About Cayla

Curious

I can’t resist taking the long way if it means discovering something unexpected.

Bold

I dive into new places headfirst — from swamps to sky coasters, I’m all in.

Playful

I chase fun wherever I go, whether it’s a quirky museum or a giant roadside flamingo.

Observant

I love the little details — a hand-painted sign, a local accent, or the way the air changes near the coast.

Who is Cayla?

I’m Cayla, part explorer, part storyteller, and full-time fan of Florida’s weird, wild, and wonderful places. I travel with a backpack, a camera, and a serious weakness for roadside fruit stands. From neon-lit cities to forgotten trails, I’m chasing sunshine, collecting stories, and probably getting sunburned along the way. I’m not a travel expert, just endlessly curious and always up for the next adventure, whether it’s paddling through a spring, riding a rollercoaster, or following a tip from a stranger I met at a taco truck.
