• Behind the blog

    How it all started

    I started this blog because I got tired of trying to learn about places through paid reviews, sponsored lists, and articles that all sounded the same. Whether it was restaurants, neighborhoods, or even real estate advice, it felt harder than it should be to find honest opinions from someone who actually lives here and knows the area beyond the headlines.

    Living in St. Petersburg, owning a home here, and spending years getting to know the city gave me a different perspective — one that doesn’t come from a magazine or a marketing budget. This blog is my way of sharing real experiences, local insights, and practical guidance from someone who genuinely loves this place. No hype, no fluff — just thoughtful takes on neighborhoods, lifestyle, and real estate from a real person who’s in it every day.
