That Time I Was the Least Cool Kid at Art Basel’s Least Cool Party

Posted on December 10, 2015December 11, 2015 by Valerie Conners

Posted on April 1, 2015August 19, 2015 by Valerie Conners

Over the years, I have paddled into rocky outcrops, cave walls, and mangrove trees. I have scared small animals, water fowl, and Ayaz. Yet, I keep kayaking — and I love it.

Local’s Miami Beach: North Beach > South Beach

Posted on January 7, 2015August 18, 2015 by Valerie Conners

Don’t be fooled, you would-be traveler to Miami Beach! South Beach might be the tourist epicenter of Miami Beach, but it is most certainly, NOT where it’s at. Head a few miles to North Beach — a blissful world away from South Beach’s madness.

Posted on December 23, 2014August 18, 2015 by Valerie Conners

Best beach, best island, best mellow vibe. Which category does Key Biscayne fit into? That’s a trick question, silly. The answer is ALL of them.

Pitbull and Enrique: The Most Miami Thing to Happen in Miami, Ever

Posted on December 2, 2014December 2, 2014 by Valerie Conners

Pitbull is a bald beacon of joy. What I didn’t know was that he’s also a bit of a philosopher. Yes, you read that right.

Miami is Nice, So I’ll Live There Twice… Miami!

Posted on October 9, 2014October 7, 2014 by Valerie Conners

If you read this post’s headline and immediately thought, “GOLDEN GIRLS!,” well, bravo! We should definitely be friends in real life if we’re not already, because, well, GOLDEN GIRLS.

Miami After Dark (or, How I Like to Spend My Noches)

Posted on April 10, 2013February 9, 2014 by Valerie Conners

A wise man once crooned, ok, growled, “There ain’t nothin’ like Miami’s heat!” And you know what? He’s right.

Benvenido a Miami!

Posted on March 2, 2013February 9, 2014 by Valerie Conners

Oh, come on, now! You didn’t think I’d write my first post about Miami and not prominently feature the finest moment in Golden Girls history, did you?
