I live here in Sarasota and I fell down a rabbit hole of looking at videos like yours about Sarasota. I can say, as someone that is very proud of our community, you did a great job of showing people what Sarasota is all about. This was the most accurate video to show a slice of Sarasota. I'd say the thing people don't really know about the area, which you touched on, is our food options. There is a great amount of restaurants, per capita, with a wide variety of styles.
If you get a chance head slightly north to Anna Maria Island! The beach is equally as beautiful as Siesta but I bit less people you get that small island vibe!!
Siesta Key was always my favorite beach and the reason I moved to Florida. The whole stretch from Anna Maria Island to Siesta Key is wonderful. So much to see and do.
@@ChristineLozada When I read somewhere that less than 5% were drone pilots I decided to get a drone and certified lol. Come to Sarasota anytime...I would say the winter months are the best. Not too cold, or warm.
There is something so romantic about a jetty. I love that statue! Never been kayaking in Mangroves - (Utah doesn't have too many of them, LOL) guess that means I need to get out to Florida again to do a big ole Kayaking trip! Orchids are so so pretty, just wish I could keep them alive, lol.
ooohhhhh now every time i'm droning a jetty i'm going to feel a little romantic with my drone! LOVE IT. the mangroves are amazing. they are also MANMADE. its interesting because they contribute to helping to keep the waters clear/fresh and therefore it helps with the mosquito problem. isn't that crazy? and yes, orchids are.. impossible.. to keep alive.
Love it! You’re magnetizing to watch! Been watching a lot of Florida videos lately and some as sooooo boring! This was great! Thank you and keep it up! 👍👍👍
aww THANK YOU this gives me warm fuzzies for reeeal. sarasota was a really easy one to film because.. dang. i LOVE this place. i'm already planning my return trip!
Great video! I'm looking to vacation there with my girlfriend and this video was the best in terms of showing a variety of things to do. Also like how you structured it out in the description! Nicely done! You have me excited to visit!
THIS COMMENT MAKES MY DAY! Thanks so much for watching my video and taking the time to leave a comment! It means a lot!! and safe travels to you and your girlfriend!
Hi! Great, fun, informative, and most importantly, inspirational video. I was looking to vacation in Key West but not happening after watching this vid. 😅
What a great video. I love the scenic views of Sarasota. I have never been there, but will try next time I plan a trip to Florida. I love the beaches. It may be hot there, but the beaches are awesome. I love it also because the water is warm unlike in California! Thanks for sharing your tips.
This is beautiful! I would love to visit here. So much beauty! Green juices by the way...hmm not sure about that ha! BTW, what camera do you film yourself with? Quality is awesome, can see it’s in 4K
HAHA. you close your eyes and drink the green juice. helps with bad hangovers.. like the one i have right now. HAHA. and yes it in 4K! its a very sophisticated camera actually. called ummm.. my little 'ol iphone.
@@ChristineLozada no way! That’s awesome. I’ve been using my IPhone as well for the talks. One day I hope to be filming with a crew (here is me dreaming) 🥳
@@Shebsthewanderer well, i'm working on leveling up. i have my vlog setup with a DSLR almost ready (i've been practicing with it... it's freakin HEAVY and i need bigger biceps). i'll be your film crew one day! woowooo!
Hi, C.L. First of all, awesome channel! Just discovered it recently and loving your vids. I'm heading to Sarasota in May. Which Green Zebra location did you feature in this video? Looks like they have a couple locations in Sarasota. Thanks!
After this video, I’d LOVE to visit Sarasota! From land to water. So many fun things to do AND eat. 😋😄 It’s great you always incorporate where to eat in your videos because after all those activities, yes, I get Hangry!
I prefer Hallandale Beach Florida beautiful beaches and restaurants and Gulf Stream Park Horse racing track, it’s the biggest in Florida, and Pegasus And Dragon Statue it’s the third biggest statue in the United States, Atlantic Village beautiful shopping mall and full with restaurants and nightlife, Big Easy Casino the second biggest casino in Florida, and your in the city that’s in between everything in south Florida, my favorite city in Florida perfect location.❤☀️
Ooo good question! I’m headed back there in a few weeks so I’ll be looking for this answer too! I’m hoping someone else in the comments might know the answer to this and can help out!
Hello Christine. Im a single 42 yr old who was thinking of relocating here. Is there a 30-40 year old demographic and night life here? Or is it mainly seniors ?
Oooo slow response from me sorry Walter! I thought there was a really great younger scene here. I spend a lot of time in Florida and relative to other places, it's definitely NOT a retirement scene there (but it's also not Miami).
Hi Mac! I think it depends on what you want to do… If you want to do some of the activities that I did in my video, you must have a car. But if you’re just trying to go to the beach, and stay near the beach, and eat near the beach… You can totally just book a hotel that is on the beach [or an Airbnb]. The downtown area is cool, and lots of things are near each other, but if you want to be getting to the keys and the beach then you’ll either need to get a car or use Uber or Lyft
Are there great girls like you there? If so I’ll be there as soon as I know. Do you have a great energy. You could sell ice in the north pole. Best of luck
Please do not be angry with me , but I could not concentrate on the beauty of the place ..., maybe next time only with audio without being in the picture itself ? Sorry , I am a man... ( now I look at it again...)
Aw man does it? I was just there for a week (TONS of videos dropping) and I had theeee best time! I think one of my faves was the cocktail competition held at the stadium. Have you been to Sarasota? I felt there was a solid young professionals crowd. Nothing that compares to when I lived in SF and NYC, but that's an entirely diff place!
@@ChristineLozada ive been to Marco island Miami and up the east coast to st Augustine. Never to sarasota. I’m from Orange County ca which is great but thinking of moving to Florida.

ohh this was on my radar because it looked like a really cool place to fly my drone. its on my radar now!!
@@ChristineLozada much better than dumb siesta key with fake sand
your energy is so lovely! thank you for this amazing video!
thanks katerina! this means a lot to me!!!
Siesta Key was always my favorite beach and the reason I moved to Florida. The whole stretch from Anna Maria Island to Siesta Key is wonderful. So much to see and do.
Yesss! Agreed!! I was so wow’d by how beautiful it is there!
How far is Ana Maria from Sarasota?
I used to live in Sarasota. Watching these videos bring back so many memories. What a great place.

Hi I am from Sarasota and I think you captured it really well. Plus always great to meet another woman that drones. Great job!
WOO thank you!! we need more female drone pilots out there! and i LOVE sarasota. I'm definitely going back in case you've got a rec for me!

@@katrinstake it's 6.7% as of 2019! it's why i have a second youtube channel... allll about drones!!!
@@ChristineLozada ah we are starting to gain ground...what is the name of your other channel?
@@katrinstake Its confusing because it's under the same name! it can be found under ruclips.net/user/christinelozada
I'm halfway through this video and literally just looked up "how to fly from RI to Sarasota,FL!" This vlog is DREAMY!! I need to visit ASAP!!

When I was little my family vacationed here a few times. I haven’t been there in like 25 years lol. Your video really makes me want to go back!
25 years?! wowza! i'm curious how it looked then vs. now!!
@@ChristineLozada I know, it’s crazy. I’m sure it’s completely different.
Also Pangea Alchemy Lab is a speakeasy full of mixologist definitely would recommend that also
ooooh right next to the gator club! (i watched the best reggae band perform there). pangea is now starred on my google maps, thank you!!
Hi! Great, fun, informative, and most importantly, inspirational video. I was looking to vacation in Key West but not happening after watching this vid. 😅

Looking forward to relocate there soon, thank you.

What are you thinking about someone moving from Philadelphia to Sarasota? It’s expensive for family 2 and 1child ? Please
I’m hoping someone else in the comments might know the answer to this and can help out!
What a well rounded trip! I enjoyed this vlog.
thank you so much for watching! and thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment!
How would I get fly from Tucson Arizona to Sarasota? Some one told me Tampa because it's cheaper but I'm still lost. Please help!
sarasota has its own (tiny) airport. the closest major would be tampa
Thank you very much for this video... kayaking with alligator 🐊 that's crazy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😉 😆 Thanks so much for watching my video and taking the time to leave a comment! It means a lot!!
Any clubs or live cover bands (not acoustic solo acts)?
