To Tampa with beauty

Actress Sanjjanaa lets us in on her travel shenanigans at Tampa, the historic Ybor City neighbourhood, where she checked-in a month ago.

1 Tampa is a must-visit for the wild at heart. I ticked it off the bucket list, and went sky diving — one of the must-do’s of the place. The high altitude view of the gardens, amusement-theme parks and animal viewing areas were truly breathtaking, and something worth experiencing. I also wanted to jump off a plane, which I did! 

2 Florida doesn’t sleep. Nor does Tampa. It’s a shopper’s paradise, indeed. But, since I’m not a flea market person, I chose to take a stroll in the malls, which offered enviable buys. I stocked up on a lot of daytime wear. The nights were reserved for shopping, post which I hit a casino and tried Blackjack. There’s a buzzing vibe, and you need to catch it! 

3 The climate is great, and probably ideal for those who love a bit of sunshine. Get experimental with your attire, and sport anything— from those jump suits to sheath dresses. 

4 Florida has some really good cheese pizzas. So, I made sure to try out the signature spinach and broccoli cheese burst pizza. The mushrooms delicacies in Tampa are to die for. The food quality is premium, and it’s best experienced when you eat out at the local cafes and eateries. 

5 Travel Tip: Always wear a bodysuit underneath your attire. This is where you need to safely tuck in your wallet and passport. This hack will come in handy as a lot of unfortunate incidents of robbing have been reported in the locality.
