Born and raised in Key West Florida, a true Conch, I have a lot of pride in my hometown.  When someone asks me about Key West, I love to share my own personal experiences and things I've learned throughout the years.  I like to help make their trip to Key West just a little more magical than it already will be. I finally decided to put it all in writing.  This blog will be my outlet for all things Key West, plus other locations I have lived in or traveled to in Florida, the US and overseas. Check back for new content weekly. Thank you and enjoy ☺️  -Karey from Key West. The Island Girl Guide.
