Hang Gliding at Wallaby Ranch

March 18, 2020 by etchedinadventure

With the goodest of boys waiting for my turn to fly. Why did I decide to go hang gliding? One of the reasons for going was I had had a cancer scare that I was actually mentally ready for. Some of my family members had experienced cancer and, frankly, I was asking for it. Drinking excessively and for more days a week than not, partying until the sun came up, chain smoking, skipping the gym to nurse hangovers. It was […]

Skydive Space Center: Skydiving from 18,000ft.

October 11, 2019 by etchedinadventure

What to know before deciding to jump out of a plane? Is it what I expected? No, not at all, but it’s not that big of a deal! After having been recommended a Groupon to jump from 18,000ft for $241, I simply went for it. I met my friend up who I was skydiving with the morning of and we carpooled 40 minutes to our reservation at 9am at Skydive Space Center, near John Kennedy Space Center, in Titusville, Florida. […]

Hidden Gems: 6 of Florida’s Most Underrated Road Trips

December 14, 2016 by etchedinadventure

It’s no secret Florida is most known for Orlando’s theme parks, Miami Beach, and Everglades National Park, but what else does Florida have to offer tourists and locals alike? Being a born and raised Floridian I’ve found six of the most underrated destinations for the weekend getaway or road trip in and around Florida. 1. Blowing Rocks Preserve in Hobe Sound, Florida: You can’t beat bouldering these cliffs while watching the tides roll in but keep in mind many of these rocks are sharp and sitting on most of […]

Exploring St. Petersburg, Florida

September 10, 2016 by etchedinadventure

What brought me to St.Petersburg, Florida? Simple. What’s the point of being a born and raised Floridian traveling the world when you haven’t even ventured into your own backyard? So here’s what I saw. Florida Holocaust Museum: I have a mild obsession for World War II and the Holocaust. Despite it being a time period of tremendous pain, hardship, and suffering I have been intrigued by the facts and the stories of the participants and victims on arguably the biggest conflict and […]

Day Trip to Miami

July 16, 2016 by etchedinadventure

Miami is heavily influenced by Hispanic culture, namely Cuban. As of late a toxic algae has unfortunately tainted the water making it green and foul-smelling and many of the curious and active fish and manatees are gone as well as the infamous beaches being no longer safe to visit for the time-being. Wynwood Walls: Overrun by hipsters and tourists during the summer, Wynwood Walls is the center piece of the art district, Wynwood, that was generally avoided before the art scene’s revival. Now breweries, […]

Impact Wrestling: A Kid in the Ring

March 17, 2016 by etchedinadventure

When you were 8-years-old and had 60 minutes before your 9pm bedtime what would you watch for an hour with your dad, older brother, and a bowl of popcorn? WRESTLING! You’d beg your mom for another five minutes time and again, pulling every trick in the book to finish watching the main event. Pretending to fall asleep, lying that dad said it was okay, or saying you had pins and needles in your feet and needed to wait for it to […]

Pit Stop in St. Augustine, Florida

February 14, 2016 by etchedinadventure

  Just over an hour drive from Orlando, St. Augustine, Florida is small. So small that getting around on foot is too easy. Take advantage of the free street parking, wear comfortable shoes, and get lost in the art, history, and quaintness of this small town!     WHAT TO SEE & WHERE TO EAT:     Make sure to stop by Flagler college’s main campus which is well-known for originally being a huge, high-end hotel!   This town has blocks of art galleries, museums, specialty […]
