Living the Flip Flop Dream

The #flipfloplife. It’s the lifestyle that my husband, Ramon, was seeking when he moved to Florida from Connecticut in 2010. After growing up in the Northeast and going to college at Quinnipiac University, he was ready for salty air and sand between his toes. He packed his things and came to Clearwater to teach high school English. 

I was born and raised in the #flipfloplife. I grew up in Florida Keys so salt air, sunshine and sand between my toes is a part of my soul. I went to college at UCF in Orlando and eventually made my way over to St. Petersburg to teach. In 2016, our paths crossed and within two years, we had our son, William  

We share a love of the great outdoors. In 2017, we bought our first camper to explore more of Florida, a Forest River RPod. She was 18’ and all we needed for us and our two dogs, Sox and Savannah. 



We traveled all of  Florida in OURPod (her name!)-from Grayton Beach State Park in the panhandle to Fiesta Key RV park in the Florida Keys. After we had William, we took him to Ft DeSoto for his first trip at 3 months old, and learned very quickly that it was time for more space!


Meet Optimus Prime, our Primetime Tracer.


She has been ours for the past two years. We have watched our son go from scooting across her floors to running back and forth at 5:00am. In March of 2020, we opened the windows and watched the sunrise before we went into quarantine. But that time in quarantine got us thinking, how could we share this experience with others who wanted to see more of Florida, but still have those creature comforts of home. In the midst of a pandemic, we planned our Flip Flop Dreams! In December 2020, we bought our first rental camper- The “OG” Original Glamper! 


After a couple weeks of cleaning and minor renovations , she is finally ready for rentals! I will post the link below. In addition to sharing the experience of camping with others, I will be sharing my own experiences and tips on this blog in hopes that others will have a smooth experience with camping- whether it be finding a site, camping with kids, or buying a camper. Enjoy and Happy Glamping!
