I was born and raised in Florida, and it will always be near and dear to me. From our natural wonders to our charming small towns, Florida is pretty close to paradise. I doubt I would ever move, but if I did, I know I would miss this place like crazy. Here are a few things that I think would make me homesick:

1. We're surrounded by some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

2. Florida has so much fascinating history. The oldest city in the country, St. Augustine, is right here in Florida.
