I recently visited my girlfriend in Orlando where we stayed in an Airbnb hosted by the man behind the magic, Stefan Oswald. On the last night of my stay we decided to attend one of Stefan’s shows at the Great Magic Hall, and we had an absolutely fantastic experience from beginning to end. Extremely affordable, offering a good amount of humour paired with absolutely phenomenal magic tricks, I would highly recommend attending a magic show if you are in the area. The Great Magic Hall is also placed in the center of old town, so you can enjoy food, drinks and explore unique shops before or after a show. A fantastic outing for people of all ages, thank you again Stefan!

When most people think of Florida, they immediately think of Disney and all the beaches. However, Florida offers so much more. Trail riding with Abby at Lazy H Ranch was an amazing way to experience parts of Florida that are often forgotten! My 10 year old horse loving daughter and I can't wait to go back! Abby was very personable and knowledgeable, and she went above and beyond to get some great photos of us while riding. The scenery was beautiful. The horses were gentle yet spirited which made for a fun ride. I wish I would have discovered Lazy H Ranch sooner. We will definitely be going back for another ride next time we are in Kissimmee.
