“The Florida Keys are a real mixture of the Caribbean and of the United States…actually, I’m doing them a disservice saying that. The Keys definitely have their own distinct personality.”

In today’s episode we’re heading down to the Florida Keys, the southernmost destination in the US. This charming archipelago of islands, sprawling from the southern tip of Florida’s peninsula, are home to a vibrant array of wildlife and abundant natural attractions, from pristine coral reefs to luscious mangrove forests. They’re also chock full of rich cultural history, artistic heritage, and culinary traditions…be on the lookout for one of the most unique uses of a Key Lime imaginable.

To explore the islands, host Aaron Millar interviews Wanderlust’s own founding editor Lyn Hughes about her recent visit there. The episode also features clips from the new podcast, The Florida Keys Traveler, which was recorded on location and which immerses listeners in the sounds and voices of the Keys.
