Talk to someone who calls themselves a Floridian, and you’ll find out Floridian doesn’t equal a “native”, also known as someone born and raised in Florida. In fact, I’m one of the few native Floridians I know, besides my children. My husband and family are all from New Jersey. I live in a community where people are pouring in from New Jersey and New York, and you can find authentic New York pizza and Italian Ice. Chances are, if you ask a Floridian where they are from, you won’t hear “Florida” as the answer.

Where are you from? What prompted your move to Florida?
