Retire in Belize

Retire in Belize

by B.
(Texas, USA)

My husband and I are looking to retire in a little over a year. I have researched Belize, Corozal in particular for a possible place to live.

I want to connect with Expats that have moved over there.

My biggest concern I think is the crime that I see on the Belize news.

We have 2 children ages 8 and 10 that we adopted. We live in Texas by the way.

Can you help me connect with some Expats that live over there, I am especially interested in those that moved to Corozal.

Thanks.

Thanks for your e-mail.

Researching the country you are considering moving to and gathering as much information as you can is the most important thing to do.

I can recommend to you the Adapter Kit: Belize: A Traveler's Tools for Living Like a Local

This book was written by Lan Sluder who has been living in Belize for a long time. Lan offers in his book insight into Belize's history, culture and all the essentials - visas, banking, healthcare, transportation, etc'.

Talking with other expats who are living in Belize is a great idea. You can find them by searching the web for expats Belize blogs, and by joining yahoo groups which are dedicated to expats in Belize.

I did some searching and found 2 blogs written by expats in Belize:

http://thebelizegringo.com/

And a Yahoo group dedicated to expats living and working in Belize

Best of Luck
Sharon
