5 Reasons To Visit The Florida Keys

Is visiting the Florida Keys on your travel bucket list? If not, it should be! Today I'm joined by Elizabeth Harryman Lasley and Jason Paton of the Florida Keys Traveler podcast to explore five reasons why you should plan a trip to the Keys. This episode will open your eyes to the unsuspecting magic of the Florida Keys as we dive into the rich history, food, and culture that makes this destination one of the most iconic places to visit. You'll learn why Ernest Hemingway called this place home, what sponge fishing and my favorite pie have in common, and the exciting ways you can experience the only coral reef in the continental US.  Stick around after the interview for a short episode from Florida Keys Traveler, which ties into my number one reason to visit (and is a personal dream of mine)! Do you share the same dream as I do? Have you experienced something like this yourself? I'd love to hear from you. Send me an audio message and let me know!
