Maine: A photo diary

I went to Maine in May with some of my sisters (it was the first time for all of us!), and I was completely charmed by it.

Every person I met—shop owners, Uber drivers, and everyone in between—had this incredible do-it-yourself spirit. Our Uber driver had literally built his own house with his own hands, and honestly, it seemed like many of the homes were built the same way. Nothing felt rushed or cheaply done. The houses were thoughtfully crafted from natural materials, with an attention to detail that really stood out.

Another thing that struck me was the focus on art and creativity. It felt like everyone was an artist in one way or another—always learning a new craft, not necessarily specializing in just one thing, but becoming good at many.

Granted, I wasn’t here for long, but that’s the vibe I picked up during our short stay. I felt the magic of Maine!

I mentioned this on my Instagram, but we stayed at Sunny Brook Cottage — a charming guesthouse complete with sheep and chickens! Pi is such a lovely host and I would recommend her cottage to anyone going to Maine. The property was charming and the location was great.

Here are some of our favorite places around the cottage (that I would recommend):
