Hi, I’m Alina, a Jacksonville, Florida based travel blogger with a deep love for exploring beautiful places and sharing stories that inspire others to see the world. I started Smile and Travel as a way to document my adventures, from dreamy beaches and scenic road trips to cultural gems and hidden local spots. Whether I’m exploring a new country or a charming corner of Florida, I believe travel should always be joyful, meaningful, and accessible. Through my blog, I share personal travel guides, honest tips, and destination ideas to help others plan unforgettable trips. If you’re someone who loves sunshine, good coffee, and chasing new experiences, you’re in the right place.
