If you enjoy places where the streets are dirt or sand, and wood-framed houses in brightly painted Caribbean colors standing on stilts, where the weather is tropical, the sun is hot, and the water is warm and clear - well, then you’ll probably like Belize.This is the kind of place where you can leave your watch at home, let your hair grow out, catch a fish or two, spend your afternoon in a hammock reading a book, enjoy drinking the local rum or beer, and call that a good day’s work. In other words, you stop worrying about what to do. In Belize they, “Go slow.” This could be a negative for you if you are use to a fast pace and want to stay in high gear wherever you go. However, if you’re ready for a more laid back life or wish to spend a few weeks in Belize to get away from the hustle and bustle of back home, this is a great place for your retreat to relaxation.

Living here is not for everyone, especially those who will miss all the luxuries of the big city including daily newspapers, museums and symphony concerts. Some of the everyday items you take for granted back home may not be available at the local grocery store in Belize. You may have to bring it with you when you come to Belize if you just can’t live without it.
