As someone who was born in Maine and has lived in Maine for his life I agree put aside vacation and road trips I know Maine I've probably seen the hole state
Thank you for featuring Portland's farmer's market! I've been curious about Portland and checking out the local farmer's market scene is one of the first things I'm interested in. It looks lile they have a great market! Looking forward to more of your travel vlogs. : )
I’m so glad you enjoyed this video! The farmer’s market was great! I can’t wait to visit in other seasons as well to check out the other seasonal items!
Great video! I’ll be moving to Maine, an hour out of Portland, and I’m looking forward to many visits to Portland. This video really helped me to plan both winter trips and summer. May I ask where you stayed?
Seriously, how does this not have more views?!?!?! I've seen so many travel videos that are filled with...well...crap. This was SOOOO not crappy lol. What a well done video all the way around (audio, visual, and narration)....without being annoying! We will be visiting in early spring, so will miss out on some things like the farmers markets. But you DEF gave me some ideas for places to eat and drink. Thank you so much for such a splendid video!!!
Thank you for this wonderful video. I'm going to Portland Maine for the first time in late September. My question: If everything closes early, what do you do with the evening time?
I hope you see my comment because I have a question. I'm cruising to Portland, ME next August and I'm wondering if walking off the ship up to an excursion desk and booking an excursion for that day is something that can be done. Looking forward to your feedback.
Just stay on the boat. Unless you enjoy seeing trash, graffiti, asylum seekers, and the homeless pitching up tents anywhere they can find a patch of dirt.
I believe you have to catch the lobster from that specific company in order for them to cook it for you. And yes, there’s a significant discount for bringing your own.
We went in June, but April should still be pretty mild weather wise. If you’re looking to go lobstering specifically, peak season is June through September.
According to the Victoria Mansion website themselves; “[Ruggles] During the Temperance era, his household deity was Bacchus, the god of wine. Arriving from New Orleans in the summer…his isolation could only have deepened when he retired to his summer home on the wealth he had accreted in the Confederate South.” I only quickly looked up the history because you seemed to shine an oddly specific identity to the man who was “self made” and did it “by his hard work”. Very dishonest and strange for a travel vlogger to be celebrating a slaver, NOT just the beautiful house he built.
This was so wonderfully informative. For each activity you really give the viewers a feeling of atmosphere, and what they can expect and enjoy about the experience. Thank you, and continued happy travels!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I love traveling and I hope I can provide useful tips in every video I make. Be sure to subscribe so you can check out all the future videos and get some travel ideas!
