In need of a little relaxation and inspiration this summer? If you’re anything like me, I bet you do, because I am in serious need of a getaway. As an extremely introspective person, who also tends to work until I drop, I’ve found that the best way to fully recharge my batteries is to pack my bags and head to a relaxing new destination that promises lots of fresh air and beautiful landscapes to inspire my creativity and relax my mind.
With the chaos that has been my life lately (I started working for a startup, teaching myself programming, traveling even more than usual AND just recovered from the worst virus of my life), I’m in even more need of a relaxing getaway. Luckily, I’ll be moving to the gorgeous island of Mallorca at the end of June, so I’m hoping there will be lots of R&R in store for me over the next couple of months!
If you don’t have any holiday plans for the summer (or even if you do), you’ll definitely want to check out Maine’s latest tourism campaign and giveaway. Maine has so much to offer in terms of natural beauty and adventure activities, plus wonderful summer weather, I can’t really imagine a more perfect summer getaway.
If you’re a Henry David Thoreau fan, you’ll be especially inspired by this video:
The prize for the “Maine Thing Sweepstakes” includes roundtrip airfare, a 5-night/6-day stay for two at Gorman Chairback Lodge and Cabins with meals included, a day of fly-fishing with equipment and transportation, a cruise on Moosehead lake, as well as car, canoe and kayak rentals.

Best of luck & happy travels!
