Michelle's life is a colorful map of exploration and adventure. From the iconic streets of New York to the sunny shores of Florida, the jagged coast of Maine to the rugged terrain of Montana, she's been fortunate to call some of America's most beautiful states home. Beyond the U.S., Michelle's wanderlust has taken her on a motorcycle journey through India, led her to teach English in Hanoi, and saw her studying Spanish in Guatemala. Michelle graduated with a communications degree from the S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University and in addition to a career in advertising has worked with OnlyInYourState since 2016, where her love for travel and storytelling converges. Alongside writing and exploring, Michelle finds joy in photography, staying active, and time with her family.

Oh, Maine… There’s no other state in the country like you. On the coast you’re full of nautical-inspired homes, and inland you’ve blended into the land just like real Mainers have blended into the the state itself. We love you for your ability to make us feel at home. But, mostly, we love you for reminding us that we are Mainers through and through. No matter where we go, we’ll always feel pride when we drive through and see homes like these. Thank you for letting us be ourselves and for always letting us fly our metaphorical Maine flag in that salty (or woodsy!) air. Here are some of our favorite Maine homes.
