  • Along on a mountain in Maine! I hiked Mt. Katahdin and camped in a bunker in Baxter State Park. It was a fun and challenging adventure!
    When I was 8, my family moved to Maine and I lived there until I went to college. This is my first time back since 2014!

But once again; you did a great job 💯👌🏼👊🏼 The surroundings were beautiful and the scenery was magnificent. Out of this world. Really stunning! It's an excellent way to come to yourself with lot's of zen moments that bring you closer to yourself and enjoy the quality of life🙏🏼 And your music choice was totally on point 🎯
    Keep surprising us and bring us along on your (new) experiences and let us enjoy your (new) encounters. Enjoy the city vibes again and have a great weekend. Don't get too naughty 😜
