I’ve lived in the Tampa Bay area for a year now and I think it’s an awesome place. I’m really happy that I moved here. However, just as anywhere does, it has it’s flaws. Although they may not be a deal breaker for me, they definitely could be for someone else. So, in the interest of giving anyone thinking about moving here a well rounded opinion, today we are going to cover my top eleven reasons why someone should NOT move to the Tampa Bay area.
For anyone looking to purchase near Tampa or move into the area, this honest, non-selling conversation is a must listen. John and I bring two separate viewpoints to the table, one of a newcomer and one of a seasoned Tampa area vet, and we spend the show discussing the pros and cons of living in a multitude of different areas covering seven counties around the Tampa Bay area.
This episode will wrap up our initial series of “Moving to Florida” episodes. Today I will briefly discuss my move to Florida, and how California tried to kill me to keep me there … like some kind of psycho, jilted lover. Then I will get into my initial impressions of Florida compared with California. Also included: Does anybody know how to drive? More license plates than people. How talking about water flow can be insulting. Too hot is too hot, anywhere. Living in a vacation destination. And, what the world is a “fifth third”?
I just moved from California to the Tampa area about 6 weeks ago, and I LOVE this area. It’s absolutely beautiful. I can’t wait to get out and explore it, and learn more about it, and I’d like to invite you along on that journey with me.
In this first episode I am going to spend some time making some introductions, to myself as well as my goals with this show. I’m also going to explain how I got here, why I chose Tampa over Hawaii, and what you can expect with the next shows going forward.
