Key West

Where Inspiration Meets Tranquility
Key West: Inspiration at Mile 0

Key West really is an oasis of inspiration—where history and the present blend so effortlessly, it feels like time slows down. Seeing Humphrey Bogart’s old home at Mile 0 was a cool reminder of the island’s rich past and artistic vibe. I stayed at La Concha Crowne Plaza, which turned out to be the perfect base to explore everything. From the lively buzz of Duval Street to those peaceful, golden sunsets at Mallory Square—it all just came together like a dream.

Gateway to the Caribbean Spirit

The food was a real highlight of the trip—like little rewards along the way. That key lime pie from the famous spots? Totally lived up to the hype. One of my favorite moments was stopping at Midway Café, right in the middle of the scenic 7-Mile Bridge. There was something about that place—the quiet, the view—that made me pause and just think about everything. It felt like a reminder that the Southernmost Buoy isn’t just a photo op—it’s where the U.S. ends and something else begins.

Key West had this effortlessly chill vibe, full of art, history, and soul. Every moment there felt like it meant something. From the natural beauty to the local quirks, it’s one of those places that sticks with you long after you’ve left.
