Margate, FL asked in Small Claims for Florida

Q: Can i sue an ex for money I sent through cashapp as payment for a planned trip that never happened?

My ex invited me on a trip to costa rica and said we were going to split the resort and hotel cost so I sent my half and that very same week she was having car issues and called to borrow money for her car and said she would pay it back. We had a falling out the week after and now she wont send me back the money for the trip and for getting her car fixed. She blocked me and refuses to pay me back. Can i sue her in small claims? Also it happened in PA but i recently moved to FL but can i still sue her if its been a few months? I still want my money back but don’t know how to get it bc cashapp wont let me get a refund
