Stop 3: St. Pete, Florida’s Secret Crown Jewel

By : Angie Williams April 16, 2021 Comments Off

You had me at hello. Although I met awesome people and ate great food in Austin, I was ready to leave its car culture and winter freeze behind. From the moment I left the airport, I felt like I had been transported into a different dimension. With the tropical breeze against my skin, I suddenly found myself at ease. The Tampa Bay Area is truly one of Florida’s best-kept secrets. With all of the “Florida man” headlines, swamps and sinkholes, and the Cheeto Supreme situation in South Florida, I can see how easy it is for it to get lost in the chaos. It’s a decently sized blue area in what I consider to be the most “WTF state in America.” The entire region is worth exploring, but St. Petersburg -

Stop 2: Don’t Mess with Texas

After a wild ride in Mexico, I was ready to return to the US, faults and all. For those of you that haven’t been following along, I’m on a 12 cities in 12 months tour for 2021 and chronicling my adventures. My trek back to the good ol’ US of A started at 6 AM as I drove from Playa del Carmen to Cancun. It took me 50 minutes to make a 38 minute drive. I was an embarrassment to myself but I was determined to drive like a snail so I could avoid extortion during my last few hours in Mexico. It’s a good thing I took that approach because less than five minutes on the road, two cars flew by me and the third car was who? La

Stop 1: Mischief in Mexico

By : Angie Williams March 2, 2021 Comments Off

My 2021 adventure is officially off to the races! In case you missed the prelude, I will be traveling to 12 Cities in 12 months throughout the year. My first stop on the adventure: Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking: if you're supposed to be exploring different cities in America, why are you in Mexico? Mexico made the list for two reasons: 1. If T***p was reelected, I planned for it to be my escape pod. 2. I knew that if he lost, there would be some drama in January and I wanted to be nowhere near the US when it happened. Before the election, I spent a great deal of time researching different cities in Mexico for ex-pats and LGBTQ people. I've been to
