worth a lot i would rather make 18 dollars an hour in Maine than 30 dollars in most other states Beauty is everywhere you look show them the oaks and the things they have to do there

    I visited Portland last week for the first time in 20+ years, what a disappointment. I had lived in Portland and had a shop on Exchange St. What had been a charming town, with a neighborhood feel in the Old Port area and a nice working waterfront is now a classical example of unchecked development and gentrification. A town that I had once loved is now a town that I don't know/recognize.

    Great cinematography, music is blah, story should flow better. Watch a few casey neistat videos. He tells a good story. Consistency is the key. This seems like one big commercial...commercials are boring...

      Thanks for the feedback. I just watched some of his videos. Good stuff. I must say the music is one of my favorite Maine bands who have (in my opinion) super talent and a great story. And I agree, commercials can be boring if not done right. Appreciate your honesty - Erin

      but who cares what race lives there.. if it’s beautiful and full of nature some people like the solitude and don’t care for city life. Has nothing to do with race you brainwashed fool.
