Obviously, there is some bias in this, but the truth is Florida is one of, if not the best place to live in the whole United States. From the weather to the nature to the culture to the lifestyle that comes along with living here, there is not a short list of places I would rather live. For anyone who is making the transition down here, here is how you can make the most out of your new life among the land of palm trees and turquoise waters. 

The first thing you want to do when you get down here and are settled in is to get out of your comfort zone immediately. This means doing things you are not used to, going places you have not been before, and meeting as many new people as you can. This is your new home, so why not embrace it as much as possible? I…

While everyone loves a long weekend, Memorial Day is a time to honor and mourn military personnel who have died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. It started in 1868, shortly after the Civil War, when it was formalized by a "Memorial Day Order" issued by Grand Army of the Republic Commander-in-Chief John A. Logan to commemorate the sacrifices of those soldiers. Memorial Day became an official federal holiday in 1971. While cook-outs and parties are common this weekend, on Monday, the cities and towns across South Florida will remember those who gave their last full measure of devotion through events, gatherings, ceremonies, or parades. Here are some free local events to attend.
