Welcome to Miami...

I’ve never been particularly interested in visiting the United States, aside from Vegas. So when my friends suggested going to celebrate their birthdays in Miami, I agreed. Though I didn’t really have expectations of what it was going to be like. I was more excited about the prospect of getting out of the country, travelling with friends and soaking up some sun, more than I was the destination I would arrive at. Before going I did speak to a few people, looked at photos online and was given some recommendations, so there were places I was beginning to looking forward to visiting.

Miami is known for its boat parties, beach parties and wild clubs. It is where people from all over come to play, and after spending 7 days there, I can see why. Between the sun, fun, South Beach, Wynwood, the Design District and all the beautiful people, I had an absolutely blast. I will certainly be back. I think Miami is one of those places you go for the sunshine and blue skies, but stay for the culture, beautiful food and vibrant street art.

I have to say my week spent in Miami was one of the best weeks I’ve had all year and it was certainly made by the people I went with. I laughed a lot, ate even more and drank even more still. I’m all for travelling alone, I love it! But if you’re planning on visiting Miami, go with people you can have fun with, you’ll enjoy yourself that much more.
