South Beach Florida

South Beach Florida

Living my entire life is fast paste life, I often found South Beach Florida as a must stop destination even if it was for a day swimming or an evening dinner.  Normally, I would head out to Caribbean, but this time it was South America.  Last minute reservation at Betsy was a great pick.  The trip to South America was spur of the moment and the hotel looked lovely online.  The place is beautifully decorated with an intimate feel. The staff was courteous, friendly and well dressed.  The location was perfect, right on Ocean Drive, steps from the park and beach, but several blocks away from the noisiest, most congested part of the deco district. The rooftop deck offers a great view, again away from the crowds, perfect for early morning coffee or an evening cocktail.

Most of my South Beach Florida stops were last minute decision, hotel wise. All of them were unique and beautiful.  Betcy was perfect because it was a calm and classy place, which did not bring up the urge to party, like I normally do when I am in South Beach Florida.  This time, I had to safe all my energy for my up coming trip to South America.

Everglades Florida is one of my favorite places to visit.  On my recent business trip to Miami, FL I could not help but to stop by the Everglades to enjoy the nature.  It was very early in the morning and the place was empty. There was not one single soul next to me.  It was nature and me.  There were hundreds of birds flying around and something was swimming in the water.  Being as brave as me, I was hopping from the stone to the stone, opting across the waters and asking the universe: “Please do not be an alligator!”   All I care is to capture the beauty of the nature!  The untouched, wild nature is what excites me the most in this life.

I am passionate about photography and video shooting and editing.  Here is my latest video that I shoot on Oceanic Blue Retreats YouTube Cannel! As I was shooting this video, I was surrounded by about 20 vultures.  (Most of them were near the trash can, having breakfast and I decided to cut the trash out of the video)  As I was coming close to the vultures, I was thinking if those would attack me or not.   I do not know much about those huge and powerful birds.  But the adrenaline was pumping in my blood and I needed to come close to them.  As I came closer and closer, the birds began hissing at me.  I walked right by to get to the water, where I could take more pictures and shoot video.
