@katty143 I can see that being a problem in Maine, although Acadia is gorgeous, so a really nice place to walk. Lucky you
France is very "civilized" as far as walking goes - you can hire a company to take your bags to the next inn, and you always have a village with coffee and pastries within a couple hours, plus dinners are wonderful, of course. Ireland was lovely, but the inns and food were not super. Nepal is
amazing and you can get porters to carry your stuff (helps the local economy and you get to meet nice local people). The teahouses in the Annapurnas are adequate and the food is good. The scenery is out of this world, of course. Ethiopia was beautiful and very very far away from it all seeming. We had donkeys and guides (local coop that does village improvements is the charity you go through to organize) and ate with local people. We were invited to a village feast in one place! There were constantly children running across the countryside to come and check us out and get their pictures taken. It was extremely charming.
So many great places to see outside the US, but the US is a big beautiful place, too. I'm from Washington State - some great hiking there.
