Moving to Florida state

[amir2011 0]

Happy greeting to every body,while I 'm reading the other topics about the new life in USA I was wondering about living in state such as florida,I 'm thinkig a lot about the form of life in this area while I hear a lot of informations from my friends that the florida state is beauriful place where the weather has a nice aspect on living there and the visitors comes overly on the whole year,so I decide immigration to this state in orlando city.

Generally speaking the life is not at all easy in USA though that people still dream about immigration (may be it's an inheritent phylosophy from our ancestors)and the majority of people think that they will find all what they want there, but the truth should be moderated in logical way,thus ,the life there needs efforts and working power on the purpose of attending the dreams of the future.

All in all,any people who have some knowledges about the life in orlando city will be welcomed to show me some guides of how to begin the new ife in such city.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Amir!

I've lived in Central Florida for 23 years and lived the last 5 years in Orlando. There are some nice areas in Orlando -it has a nice downtown (rather small) and a few nice parks and plenty of jobs available in the hospitality industry (hotels, restaurants, entertainment, theme parks etc). I actually did not like Orlando, but that's mostly because I love the mountains, so I've since moved to Colorado.

However, Orlando is an affordable place to live -but make sure you get a car, because walking or taking public transportation anywhere is nearly impossible! The weather IS very nice and Orlando is about a 45 minute drive from either coastline, so it's easy to get to the beaches

Sorry if I'm not much help -even though I lived there for 5 years (for college) I spent most of my time trying to get out of the city... if you're like Florida and are flexible, I would suggest places like Jacksonville or other "beach towns."

Hi!

I lived in Florida for 30 years. I was from South Florida but I went to Orlando all the time. There should be plenty of jobs because it is a tourist hub. The weather is really nice in Florida. I would say that it is probably what you are use to if you live by Casablanca. It is indeed very beautiful and you will not be bored. Blondie's post was correct- you need a car! Actually, alot of place in the USA require a car for getting around. Our public transportation system lacks in alot of areas. I love love love Florida. I am in Wisconsin currently for school but, I can't wait to get back. I think you will enjoy living in Orlando. I would imagine there are alot of international folks there. Try to find a Moroccan community living in Orlando or in that area before you go. You can research on the internet. I am not sure about Orlando but, in South Florida there is a big Arab community. I wouldn't be surprise if you find more people from Morocco or atleast North Africa in general than you thought.

Florida, in general, has a lot to do and see. I think you will really enjoy there. I know I love it. True, there are no mountains but than again, nothing compares to Atlas However, the beaches are really something! Here is a website for you: http://www.cityoforlando.net/ This is the city's website. It has alot of information about it. I don't know what you do for a living or what you are trained in...I think government jobs have the best benefits. You don't need to be a US citizen to get a job at the state level. It takes a while to get in but if you can get into one...they are good, in my opinion.

The pace is a little different in the USA. We tend to be focused on time alot. This is something my husband, who is Moroccan, have difficulty adjusting to. Alot of Americans and American institutions get irritated if someone isn't punctual. I don't mean to imply that all Moroccans or people who aren't American don't know how to be punctual but, alot of my friends here in the USA who are Moroccans say that this was the most difficult adjustment. You will adjust too if you are not use to this...I just thought I would tell you rather than you find out when you get here. This isn't just in Orlando but everywhere in the USA. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Thanks Blondie-CO and Silverberry1331 for yours prescious informations about orlando city.

substancially ,the floride is a nice place of numerous communities who share the same sytem of living and working in a state that recognizes the value of consuming the time in rational way,and this is the ethic of developing community such as USA.

While others states has an economical basis of IT company and industry,orlando city has an economic based on the hotellery and parks of entertainmemnt within the restaurant services and hospitality.

For the first step of living in the floride ,I think that driver permit is essential element of starting the life there.

I 'm extremly excited to begin this experience though I don't have many friends who live there also I haven't a good wife who can live with me this experience but I 'm sure that I will find her in the near future.

Accordingly,any information or guide of how begin my life in orlando ,It will be a nice aide for me.

Best regards,
