Weird Activities and Awkward Encounters at home and abroad
What is Disney After Hours? What’s the worst part about a day in a Disney Park? If you’ve been recently (especially around the holidays) you know it’s the crowds. People are the worst, but Disney has launched a new event that may just help solve this problem! Disney After Hours is a new event starting…
The more I travel, the more I appreciate my hometown of Orlando, FL. Don’t worry, I’m not slowing down, but Orlando has been my home for over a decade now and I absolutely love it. There are so many ways to experience Orlando. Disney World and the rest of our theme parks are obviously what…
I don’t even know where to begin an annual recap of 2016. It was just a really rough year. I experienced some pretty jarring personal loses this year, that’s cause my life to change in a very noticeable way, but it’s also just been hard year for humanity. We’ve lost a lot of people we…
There are many reasons to love October. It’s arguably the best month of the year. The weather turns cooler (an extraordinary blessing here in Florida), the pumpkin spice comes out, and who doesn’t love Halloween! Here in Orlando October also means The Epcot International Food and Wine Festival! It truly is the most wonderful time…
I’ve started seeing the most recent set of Tbex (huge travel blogging and industry conference) attendees post about their takeaways from the conference. This year’s Tbex North America in Fort Lauderdale was my second Tbex ( I also attended last year’s in Cancun). I love the conference and I still find it full of good…
Most beach towns bring to mind images of lazing the day away, feet in the sand with Corona in hand, as waves crash against the shore to the tune of a Jimmy Buffett song. Daytona Beach has no shortage of that beach bum lifestyle. This would be plenty to offer most vacationers, especially as…
Winter Park, FL has long been a hot food destination for Orlando residents, but it’s finally gaining traction among tourist as well. This is great news for the city, but not so great for finding parking or traffic on 1-4, but I’ll suffer. Winter Parks newest (and perhaps only) Bratalian restaurant is a wonderful addition…
I briefly hit on Deland in my recent post about Volusia County towns. Deland a small town located just about equidistant between Orlando and Daytona Beach. Part of Deland’s charm is that it’s downtown/main street area has no chains and only local shops and restaurants. One such establishment is The Shoppes at Rivertown. The Shoppes…
Volusia County is located in the North Eastern part of Central Florida. The most notable town in the county is of course, Daytona Beach, the self-proclaimed “world’s most famous beach.” Daytona Beach is great, but Volusia County is also home to some of the most charming small towns you’ll find anywhere. Some you may have…
Beach towns are a no-brainer for an affordable trip. The main attraction is gorgeous, tons of fun, and absolutely free (unless you’re in New Jersey, but don’t get me started on that). However when visiting Daytona Beach, if you get tired of sun and sand there are plenty of budget friendly options. 1- The Beach-…
