Entertainment & Luxury Insider

Kara Franker

Let me be your guide to all of the glamour that Florida has to offer - from lavish hotels to charity galas to celebrity sightings. When I'm not in Miami managing my law practice, I'm traveling the state in search of that perfect escape. As a former NFL cheerleader, I've got my finger on the pulse of the entertainment scene. Whether you're looking for a trendy hot spot, sophisticated art exhibition, catamaran cruise at sunset or a relaxing soak at a tranquil spa, I will help you discover your slice of Florida paradise.
