Moving is never easy. Do it without knowing anyone in the new city, even less. However, for the Cuban creator known as «La Mami Azul», leaving Miami behind and starting in Tampa was a decision that, although accelerated, gave a positive turn to her life. Its history, told with honesty and practical sense, has become a useful guide for those looking for new horizons in Florida.

A distance search, over time against

Without family or friends in Tampa, the influencer chose to look for apartment from Miami. He used digital tools such as Zillow and Realtor.com, and with the remote help of a friend of real estate agent, he coordinated five visits the same day. He only had a few hours to travel, decide and sign, because he had to return to his work the next day.

It was not ideal, but it worked. The experience left it with a clear recommendation: Organize yourself with a list of real needs and prepare your questions before visiting.

For those who work remote or seek to get out of the noise without leaving Florida, Tampa can be an intelligent option. In addition, Miami’s high cost of living makes many Latinos seek new horizons above in the peninsula.

The Cuban community, present although different

Tampa does not have the great concentration of Cubans that characterizes Miami, but offers cultural and meeting spaces such as the historic Cuban circle or events where those who share roots meet. Gradually, new migrants are forming networks in this city that was once one of the first settlements of Cubans in the US.
