A unique Maine travel experience is gaining popularity thanks to The Belle of Belgrade, a small adventure bus that carries up to 10 passengers on themed day trips across the state.
Created by Lyndee Waldbauer, who moved to Maine from Maryland four years ago, the bus has spent the past six months taking guests on book crawls, thrift-shopping excursions, tea parties, and other customized outings.
Waldbauer says the goal is to help people discover the places and communities that made her fall in love with Maine. While some trips are planned by her, others are designed around requests from groups looking for a special day out.
Recently, a Farmington book club climbed aboard for a literary-themed tour through Belgrade and Waterville. Participants praised the experience for its fun atmosphere, social connections, and chance to explore new places.
Beyond creating memorable adventures, Waldbauer says each trip helps support local businesses and communities, bringing visitors and economic activity to small towns throughout Maine.
