Florida Air Museum FAIL and we head to Tarpon Springs! VLOG #1

Part 2 of my Tarpon Springs trip is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_NzJvDObEc

This trip didn't start out that hot but turned into a nice first voyage for this brand new channel. We stopped at the Florida Air Museum in #Lakeland, expecting a warm welcome. Well, we DID get a warm welcome but, unfortunately, we also were greeted with a closed #museum. FAIL! Don't worry, though: we hit it up later in the week and you'll get that video soon!

I had never been to Tarpon Springs but was curious about its status as the "#sponge capital of the world." Well, it lived up to its name. While there, I walked down the Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks, taking in the sights and meeting some of the local people. Shout out to the folks at The Sponge Factory, Antonia's, Mama's Greek Cuisine and Wine at the Docks!

In this video, I tour a sponge store and meet with the joint's owner, who talks about the tourists who visit. I also buy a Greek-language rock CD at Antonia's, a Greek goods store. 

This channel does not yet have a website but be on the lookout for that as I take a lot of pictures when I #travel. 

My name is Marco Santana. I'm a former journalist who moved to Central Florida in 2014. Ever since, I've enjoyed experiencing everything there is to see and do here. This channel is both an effort to document those experiences and a way to do the little I can to help provide some businesses with exposure as they try to return from the pandemic. 

I record primarily with the DJI Pocket 2, which I highly recommend to any travel vlogger, especially those just starting out. You can buy it and help this channel here: https://amzn.to/3bb7zhO

I also have this microphone that adds on to the Pocket 2: https://amzn.to/3puZ1HP
