Travel Diaries

Growing up as a daughter of hispanic immigrants you tend to live vicariously through your grandparent’s and parent’s stories of their home land. For me those stories consisted mainly of Cuba in the 1950s before the Cuban revolution. My grandmother always raved about how beautiful the island of Cuba is. Always speaking of the breathtaking beaches in Varadero, and the hustle and bustle in the city of Havana.

Life was calling for a little island adventure. Nestled in Florida's southernmost point, lying roughly 90 miles north of Cuba, is a little island called Key West. As a Miami native, this a vacation hotspot for most Flordians, and one that I've visited numerous of times since I was five years old.

Two East Coast wanderlusting souls set their sights on a California adventure. Check out the places we visited on our five day road trip through the West Coast.
