Why Tampa Bay?

3 cities in one, Tampa Bay has the best mix of all that Florida offers. With 3 major league sports teams (NFL, NHL, MLB), Busch Gardens amusement park, and the #1 beaches in America, you will never run out of fun in the sun!

When to visit

Tampa Bay is sunny year round, but visit in October-November or January-March to avoid the summer heat.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hello and welcome to my Thatch profile! I am an Irish and American dual-citizen, currently living in Tampa, Florida. I have visited 3 continents, 20 countries, and 23 US states. I love to travel and share beautiful views from a bird's eye view with my drone. You can get a sense for my travels on my instagram @jonathandrones. In traveling with friends and family, I've developed a knack for finding the best spots to submerse into the local culture. My type of travel includes both a cultural experience and a relaxed one each day, as well as focusing on quality over quantity (or price!). You can expect a mix of luxury and thrifty lodgings, restaurants, and experiences in each of my travel guides. I love to plan travel as much as actually doing it. If seeing more of the world is in your future, check out my guides or reach out for a bespoke itinerary!
