Why Travel To Florida?
First up in our Why Travel To series: our state, Florida! The Why Travel To series aims to give you a glimpse of why you should want to go to a destination.

A budget trip to New York City
New York is an expensive city to live and visit – with higher tax rates, limited space, and millions of tourists converging to the Big City, there’s only so much resources and space to share. However, in this article, we try to give you tips on how to survive New York City on a budget by breaking down our costs so you may replicate our travels as well!
