Introduction & Vibe
Miami offers a sensory overload. It's a place of striking contrasts: glamorous yet gritty, laid-back yet fast-paced, deeply American but with an undeniable Latin American soul. The air is thick with humidity, the sounds of Spanish, and the faint beat of reggaeton, creating a vibe that's electric, intoxicating, and completely unique.
Why Visit?
The number one reason to visit Miami is its culture. It's an incredible fusion, especially in neighborhoods like Little Havana, where you truly feel the heart of Cuba beating strong. Then there's the art scene; from the world-class street art of Wynwood that feels like an open-air museum to the high-end galleries in the Design District, it's a visual feast. Of course, the iconic beaches of Miami Beach are just as stunning as you imagine. And the food! It isn't just about Cuban sandwiches and stone crabs (though you must try both); it's a culinary powerhouse with flavors from all over the Caribbean and South America. Miami is a city that's constantly evolving, always exciting, and never, ever boring.

Planning your trip to Miami? Using the links below helps support this site at no extra cost to you. I've only placed products here that I actually use and trust myself. Thank you for your support 🫶!
Trusted Swiss VPN I use every single day as a nomad. It lets me appear in other countries to access region‑locked services (often financial), works in censored regions, and hides your IP from websites, advertisers, and governments — because what you do online is your business.
One of the only 3rd party booking tools that I actually trust. Great for booking flights, hotels, and car rentals. Often times I use this specifically to get the extra info it has about accommodations like square feet/meters.
My go-to e-sim when I am traveling. It's always got a competitive price and it has some nice extra features like a built-in VPN, ad-blocker, and web protection.
Travel medical insurance designed for digital nomads and long-term travelers. Simple and flexible. I myself haven't had to file and claims through them yet though I know others who have and the process has been straight forward for them and they got properly covered.
