We want you to love this state as much as we do! Here on this site we tell you all about the best places to visit and hidden little gems off the beaten path written by locals.
Authentic Florida
How It all Started
It all started after I was born in Miami Florida. It created a love for Florida in me that would bring me back to this wonderful state over and over again.
After having lived in Florida for many years in different places like Miami, the Florida Keys, Central, and Southwest Florida, I got to know Florida pretty good.
Today I write about Florida to show you the Florida that I know. The popular places and the hidden gems that people who visit Florida might not even know about.
All of our articles are written by people who have either lived in Florida for many years or have visited Florida so many times that it’s like their second home.
