Hey there, I’m Mona 👋
I’m a travel and lifestyle creator based in Tampa, Florida, sharing a mix of elevated travel, everyday moments, and the little things that make life feel beautiful. I love capturing experiences in a way that feels real but still thoughtfully curated—whether that’s a luxury hotel stay, a quiet café find, or a spontaneous weekend escape.
When I’m not traveling or creating content, you’ll usually find me at home cooking something new, working on a craft project, or heading to the beach with my husband whenever I need a reset.
I also run a digital marketing agency, South Social Media, where I help brands bring their stories to life through content, strategy, and influencer partnerships.

Who am I?
Hi, I’m Mona! I’m the founder of South Social Media, a digital marketing agency helping brands grow through creative content and smart strategy. My path here wasn’t exactly a straight line — I went to Florida State University and earned my master’s in healthcare administration, but along the way I discovered my real passion: marketing and content creation. What started as a love for storytelling and connecting with people turned into a full-blown career, and I haven’t looked back since. When I’m not building brands, you’ll find me chasing the perfect Florida beach day and writing about my favorite local spots.
