Marisa Roman
Marisa Roman is a Florida writer who spent years crossing the country in a built-out Sprinter Van — surfing in San Juan Capistrano, sandboarding at White Sands, and discovering that storytelling and travel are one and the same. Now based in South Florida, she covers regional restaurants, attractions, haunted lore, and unique accommodations for Only In Your State, with a particular focus on the kind of off-the-beaten-path experiences most visitors never find. With extensive travel experience, especially in the Southeastern United States, Marisa knows exactly where to send you when the tourist trail runs out. Follow her work at muckrack.com/marisa-roman.
