Discover Florida

I’m Chris Zasada, a Midwest transplant that moved down to Sunny South Florida way back in 1999. 

When I moved here, the Internet wasn’t what it is today.  There were very few resources outside of the old school travel agents that could give me information about where to live, where to eat, where to do activities, and how much things cost!
