ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Travel is good for my soul 🌴Born and raised in South Florida I would like to share all the beautiful destinations we have to offer. I have compiled day guides in order to make it more flexible to choose the days you would like to combine for your future trip. I'm 50 years old so I prefer a slower paced itinerary. Not much night life included however I love day trips and history. I have traveled to Spain and Brazil and will include guides for those countries as well.
Viajar es bueno para mi alma 🌴 Nacida y criada en el sur de Florida, me gustaría compartir todos los hermosos destinos que tenemos para ofrecer. He elaborado guías de días para que sea más flexible elegir los días que te gustaría combinar para tu futuro viaje. Tengo 50 años, así que prefiero un itinerario más lento. No se incluye mucha vida nocturna, sin embargo, me encanta salir y amar la historia. He viajado a España y Brasil e incluiré guías para esos países también.
