THIS MADE MY HEART SO HAPPY, thank you for letting me bring you along and consider this part of work. I feel beyond blessed for this job and a chance to see new places, take time to reflect + spend quality time with YOU. Adding all the links, info about where we went + time stamps below here, so it is easily accessible for my mobile viewer friends toooo
More solo trips please! 😍💖 the lobster rolls look so good, I’m planning to get one tomorrow at a restaurant I’ve never been to before 😆 Here’s to new adventures! 🤩
I’m so happy you’re getting the opportunity to travel solo! Travelling solo was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life. I went backpacking after a break up in college for what I had planned was two months, and seven years later I am living in England married to a man I met in Prague. Solo travel makes you grow, challenge yourself, and learn more about who you truly are through the moments of being alone. I am so happy for you, and I can’t wait to keep supporting your travel vlogs. So so much love for you, embrace the chaos and live to the fullest.
So glad that you enjoyed Southern Maine. I moved back to Maine a few years ago after living in San Diego for a decade while I served in the Navy. Winters are tough but Maine is always home. ❤️
That's such a great idea of collecting art pieces wherever you go! We have a few different collections from our travels. Me and my mum collect postcards, and frame them as mini art pieces. Not just the stereotypical postcard, but unique ones made by local artists.
aww yay I'm glad you enjoyed the northeast!! and the way you said "portsmouth" made me smile! my husband and I love visiting Kennebunkport. He actually made me a necklace from the sea glass we got on the beach you visited ❤
Your attitude towards the broken phone was so impressive. You have obviously decided you are going to go with the flow and trust everything is happening for a reason. Be proud of yourself because you are kicking ass at life right now! Big love from Ireland 🍀 xx
You go on being independent and getting to know You!! You will appreciate the times you are alone,but you're never alone..God bless you and all that great,positive energy!
You can tell this travel has been good for you. So light-hearted! Sharing this video w/my friend Joanne. She's like a mom to me and this is just the type of thing we do on a more local scale. Good coffee, good food, good atmosphere .....simple recipe for wonderful memories :)
You'll have to add food and travel vlogger to your list of achievements! Love all of these vlogs, your energy has been so happy and peaceful in all of these beautiful places 🤍
When you first mentioned wanting to do these, my thought was that it would be great for you, and I would be so happy for you, but that it wouldn't be one of your vlogs I would be overly excited to watch. Then this video popped up and you chose MAINE! We are interested in moving to Maine and I was so happy to see this video. Thank you!
I started following you after I saw your divorce video. To be honest, I'm not really sure why, as we don't have much in common. I've never been married and I'm an atheist who enjoys drinking on the weekends (lol) but I just really love your content. I find it very comforting and I admire your vulnerability and strength during a difficult time. I also really appreciate that while you can tell Christianity is a very important part of your life, it never feels like something you're pushing or forcing on your viewers. I don't really comment on videos much but I wanted to tell you that I love your content (especially the travel vlogs
Many thanks for taking all of your subscribers with you on your solo travel trip. I am a New Englander and have to say that your content and photography was beyond beautiful. Loved your idea of streaming your church service on Easter from such a gorgeous place. Also loved your Boston trip. Nice to see you so happy and adventurous.
I wasn't sure if I would enjoy these travel vlogs as much as your daily life vlogs, because I haven't when other vloggers start doing them, but I love them!! I'm really looking forward to you doing more, I love the small town element, and just the whole thing! Very relaxing and enjoyable to watch.
Kennebunkport is my home town. Glad you enjoyed your time here. If you’d looked to the ocean while at Portland Head you would have seen another lighthouse. Across the bridge, in South Portland you could have visited Bug Lighthouse and Springpoint Lighthouse. A little further to Cape Elizabeth and you would have made it to Two Lights state park, which has two more lighthouses. Next trip. 😊
I don't usually comment on videos, but being from this part of Maine, it was so cool to see you go to places I went growing up and still go to today. Glad you enjoyed your time in Maine and New Hampshire!
Solo travel to europe changed my life. Many of my best memories are from this experience. I learned I am stronger than I thought. Now being married and pregnant I will treasure that time. I am glad you are living this stage of life to the max and taking advantage.
Oh Michel, loved both these travel vlogs. Now desperately wanting that delicious looking lobster roll and clam chowder. My first solo trip was to Ireland. Absolutely loved every moment of it. Mainly did B&B too. Great way to find a, interesting local things and hikes to see and experience. Enjoy your vlogs always but excited to see more travel. You are more than capable!
Seeing you in Portsmouth made me so giddy, wish I could have showed you around because the charm just gets better. Prescott Park is on the water in the opposite direction than you walked & you would have sooo fallen in love!! So happy to see you enjoying your solo time in the place I call home ❤️ xoxo
My heart is full. Thank you so much for visiting lighthouses on your trip. I love lighthouses and hope someday to see one in person. Lighthouses to me are beacons of light which brings hope and a new beginning.
I spent a year in Maine, traveling Monday through Thursday, with a prior employer and fell in love with Maine. My happy place. I love Pemaquid and stayed at a B&B near the lighthouse. Woke up before sunrise every morning I was there, walked to the lighthouse and watched the sunrise. Breathtaking. Thank you for the memories of Maine and taking me along.
Loving the content 🥰 I am preparing a solo trip for myself as well around the Tampa area or City of Naples, and seeing you enjoy yourself is inspiring 🤍
I'm watching your video and it's raining in the video, raining and thundering in TX while watching and I was amazed at the synchronicity haha loved this!
I grew up in Florida, live in Seattle, and lighthouses are everything. They're one of my favorite things in the world because I can't live off the water. It totally makes sense that you would look for lighthouses. They're magic. Also, you got such awesome art! Please keep doing these travel vlogs, they're so good!
So wonderful you got out to travel to such beautiful places & enjoyed it all . So fun to watch & see how much you enjoyed it all & kept it simple & relaxing! Not rushing around from place to place. Grateful to have seen this!
I’m from and live in New Hampshire! So cool to see an influencer I follow explore this area since I don’t see it very often with the people I follow. Glad you enjoyed your time 😊
My husband and I collect paintings from every place we travel and we have started a really cute gallery wall! Such a fun thing to remember your trip by!
It’s crazy to see you at my childhood beach! I grew up in Kennebunk and have spent many afternoons sitting and reflecting on that jetty. I love to see you solo traveling and am glad that you enjoyed Maine! I’ve actually been living in Spain for over three years, so you made me miss home a little!
You should be so proud of yourself ! To be so young you are very brave and independent. I have two grown daughters that have not done what you are able to do. Kudos to you ! I loved traveling with you sweetheart
We’ve spent a lot of time in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. They’re all so pretty and historic, and we’ll worth multiple trips, including in the winter, when we skied, hiked, and snowshoed,
I live in Exeter NH, very close to Portsmouth. May and June are my favorite months with the flowering trees. Fall foliage is beautiful. Next time take a trip to Freeport Maine and LLBean!! And bring a friend!! We also have great beaches. Enjoy!!
Thank you for being such an inspiration. I’ll be 47 in June, and while I have always dreamt about solo traveling, I’ve never done so (driving to/from East Texas to Austin or Galveston to visit my sisters does not count!). While I still can’t (only caregiver for disabled father), it is definitely at the top of my bucket list once I am no longer needed by my father. Your channel has been far and away the *best* RUclips find EVER. 💜💜💜
Michel you are absolutely thriving! These videos have been so wonderful to watch you just seem so light and happy! You have really inspired and motivated me to stop messing around and get started on some goals and dreams that I want to do! Keep thriving, traveling and continue bringing us with you ❤️ xx
Definitely pick up artwork from everywhere you travel for a gallery wall! This is something that I do, and now my house has these beautiful works of art with happy memories attached! It’s so worth the money!
I absolutely loved watching this! You look so happy and it’s incredible that you navigated the hardships that popped up out of the blue. Michel I say this in the kindest way I can, I think your divorce saved your 20’s. And I’m so glad it did - looking forward to more casual blogs and adventures from you!
So glad you are not waiting around for someone to travel with….you are your own best company. For health reasons I can’t travel anymore but I love watching you enjoy it.
Oh Michel thank you so much for taking us along on your solo trip, just so picturesque. The pictures are just like I had anticipated ❤️❤️. I am so sorry your phone broke and especially like you said God is helping you navigate on your own. I am enjoying this trip with you so much❤️❤️❤️❤️
It makes me so happy that you’re making time to travel! You will never ever regret taking advantage of the freedom in this season of life to go on adventures. Love from Hawaii!
Dreaming of lighthouses symbolizes finding direction within yourself. I love that you made them so central to your trip. It's so great to see you branching out and having so much fun with it. :)
I’ve got some friends in Portland, and that’s one of their absolute favorite things about it…the FOOD! That…and being able to walk everywhere. They love to travel and find all the good food 😊everything looked so delicious and relaxing.
I enjoyed the trip. I'm a great. Grandma, 67, from Iowa and pretty much housebound. I've shed many a tear with you and also much joy. My husband died almost 5 years ago. I married him twice. We were divorced for several years in between. I too am so blessed. I love your music selections. Can you share the artists? Love you and your vlogs.
Michel it's so nice to see you so happy & enjoying your solo trip!! I'm so envious of your trip to these amazing stops!! It's so beautiful & seems so relaxing away from the hustle & bustle of the big cities. I think it's just what you needed to get relaxed & refreshed from all of the stressful things you've been through over the last year. Thank you for sharing this beautiful trip with us all 😁👍. I'm praying for you to have a safe trip back home 🙏. Please give sweet Max lots of hugs 🤗 when you get home. I'm sure you both miss each other so much. Prayers & Wishes Lisa Hampton 😃
You are so inspirational!! I love that you are seeing all these cool places, especially the lighthouses!! You are too cute when standing by them and filming. I am so glad that you are taking this time to grow and see new things. Makes my heart smile
We love Portland! We are in NH and when ever our kids have sporting events in Portland we get so excited for the “food tour” we get to take! So many amazing places! Hope you enjoyed New England!

This vlog looks like a whole contemporary coming of age novel vibe. 💜
Awe!!! I love this!!!

It's like a taoist mindset. Love it.
The content these past few months have been amazing Michel
Totally agree!
You are right! Portsmith looks like a gem. Parking, honor system...so cute!
You go on being independent and getting to know You!! You will appreciate the times you are alone,but you're never alone..God bless you and all that great,positive energy!

Wow you have such a light, happy vibe! So happy for you ❤
I’ve never been to Maine or New Hampshire so this was sooooo amazing to see!!! So peaceful, scenic and beautiful!!!
You'll have to add food and travel vlogger to your list of achievements! Love all of these vlogs, your energy has been so happy and peaceful in all of these beautiful places 🤍

I grew up in Kennebunk/Kennebunkport. It was so fun watching your face light up as you explored. Makes me miss living there! 🥺
Just been binge watching your vlogs for 2 days haha. I LOVE THEM! They are so healing and you have such a beautiful soul🤍
Kennebunkport is my home town. Glad you enjoyed your time here. If you’d looked to the ocean while at Portland Head you would have seen another lighthouse.

A little further to Cape Elizabeth and you would have made it to Two Lights state park, which has two more lighthouses. Next trip. 😊
Looks like Nubble Point Lighthouse in York, Maine. I camped there often. In your heart, you are a New Englander.
I don't usually comment on videos, but being from this part of Maine, it was so cool to see you go to places I went growing up and still go to today. Glad you enjoyed your time in Maine and New Hampshire!
We've been to York every year since I was a baby. Maine is my comfort vacation spot. Glad you got to experience it. ❤️❤️
So glad you enjoyed Maine! I've lived here my whole life and so fun to watch you explore and see all the places I've been to on your vlog!!

I've been loving these longer vlogs lately. 🥰
live in CT and love visiting Rockport, MA. perfect little beach town
I live right down the road from the Nubble Lighthouse! ❤️
And that's the AT&T where I bought my phone 😆
Lighthouses are amazing! I love that you visited so many!
Aww..I live in Maine, so this makes my heart happy! Glad you enjoyed it!
Loving the content 🥰 I am preparing a solo trip for myself as well around the Tampa area or City of Naples, and seeing you enjoy yourself is inspiring 🤍

I was able to explore Maine for 18 weeks alone, I loved it! I was a travel nurse there, beautiful state. Wish you could of gone further north.
So wonderful you got out to travel to such beautiful places & enjoyed it all . So fun to watch & see how much you enjoyed it all & kept it simple & relaxing! Not rushing around from place to place. Grateful to have seen this!
Love the intro and I’m obsessed with the amount of vlogs we get!! So happy to see you shining ☀️💗
I love living in Portland - the food, the charm, the people - it’s the best!
Michel come to Dublin on another solo trip ☺️ would love to show you around/give recommendations!
😩 an absolute dream
Was thinking about traveling solo here myself... usually not afraid to do that for places close to me but needed this. Thank you for posting this.
I’m from and live in New Hampshire! So cool to see an influencer I follow explore this area since I don’t see it very often with the people I follow. Glad you enjoyed your time 😊
this was the final push that i needed to book my solo trip to maine!!!!!
So happy you got to travel to Maine solo. Really enjoyed your video. I hope to visit Maine soon.
I really am enjoying the vibe of this vlog. A wonderful window to the coast of Maine! Subscribed

I admire your courage to take these solo trips. I’ve always wanted to visit Maine. It looks beautiful.
Usually I would say - when visiting someplace, try a church there. But - land sake! Michel totally found a new way to worship, and I love that!!!
You should be so proud of yourself ! To be so young you are very brave and independent. I have two grown daughters that have not done what you are able to do. Kudos to you ! I loved traveling with you sweetheart
I wish I’d done this. I am so happy you are able to travel solo and just be you!
We’ve spent a lot of time in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. They’re all so pretty and historic, and we’ll worth multiple trips, including in the winter, when we skied, hiked, and snowshoed,
So happy I found your video! I’m heading to Maine in about a week from now so this was perfect. Wish me luck !
I live in New Hampshire. I love that you came up for visit. *smiles*

That was awesome. I visited a lighthouse on Hunting Island, SC earlier this year. It is an amazing thing to see.
Great trip thanks for taking us with you

Love this vlog! Can’t wait for your next travel vlog 🧳
After my divorce in 2015 I've solo travelled and camped numerous times. I have found it very cathartic!!
I really enjoy your solo trip vlogs !!!
Oh wow, I had no idea you were here in Portland, Maine!! So cool! Glad you enjoyed it. I love being a Mainer.
Loved this one too! Looked like a great trip & hopefully you can do more in the future!
You are amazing! This blog made me happy.
We love you, Michel ♥️ So glad your first solo trip was such a memorable, blissful one.
Dreaming of lighthouses symbolizes finding direction within yourself. I love that you made them so central to your trip. It's so great to see you branching out and having so much fun with it. :)
You should have kept coming up the coast to NL, Canada! It’s so beautiful here, if you liked Maine you would LOVE Newfoundland 🥰🤍
These travel vlogs are just so special to watch 🥺 I’m so happy for you and this new adventure ahead for you!!
I’ve got some friends in Portland, and that’s one of their absolute favorite things about it…the FOOD! That…and being able to walk everywhere. They love to travel and find all the good food 😊everything looked so delicious and relaxing.
