From Apple To Oranges
This Podcast is about the New Yorkers that now live in Florida. Real stories, real people, real moments happening both in New York and Florida.
Besitos to you, I'm your host Lizzette Perez. I moved to Florida as a teen and at first hated Florida. I wanted to move back but I started a career in Radio soon after high school and slowly fell in love with Orlando which is New Yorks 6th Borough!
I hope you enjoy this podcast! Subscribe and tell me why you left New York for Florida! I would love to hear your story on the show one day!
