Travel Guide | Orlando + Tampa + Jacksonville

“All of the Places doing all of the Things“

Thoughts

This past week, I took a trip away from everything in Miami, and it was GREAT. I visited old college friends, museums and family members (all while socially distancing and/or wearing a mask). This trip was such a joy to me and thank you to all my friends who reserved a whole day or a whole hour to spend with me. Those moments gave me more life than you'll ever know.

Okay, okay… all sappy-ness aside, I've compiled a list of restaurants, places and random activities that you should look into if you're ever in the Orlando, Tampa, or Jacksonville area.
