Unexpected Discoveries: A New Yorker's Journey to Florida

A New Yorker who moved to Florida after 20 years shares surprising observations about living in the Sunshine State. The author was amazed by the size and offerings of Buc-ee's, a convenience store chain, and the abundance of lizards in their apartment complex. The humidity and heat in Orlando had an unexpected impact on their hair, causing frizz and texture changes. Adjusting to the distance between places was also a challenge, as everything felt farther apart compared to the walkable convenience of NYC. Additionally, relying on rideshare services for transportation became costly without the option to work from home.
