As much as I love [Disney World]( [Universal Orlando]( [Legoland Florida]( and all of Central Florida’s other themed attractions, I love exploring everything Florida has to offer outside of its world-class theme parks — as evidenced by the above photo of my Shingle Creek kayaking expedition in Kissimmee.

Though most travelers (myself included) often associate Florida with the beach or theme parks, Florida’s ecosystem and landscapes are actually incredibly diverse. Some of my best Florida memories include visiting the Ernest Hemingway Home in Key West, watching the mermaids swim at Weeki Wachee Springs State Park and getting up close and personal with alligators on an airboat ride in the headwaters of the Everglades near Orlando.
