A couple of years ago I got to visit Lovers Key State Park and found all kinds of fun shells. Then I left them in the bag for like a year and a half without being cleaned and couldn't get rid of the stink so I had to sacrifice them. I knew I wanted to…

Back in January of 2020 when I visited south Florida, I really wanted to visit Delnor-Wiggins Pass to go shelling but didn't make it that trip so when I was planning this trip with my parents, I knew we had to go. I had pretty high expectations for no real reason and was a little…

As I've already mentioned, when my parents came to visit, we had a shelling packed trip planned. Our first stop was Clearwater Beach after meeting up in Tallahassee and we did a lot of shelling here. Not super great shelling but shelling. I feel like we saw more sea specimens here than good shells (like…

Shelling on Sanibel is a bucket list topper for anyone that loves collecting sea shells. It's one of, if not the, best places in the world to go shelling and I finally got to visit this winter! When my parents came to visit Florida in March we had a big shelling focused trip planned and…

Biscayne national park is an underwater gem of a national park just outside of Miami, Florida, not far from it's neighbor, Everglades National Park. While they're close to each other, Biscayne receives far fewer visitors and is a totally different experience. Most people skip Biscayne because it is a mostly water park, but today I'm…

I love beaches. It's no secret. They are the one thing I really want to see more of. Well, and the springs. But this is about beaches. During both of my trips to St. Augustine, I went to Anastasia State Park and both were entirely different experiences. The first visit was back in November of…

I love shelling and that's no secret. If you're following me on Instagram (if you're not, you should!) you'll know I spent a week on Cape San Blas in Florida at the beginning of March. Before you come at me, this was literally right before everything with the virus really happened in the US. I…

On our South Florida road trip, we knew we would be spending most of our time in the Everglades and Big Cypress, but we also wanted to stop see Biscayne National Park. We weren't doing any boat tours but still wanted to see what the park was like on land. I knew it would be…
I've recently been a bit obsessed with the Galapagos Islands. I've been watching a documentary about them and went back through all of my pictures from my trip. I thought it would be fun to share some Galapagos Islands facts with you today. If you want to read more fun facts, here are some about…

It was almost time for us to leave Florida, but we had to do one thing before we left: go to the beach. We decided to go to Big Talbot State Park in Jacksonville, Florida. It was a little cloudy when we left, but we held out hope for it to brighten (and warm) up. …
