Florida: Beyond the Theme Parks

When most people think of Florida, they think of theme parks, crowded attractions, and long lines. After spending nearly two months exploring the state, we discovered there's so much more to Florida than roller coasters and character meet-and-greets.

In this episode, we're sharing what surprised us most about the Sunshine State, from beautiful beaches and crystal-clear springs to incredible wildlife and some of the most unique food experiences we've found on the road. We talk about the easy access to the coast, the variety of landscapes packed into one state, and why Florida's outdoor spaces became some of our favorite places to explore.

We also discuss the state parks that impressed us, the wildlife encounters we won't forget, and how Florida's blend of cultures creates a food scene that's far more diverse than we expected.

Of course, no destination is perfect. We're also sharing a few things we didn't love, including traffic challenges and some disappointing experiences while searching for fresh local produce.
