Meet Visit Jax Insider: Kaitlyn Elizabeth

I’m Kaitlyn :) I was born & raised in the Appalachian mountains. Now, Jacksonville is where I call home with my dog, Reuben! The warmer weather brought me here, but community keeps me here.

Immediately after relocating to Jax, I began to explore. So much so that my new, local friends started calling me for day-trip, restaurant, and brewery recommendations! Naturally, this led to a passion of sharing my journeys & discoveries on social media. I absolutely love how diverse & inclusive Jax is. The city allows me to embrace my love for adventure by day and my taste for craft cider by night. It’s a toss up on whether you’ll catch me sweating at hot yoga, surfing the beaches, rollerblading downtown, or rockin’ out at a concert, but one thing is for certain — I’d love to connect with you!

1. What do you love most about Jacksonville?

I love how diverse the city is and how many activities there are to try! Surfing the Beaches. Strolling & cafe sippin’ in San Marco. Shopping the St. John’s Town Center. Browsing the Riverside Arts Market. Exploring concert venues and rooftops Downtown. I wouldn’t dare say, “There’s nothing to do!”

2. What is one thing you tell a visitor that they must see/do when in Jax

Explore like a local by checking out the smaller neighborhoods such as Murray Hill, 5 Points, & San Marco! There are so many budget-friendly community gatherings in the local scene that will bring out the #duval in you! Silent Disco, Magical Mystery Mic, Songwriters Spotlight, & ASL Meetup are a few of my favorites.

3. Where is your favorite local spot to eat?

Anyone who has spent time in Jax knows how difficult this question can be! But, it’s the steak taco + Swap Shop margarita at Iguana on Park for me!

See you on the #jaxaletrail! (Please sip responsibly)
