If you have reached your limit with the rat race and want a simpler, more wholesome life, then Maine might be the place for you. But making a move is hard; uprooting and replanting yourself can be exhausting and worrisome. You need a place to live, a job, friends, hobbies, etc. In short, you need a new life, and you need it NOW. This little book will be absolutely invaluable in helping you to make that permanent move. It will save you a lot of time because all the initial footwork is done for you, including 100 links on how to find work and living quarters, getting your driver's license, pet requirements, programs for people with disabilities, programs for senior citizens, getting married in Maine, hidden taxes and expenses, hospitals, health insurance, handling a real winter like a pro, etc. This book also contains a launching platform to Maine's most precious treasure: The great outdoors. If you are interested in camping, fishing, hiking, skiing, geocaching, farming, gardening, homesteading, or prepping, this book is for YOU. The information contained herein will start you on journeys that will supply you with a lifetime of memories which cannot be had anywhere else but Maine. So stop being "just a number" or another face in the crowd. Walk away from the rat race. Become boldly individualistic and make your mark in life. You can still do that in Maine, one of the last holdouts of ordinary, old-fashioned, kind, and decent American living. Welcome!
