I visited Maine with no clue what to expect. While I knew that the state had much to see and do, I had no idea how receptive locals were to Black travelers. From the time I landed in Portland I was welcomed with open arms and well wishes. Each city I traveled to felt comfortable and safe. It was also great to connect with other Black locals and travelers to enjoy the experience and activities with. Maine is full of great restaurants, deep history and great experiences such as sailing. I would definitely revisit and encourage others to visit as well.
