About the Orlando Life
The Orlando Life is an independent local publication built around a simple belief that our city is defined by its people, not its attractions.
Founded in Orlando by a longtime community storyteller and connector, The Orlando Life exists to celebrate the individuals, businesses, ideas and experiences shaping life here.
Our focus is on the real Orlando. The creatives building culture, the entrepreneurs taking risks, the evolving neighborhoods and the experiences locals actually talk about.
Our editorial work spans food and drink, arts and culture, business, lifestyle, wellness, and community, always through a human lens.
We tell stories, highlight places with purpose, and create guides rooted in firsthand experience and local perspective.
All stories published by The Orlando Life are produced locally and informed by firsthand reporting, original photography, and direct relationships within the Orlando community.
At its core, The Orlando Life is about connection.
- Connection to people.
- Connection to opportunity.
- Connection to what makes Orlando feel like home.
