Hi! I’m Josie Maida, and I’m so glad you’re here! My website is my very own online space where I can share all I’m passionate about in one place. If we haven’t met before, you should know that I’m the type who always likes to stay busy. I’ve never liked the word no, so when I want something, I go after it.

I’m big-time passionate about everything I do. I know I only have so many hours in a day, and so many years in this lifetime – so if I’m going to do something, I’m going to make it fun!

I own two small businesses and love nothing more than theme park days with my besties and trips around the globe with my s/o, René, and a good meal with anyone who wants to share stories and try something new.

What brought you here?

I like to stay busy – so I wear a lot of hats. I’m the owner of Spinning Carousel Company, a pixie-dusted jewelry brand, and Maida Media, a boutique public relations agency. I also am a host on the Carousel Project, a Disney and theme park history podcast. As a freelance writer, I’ve had bylines at Yahoo Life, Yahoo Entertainment, Orlando Magazine, and more – but you can find my published works collected here on my website! I also create content online as me – Josie Maida, mainly on TikTok, Instagram, and now, YouTube, where I share my foodie and travel adventures with the world!

Whatever brought you to my neck of the woods – I’m thrilled. And invite you to stay a while! Whether you love to eat together while you watch my videos online, or if you’re looking for ways to work together, thank you for being here with me! I’m truly so thankful!

If you’d like to learn more about me, feel free to check out my about me page, or you can contact me and we can connect!
