Thank you Will! I considered Belize, but retired in Panamá last year instead. What I appreciated was the relevance of your video to my own decision as well. In terms of “adapting to the culture” and “avoiding the negativity” of the expats, these two go hand in hand I think. Why move to a foreign country only to hang out with other expats? That makes no sense to me. One of my native Panamanian friends said it best, “they come here to bitch about the United States, and six months later, they’re bitching about Panama too!” Some people just carry that negative energy with them wherever they go!

Let me educate everyone about beautiful believe. In the video it only shows Spanish looking belizeans. The culture is mixed with beautiful dark people who are belizean. Belize is a beautiful place depending on where you go. They have San Pedro Belize look up different locations. When you are going to a whole different place like Belize just go for yourself and enjoy everyone and he his right don’t be disrespectful don’t bring that American attitude to and a good vibe island. And have you ever thought because you are impatient being in Belize is teaching you patience. Patience will always save you. Many people are investing in Belize. I have many family out there that owns plenty of properties and land and building out there. Go to Belize it’s worth it! ❤

As an expat and real estate agent of 7 years in belize, this is very well said.

I use to teach Peace Corps volunteers ( 3 months intensive language & cross cultural training ) to help with adjustment in a foreign country. You are essentially doing that in the video & hope your message reaches the right folks . It goes without saying for any traveler regardless of your origin ….. try to adapt/ relax/ learn/ embrace the changes you face . It takes patience but once you understand the situation you will be fine.

For retirement specifically, it is quite difficult to believe that most people can live their whole lives in one country and then adapt well to a different culture, climate, etc. I would never consider moving permanently to another country without an extended period of residency on a visa, say 6-12 months. The only way to know what it’s going to be like to live there is to live there.

we did it. no big deal

Just stumbled across your video. I don't know how. I vacationed on the island of Abergris Cay back in the 90's. Stayed in a grass-thatched hut that was actually built over the water. It's where I developed my desire to scuba dive. I went snorkeling and down below saw a scuba group skimming the bottom. After that I knew I was going to have to do it myself. Anyway, I ate a lot of conch dishes while there and loved the place! Even though I am considerably older now, I'm sure I'd still love it. Before Ambergris Cay, we spent time on the mainland at a jungle resort. We traveled by boat through a mangrove swamp and emerged on a very large body of water. We put the boat ashore at a location where we walked on a path through the jungle while monkeys in overhead branches scream at us. I seem to remember them throwing . . . well, something. Fortunately they didn't have good aim. At the end of the path was large mayan? / aztec? pyramid, which of course we climbed. (Probably couldn't do that now.) Anyway, Belize was one of my most unforgettable vacations. Now that you've brought all those memories back, maybe I'll see you there soon! :-)

No mention of humidity nor mosquitoes. Surely a significant factor for most peoples' comfort?

I am a Native Hawaiian born and raised in Hawaii and I moved to Mexico just a little over a year ago. Even though Hawaii is Governed by the United States, we have our own culture, heritage and language. With that said, I did not have major culture shock when I moved to Mexico which made my transition must easier. The Hawaiian culture is very similar to the Mexican Culture. Anyway, your video is spot on and helpful for those moving from Canada and the U.S. Continent.

Agree with you on the patience aspect. I do feel like their is a fine line between patience and someone just lacking responsibility. After living in Belize I have found it easy to gently remind folks a few times without ever getting angry and then asking them, especially for bigger projects, “do you have a date in mind that we could both agree on when this could be done?” Then at least you can hold builders etc responsible, since sometimes you’ll just be waiting forever thinking you’re being patient when in fact they just forgot about you. Regarding patience in food ordering and stuff like that, totally agree. Just relax you’ll get it. Sometimes it’s also about who you know. Want a passport quickly? Better know someone.

Good advice. Take a least a one week vacation there to know the thrill of having someone break in to your condo at about 1am to rifle through all the stuff you aren't sleeping with. I know, it's a cultural understanding thing. The person that squeezed in through the window knew where the "hidden" safe over the kitchen sink was because they opened that right up. Thankfully, I wasn't dumb enough to put anything in there. All important and expensive stuff was in bed with me. Belize tourist tip: Beach towels and souvenirs (even if you over paid for them), those, you don't have to sleep with. The burglar isn't interested in those and will just set them aside. Thankfully, we didn't have anything stolen. The condo company just had to deal with fixing the window. Formed my own conclusion. I would go back but there is no way I would relocate there.

Hey Will, lets remind potential buyers, the Belize dollar has historically demonstrated relative stability compared to most of the Caribbean, Central America and South America, which has experienced more volatility. This stability can provide confidence and predictability for both buyers and sellers. If you're selling real estate in Belize and receiving payment in Belize dollars, the favorable exchange rates between the Belize dollar and other currencies can potentially attract international buyers. This can lead to increased demand and potentially higher selling prices.

Good video. He mentioned the good and not so good. Here's the bad and the ugly. The bad is the roads. The excuse you will hear is, "they're dirt". Well, dirt roads in other places are smooth, plus vehicles have supension. The problem is the potholes combined with golf carts with no suspension! This will absolutely challenge you, and might deter you from driving at all- it did me. Many long-timers had back problems?? Sure you can buy a 25K recreational 4 wheeler, but then the salt eats it up 🤷🏻‍♂️ The ugly is Sargasso Grass. It gets worse and longer every year. So bad on the ocean side I moved to the Lagoon side. Then they started dumping it over there and there was no escape. I smelled it in my sleep. You start thinking I'll just leave for two months. The icing on the ugly is the monthly immigration fee. It's double now-$100. US, which to me is ridiculously high and says, they really don't want you there. Sure get your residence to get around that. Lastly is the so called Secret Beach. It's a long drive out there on those golf carts and roads I mentioned earlier. And once there, it's a little over hyped and over priced. Sure, tables out in shallow water is fun, for a visit. Drive that that road twice a week and you'll be done- I was. All your stores are in town. Did I mention Secret Beach is all off-grid? Solar, catch water/tanks, etc, which I actually liked. You might not, and definitely should be on that list. If I went back, would consider the mainland instead. ✌🏼😎

People that want to move to places like Belize and the Caribbean do not really want to move to these places. They think they are paradises because they have been marketed as paradise locations. What people really want is a nice secluded homestead away from other people in their home country. For example if you are from Canada what you really want is one of those posh tiny homes away from city where you can still get all of the conveniences that you are accustomed to. This is why when these people move to Belize and the Caribbean they move right back in 1 to 2 years. It takes a person with a certain personality to enjoy places like the Caribbean, Belize, and Costa Rica and most of those people do not reside in America, and Canada.

Thank you for watching, Wendy!

I have been there a couple times. The place I stayed in was truly paradise. I understand it's suspended reality. I did not wander around Amberghris so I have no idea what the life, culture, and people are really like. I have wondered about it as it seems absolutely incredible from a very privileged visitor standpoint. Again, understanding that is not the "reality" of life on Amberghris, but wow is it beautiful. Everyone regardless of rich or poor lives in paradise there.

Appreciate the comment and agree with your points! End of the day everything is what you make it

Will, how do folks over 60 fit into the picture? Presumably we don't have the luxury of living far from infrastructure and conveniences, especially medical services, which would limit us to Belize City, even if we were to only be in Belize during the cooler months. Have you done any videos about this? And is the weather from April to October like living in a sauna? Plus, as I understand it, the QRP is not accessible unless you have an actual pension, so could you discuss the alternatives even for people of independent means? Thanks!

You do not have to limit yourself to Belize City, which is the least desirable location in Belize to live for expats. San Pedro/Ambergris Caye, Corozal (close to Mexico i.e. advanced healthcare), Placencia (hotter and more humid) and San Ignacio are great places to live. All have a large expat population. Corozal is in northern Belize and is drier than the other locations. The farther up and into the mountains you get, the cooler it is and less mosquitoes (I hear, but haven't been yet). If you have ever been to Florida or the interior of Georgia, that's just a hint of how hot and humid it can get in the summer months. The islands are sunny, hot and humid, but you do have a constant breeze which helps keep mosquitoes away. You really need to visit several places here before you decide. We have land on the Corozal Bay near Sarteneja, boat access only for now. We're almost 60 and hope we can move and build while we're still mobile and healthy. Looking at a 4-5 year window.

@@samsmom1491 I was amazed that the government charges every tourist $100 a month to be in the country. Plus the QRP is not available to anyone of independent means unless they have an actual government or private monthly pension. Neither makes any sense. Corozal looks very nice, but I'd. probably die from boredom before the lack of medical services!!

@@dovygoodguy1296 San Pedro/Ambergris Caye is improving day-by-day and a medical center is either being built or has been built, as well as cars being allowed. I've only been there twice as I prefer the slower pace of Caye Caulker, where golf carts, bicycles and feet are the things to get you around.

It has an extremely high level of violent crimes.

My spouse will never move out of the US. I've friends who live 6 mos in Honduras and 6 mos in US - he married a Honduran senorita 16 years ago. I've many friends from MX too and would really enjoy that part of the world. Maybe someday.

Visited twice just before retiring. Loved it. Could have gladly retired there. But with grandchildren life changed. Too distant for regular visits on our income or the kids. If you can make it work it is paradise. Full stop.

As small as Belize is, the regions there are very different. Ambergris is not Cayo is not Placencia is( fortunately) not Belize city. Adjustments need to be made depending on which edge you might choose to settle.

Great point I completely agree

Cruising on my sailboat, I have lived from months to years in 18 different countries. Where ever ex-pats go, especially Americans, we are experts at driving prices up. And up. And so does crime. Don’t believe me. go to the American Virgins and then the British Virgins. Stay a good while in each and see the difference. I have watched towns like San Carlos, Mexico, on the Sea of Cortez go from a nice little tourist town to an expensive, over prices Gringoville. Same with Cabe san Lucas even worse and yeah, lots of rising crime too. Areas on the Dominican Republic same way. No one can drive up prices and crime like us Americans. One of the biggest issues is when we start buying and running businesses. Bad for the local economy and primarily just benefits the business owner. We don’t just want to live there and enjoy it, we want to colonize it. Good bye paradise.
