Thank you! I knew when I started solo traveling that I already enjoyed doing things alone - going to museums, sightseeing, shopping, eating - essentially, all of the things I would be doing alone as a solo traveler. If you're not used to doing things alone, you can always practice by doing a day trip nearby. Pick some new area to explore, and treat it like a mini solo trip! Also, I make sure I'm never 100% alone for the whole week. Every solo trip I've done, I've gone on guided tours where I get a chance to meet other travelers, or I've reached out to internet friends that live in the area to meet up. Lastly, I would say that documenting my trips by making these videos helps me feel less alone, because it's like I'm bringing people with me (even if it's just family and friends that I'm updating). Have a creative outlet to keep you company throughout your trip - journaling, art, photography, videography - they'll all make you feel less alone. Best of luck!

Thank you! I believe this was at Schooner Head Overlook - it's not a hiking trail, but a path to the cliffs shown in the video. There's a parking lot at the overlook so you can stop on your way around the park. For actual hiking trails, there are a number with ocean views, I just don't know the names off the top of my head.

I loved your video. All the shots were beautiful. I have two questions if you don't mind. What program did you use to edit your footage and how did you get it all to look the same. Was it a filter? I love how it doesn't have all that contrast.
@mackenziekinzel2 жыл бұрын
Thank you! All of my videos so far have been edited in iMovie since I'm holding off on investing in FinalCutPro (or something along those lines) until I have a computer that can handle it. iMovie has simple saturation/contrast/filter sliders I use to edit the footage - one setting can be applied to many clips at once. iMovie does severely lack in animation/transition/title capabilities, so I hope to learn a more professional editor within the next year.

I went up to Maine last weekend to work a FIRST Robotics off season event outside of Portland. I did n to see many people of color there. I went to Old Orchid Bay in search of a Lobster Roll for dinner after the event and saw swarms of tourist there. There were some people of color there. Maine is something like 95 percent Caucasian. You should still go. They were very nice people all the same.

I saw your post and wondered What all you did and Boothbay and along the way up to Bar Harbor. We are spending three days in each location. We have thought about doing a well boat excursion in either place, but I am concerned about the weather and possible seasickness on the boat. Did you do any boat tours, and if so which area did you do them? Any ideas would be appreciated if you have the time. Thank you
@mikewest90172 жыл бұрын
Hey Melissa, at the advice of a friend who went to Boothbay Harbor every year for 19 years until her husband passed away, we stayed at BB Harbor every night and took day trips every day from there. In retrospect, I would rather have done what you’re doing. The places we went were as follows: Bath, ME, Maritime Museum, LL Bean headquarters at Freeport, ME, Wiscasset, ME, Reds Eats, a famous small place with DELICIOUS lobster rolls(has been featured on the Food Network, KZbin it), Acadia National Park was gorgeous, has become very crowded, we LOVED Camden, go to Mount Batte, beautiful view of Camden Harbor, Darmariscotti, ME, and Pemaquid Point for a stunning view of the Atlantic and a famous lighthouse, Rockland, ME to the Maine Lighthouse Museum. Wonderful trip. This was about 10 years ago, so things may have changed. Right before covid, we toured New England in the Fall, briefly going into Maine, but focusing on MA, VT, and NH. Hope this helps. Safe travels, and enjoy!
@mikewest90172 жыл бұрын
Also, we didn’t do any boating. If you are concerned about motion sickness, you may want to consider getting a scopolamine patch that goes behind your ear. I think it is prescription med. Be aware that if you touch it, and rub your eye, it can dilate your pupil and cause blurry vision. No danger to you, just a word of advice
@melissahenderson17142 жыл бұрын
@@mikewest9017 funny that you mentioned the patch dilating your eyes. 20 years ago we went in a cruise for our 5 anniversary and I had a patch behind my ear. One day I changed it and when we went to dinner I couldn’t read the menu. My eyes were dilated. I must have touched my eyes. I just thought it was the new patch. Thank you for the travel tips!

You’re welcome. Yes a side effect of that med is mild blurry vision, much worse if you touch your eye after touching the patch. Something to be aware of if driving while using the patch

Route 1 is the coastal route from Florida to Maine. A key note to visiting my state is to visit coastal towns and beaches during the middle of the week. Less traffic and easier to find parking. Also if you are going to my favorite town Boothbay, park by the fire station, sure you pay but it's the cheapest(after a certain time it's free) and they give you a cool map.
