I created Sunny State Travels to help you discover fun, affordable activities in and around Orlando. If you’re not into the bar scene but still want to find cool things to do in Orlando, this blog is for you.

Having lived in Central Florida for more than half my life, I’m usually the one in my friend group who plans outings or suggests new places to explore. I love helping people find their favorite hangouts. On this blog, you’ll find things like scenic hikes, botanical gardens, museums, historical sites, delicious food, cute shops, and those hidden-gem attractions that may be overlooked but are still a great visit.

You’ll also discover the best day trips from Orlando. Planning day trips is one of my passions. Fortunately, there are many wonderful destinations within driving distance of Orlando.

Although theme parks aren’t the main focus of this blog, I enjoy visiting them, and they’re a major part of Orlando’s identity. So you’ll also find some theme park content here. If you’re planning a Disney trip, I’m happy to share my expertise with you!

One of my favorite things about travel is the anticipation of what’s to come. Every adventure is full of infinite promise. My hope is to convey that sense of excitement to you through this blog. Thanks for coming along for the ride!
