Maine Travel Agent Expert

There are many different coastal regions of Maine to explore and eat lobster!  Each is worthy of some time spent to engulf yourself in all of Maine’s unique culture. 


The Beach Region is where vacationers flock for classic beach vacations with Maine flair.  Ogunquit, Old Orchard, Wells, and York all offer unforgettable beachfront experiences with historical sites, lovely lighthouses, cute beach towns, and award-winning seafood.  However, the favorite spot to visit is Kennebunkport, located at the mouth of the Kennebeck River and home of Dock Square.  


The Portland Region is home to my favorite city in New England and an area that I visit very often.  Portland is a bustling city with immense history and a proper working harbor.  The cobblestone streets, historical buildings, and tiny alleys wreak of times gone by.  As one of the newest cities in the country to be listed as a foodie's delight, this is a must-stop on your trek up the Maine coast.  When visiting, you should take time to explore the islands of Chebeague, Hope, Peaks, and Diamond.  


Maine’s Midcoast is sometimes overlooked, but this rugged coastline should not be missed.  With the picturesque villages on the vibrant waterfronts and where the foodie scene continues to flourish, Boothbay Harbor, Camden, Rockland, and many more are Maine’s best-kept secrets.  Go whale watching, maybe a sea kayak, or visit the beautiful parks and museums. 


The all-famous Downeast is the home of Mount Dessert Island and Acadia National Park!  The wonders of Acadia National are endless.  However, Downeast, Maine, is so much more than Acadia National Park.  Bar Harbor, Bucksport, Southwest Harbor, and Mount Dessert are amazing places to explore for their unrivaled scenery, quaint towns, beautiful hikes, sunset schooner rides….the list goes on and on!


If you're looking for a personal guide to this magical place, you’ve found them.  I have lived here my whole life and continuously explore the region.  I know what the locals know…because I am one.  Let me help you plan your trip so you can experience Maine with what fits your interests, wants, and budget.  Not only will I help you with the essential travel arrangements, but I will also guide you through finding accommodations, booking excursions, mapping out scenic drives, and putting together a personalized guide for the trip.

Awesome New Years in NH
We used Carrie to help us book a New Years Eve holiday with two other couples. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay despite the frigid temperatures. We stayed in an amazing B&B in the North Conway, NH area. We were centrally located to everything (dining, shopping, super breakfast spots and skiing!). Even though it was FREEZING we could still walk everywhere! Our lodging was great, the suggested skiing was fantastic, and I can't say enough about the dinner suggestions. Carrie knew exactly what we were looking for and knew where we could find it! All of us highly recommend her!

The best Maine vacation
Carrie helped us plan our trip to Kennebunkport, Maine. It was awesome! Her detailed agenda for places to visit was perfect. No searching, so guesswork, just perfect planning. Thank you, Carrie!

Ski The East
Ski the east! We did and it was epic. Maine hospitality is awesome, nothing like Colorado. Carrie hooked us up with flights, rooms, vehicle, food, rentals (which were super sweet demos), and lift tickets. We can't wait to do it again.

?Romantic Anniversary Trip
?My husband and I have always wanted to travel to Maine to experience the quintessential New England lifestyle. It just always seemed so romantic! We contacted Carrie to help us plan and she helped us figure out what we wanted to do and experience. Her detailed itinerary was full of places to see, dining, and scenic drives. She even told us where to get the best lobster roll! We will definitely call her again for all of our vacations.

Perfect Sister Travels
I am not sure how I came upon Carrie, but am I glad that I did! My sister and I have been looking for a girls getaway to the Maine coast forever. However, we are from the Midwest and had no idea where to start. It felt like Carrie was vetting us and I guess she was. Everything that we wanted and more we got to experience and see! Not one stone was unturned on this incredible sister getaway!
Thank you, Carrie!
