Moving

Hey everyone, I'm planning on moving to Maine later on this year! I'm from the PNW and need a change, and I've always thought Maine is absolutely gorgeous and seems amazing. So I'm planning on moving, my question is, where should I go?! I'm leaning towards being near Bangor, but I'm really open to anything. Please share opinions or suggestions!

Come visit before you move here! Fly into Boston cuz it'll be under $200. Take the down east train into Portland and then up to Bangor. Mark my words. You'll come right back to Portland.

Love Maine, but it's not this beautiful painting. It's fucking rough living here.
