    I love the growth Orlando offers. I originally moved here from North Carolina, like many in central Florida, I had relocated for change and opportunity. I have share my entire adulthood with the city. So much good has some to me throughout the years, I owe my growth to myself for trying but mainly to the area for having these opportunities and not being afraid to take on someone inexperienced as I once was. After a long day of work you have many theme parks where I have overcome my
    fear of heights. I did that at Disney which is a stunning park, almost feels like it’s own little city, even equipped with its own “downtown”. There is an abundance of activities and you are discounted for being a resident! Also makes for fun jobs too, however cost of living is pricey and many people have roommates to get by.

    Great People too meet! There are always great opportunities here and those opportunities will continue increasing due to the great community we have here! We support one another and consider other people into our own lives like they are a part of our family. Best part is that you'll always find incredibly nice, talented, sensational people living and working here! It is definitely a place to come and visit and who knows you might end up living here!
    As a resident of Orlando, "the Milk District" to be more specific, I am surrounded by a never ending list of things to do. Orlando has something for everyone with the exception of the beach but even that is an hour drive away in Cocoa Beach. This city has museums, art festivals, music festivals, various culture festivals, and multiple major theme parks. If you don't want to spend money, there are plenty of parks, lakes, and bike trails all around the city. I am from West Palm Beach and have been in Orlando for 13 years. It is an amazing city and I wont be leaving anytime soon!
