Orlando, Florida is located in the southeastern United States, known worldwide for its theme parks, warm climate, and well-planned urban layout. While most visitors come for places like Disney World and Universal Studios, the city itself has a calm and organized atmosphere, with wide roads, low-rise shopping centers, and a suburban feel that makes it stand out from many other major American cities.

I stopped in Orlando as a layover while traveling from Rio de Janeiro to New York, and I ended up staying for a night at an Airbnb villa hosted by a local. The harmony and organization of the city really caught my attention—everything felt spacious, clean, and well-maintained.

I spent some time shopping and exploring malls, and even those were low-rise buildings, which made the city feel open and breathable compared to the towering structures of bigger metropolitan areas. The urban planning and infrastructure were impressive, giving me the feeling that life here would be quite comfortable.

Maybe in the future, if the opportunity arises, I could see myself spending more time in this area—who knows?
