I have moved hither and thither and have called a few different places “home.” But, no matter where I go, no place is more “homey” than Maine. It could be the land, but I think it’s mostly the people. We are a kind and helpful state and no matter the circumstances, we’ll probably always leave a porch light on for you. Here are 12 reasons why people from Maine are the absolute best.

1. We are always up for an adventure.

And we smile a lot, because our state is FULL of stuff like this!
5. With over 30 colleges and universities, we're some smart folks.

And those that didn't go to college here learned about life from simply living in Maine. Good enough for us!
6. Our date nights look like this.

We don't need to dress up and spend a ton of money to have a really nice time.
