Welcome to Public Displays of Adventure!

Who are we?

We (Joffrey & Christine) are born and raised Floridians, with a passion to experience “All of the Things”.  Our story started when we both moved to Orlando for school at the University of Central Florida (GO KNIGHTS!) back in the early aughts (is that what we are still calling them?). And even though we went to the same school and even graduated on the same day in 2004, it took eight more years, adult kickball and a Cinco de Mayo block party to bring us together. Since then, we’ve graduated from dating to married, taken our talents to South Florida and spent our time rediscovering old favorites and creating new ones.

What is Public Displays of Adventure and why did we start it?

An ideal date night should be more than the typical dinner and a movie. Don’t get us wrong, we’re both fans of the sweet new theaters with recliners, full bars and restaurant quality food. But for a date night to be truly memorable, it should be unique in some way. We’ve realized that finding good unique experiences can be like finding a needle in a haystack: difficult to discover and even harder to research. In creating this blog, we wanted to provide information and inspiration, introducing new experiences, whether you’re traveling great distances our staying in your own backyard (not your actual backyard, because, well, we probably haven’t been there… plus, that would just be weird). Also, we love traveling to discover new experiences outside of our everyday environment and wanted a creative way to share the places we’ve been and the things we’ve done. 

Our goal is to share a catalog of our experiences and motivate you to create your own. Go out and do all of the things, and when you’re done, discover new things. Along the way, share your adventures with us. 

We hope that you enjoy our words and pictures, we hope that you are inspired to try new things, and we hope to be inspired by you along the way.  And if nobody reads this, well, at least we have a cool place to keep the photos of our date nights, day trips and weekend getaways.
