Sharing a Love For New England
Nubble
Lighthouse, Cape Neddick, Maine.
Welcome to New England! My name is Eric
Hurwitz, editor and
publisher of VisitingNewEngland.com and my mission is
to share with you information -- just like you were family -- from real
people like us who have
come to live in, or visit, New England. Through original articles,
reviews and photo essays, as well as social media resources, and hotel
reservations resources, we offer you
virtually everything you need to plan your New England vacation.
Ultimately, we present to you New England travel information
straight-from-the-heart, based on our experiences. We feel that
is the most powerful way to let prospective travelers and New
Englanders looking for New England vacation ideas to learn about this
beautiful six-state region. Here, you can tour Connecticut, Maine,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont, en route to
planning your New England vacation or day trips.
Additionally, I am a huge proponent of small
businesses in New England,
recognizing the traditional, vital role they play in our society. I
only write about businesses I
feel a connection to as they offer a great experience for customers
while showing strong pride of ownership.
I have written about the joys of family-friendly New England travel for
millions
of visitors on VisitingNewEngland through the years, as well as having
been referenced by
major sites like USA Today, Woman's World, the Maine Office of
Tourism,
BusinessInsider.com, eHow.com and Wikipedia.com.
Also, I am the author of Massachusetts
Town Greens -- a book that celebrates the history of locals town
commons-- and was interviewed for a segment on
town greens on WCVB-TV Boston's
Chronicle. Without a doubt, my
greatest career highlight
is
continuously helping you with discovering New England.
The
typical New England travel guide often misses the nuances, the
under-the-radar places, and the underrated destinations that locals
know make New England so special. Not here, I love digging deep to
share stories that are both informative and entertaining!
So
relax, take in the breathtaking imagery of
the New England vacation
and travel essays, and ultimately picture yourself in the wonderful
environs of New England. May this online New England travel guide
serve as the next best
thing
to being in New England, and inspire you to visit a truly
spectacular region. Thank-you so much for coming to my small,
locally-based business with a big heart, and enjoy visiting New England!
Happy New England travel!

Here's something you will never see on a New England travel blog: a
dedicated section with stories on small businesses in New England! I
love these
small businesses and greatly believe in what they do. That
is why I wrote about them. Now is more important than ever to
tell the story on small businesses in America, and, specifically here,
on New England small businesses.
If you feel that your local, small
business would be of interest to travelers in New England, please write to us.
While we have a very selective process (only businesses I feel a
connection to so I can write authentically and truthfully for our
readers), I would love to hear your story and why your business is
special! It's a win-win: I get to write about great small
businesses and share it amongst our significant social media audience,
while you help support my small business.
