Get ready…Yogi Aaron is coming to Miami! As a former New York resident for many years, I always appreciate taking a little break from Blue Osa and the Costa Rican jungle for a change of pace. Miami is exciting, stimulating, dangerously fun and I am ready to take it by storm! Every time I’ve visited Miami…
