Top 5 Vacation Spots In Florida

Welcome to the travel diaries series that I have embarked on for this summer. I find traveling to new and different places so much fun. For me, booking the vacay is sometimes just as much fun as the actual trip itself. After all, the anticipation makes me super stoked. But hey, the actual vacation is where you make the memories, right? OK, so for the first installment of the travel diaries, I am going to give you my top five picks for destinations in Florida!

Obviously these are just my opinions since I did the research, but enjoy regardless!

1. Destin, Florida

Located in the northwest region of the Sunshine State, Destin sits on the Emerald Coast with beautiful blue-green water. With white, powdery sand and the Gulf of Mexico water, this beach destination is one of the most beautiful locations and you don’t even have to step foot into another country! Local attractions include the boardwalk, popular fishing and water parks. Destin may be the spot for you if you are looking to relax, wine and dine. Go to Destin and see what Florida’s beautiful beaches have to offer if you’re up for a nature walk!

2. Miami, Florida

If you’re looking to have a bunch of fun in the sun, look no further! Miami has a Cuban flair about it with authentic restaurants and wild nightlife. Beaches span this southeastern Florida city. Insta-worthy cafes and trendy nightclubs fill up this city with a young flair, so be sure to hit up South Beach if you can.

3. Marco Island, Florida

A beach town off the coast of the city of Naples, Marco Island is home to white, powdery sand and pristine Gulf of Mexico water as well! Marco Island may be the spot for you if you’re looking to sit back and relax at a beach resort or play golf.

4. Islamorada (Florida Keys)

This beautiful beach is a hot spot in the Florida Keys. The Keys are a wonderful vacation spot if you’re looking to soak up the sun and feel like you’re in another world, but right in the Sunshine State! No passport required. This beautiful beach resort gives you close access to Key West, Big Pine Key, Marathon and Key Largo. Relaxation at a spa, dolphin tours, fishing and snorkeling can all be accomplished at these sandy beaches.

5. Walt Disney World

Anyone who knows me well knows that I am a Disney World addict (putting it lightly). There is no way you can make it your whole life without visiting the mouse! Disney World brings out the inner child in anyone. With awesome theme parks, decadent dining, entertainment, golf, water parks and much more, you can't go wrong with a Disney vacation whether you’re 15 or 50!

So those are my picks. Any other suggestions? Sound off in the comments!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
