About Me

I’ve been lucky enough to grow up visiting Bar Harbor, a place that has always felt like a second home to me. My grandfather grew up on Long Pond in Mount Desert, and over the years it’s become a special family spot. I wanted to share some of my favorite places and experiences so you can enjoy Bar Harbor and Acadia the way I’ve loved them for years.
