About Gage – Your Florida Dreams Navigator
A Love Affair With Florida
Welcome to the sunshine-drenched corners of my world, where the dreams of endless summer come to life, and the magic of Florida is just a heartbeat away. I’m Gage, your guide, friend, and the enthusiastic navigator of your Florida dreams. Born under the snowy skies of Michigan, my journey led me to the endless summer of the Sunshine State, a place that captured my heart as a Make-A-Wish kid wandering the magical realms of Disney World.
From the iconic Disney mouse ears that first sparked my imagination to the hidden gems that keep it alight, Florida is not just a place I visit; it’s the place I live and breathe. Attractions, beaches, restaurants, and even the bustling real estate market – you name it, I’ve explored it, and I’m here to share it all with you.
Who is Gage:
The Dreamer and Doer
At 28, I’ve turned my childhood dreams into a canvas of inspiration and knowledge for others. Born in Michigan and a general business and marketing graduate, I’ve found my true calling in the vibrant landscapes of Florida. My heart beats for everything this state has to offer – from the thrill of Disney World to the tranquility of its beach towns. My ultimate dream? To live in Golden Oak Disney, where magic is a lifestyle. (ok ok, a guy can dream right?)
A Journey of Passion
My passion for Florida is deeply personal. My first trip to Disney World was as a Make-A-Wish kid, staying at Give Kids The World. That experience left an indelible mark on my heart, igniting a fire to explore every corner of Florida and share its wonders with the world. Alongside my mother April, I’ve become the voice behind the blogs you’ll find here, sharing insights on Florida’s attractions, vacation homes, travel tips, and much more.
More Than a Blogger
But I’m not just a blogger. I’m a storyteller, a problem solver, a real-estate junkie, and a band kid turned Disney drumline aspirant. My life’s soundtrack is as diverse as the destinations I explore, with a beat that’s always moving towards the next adventure. From thrilling rides to the Festival of Fantasy Parade, my experiences are as varied as they are vibrant.
