Till members share some input with you, I would recommend that you read the articles of the Living in Belize guide for expats. It contains information on nearly every aspects of Expatriation to Belize.

All the best

Thank y oh, Bhavna!

Check out Mayan Seaside in Consejo, Corozal District.  Great community of mostly younger retired people, on the Chetumal Bay.  We love it here!

Suggest that you rent at first, see what you like best!

@deborahkey19 thanks for the tip,  I'll check it out!

Belize is a wonderful place to live for some people. Most Belizeans are wondefrul friendly people. One of the key  reasons I bought a second home here in Placencia. 

However LONG TERM, it is not for most folks used to North American standards.

I first came to Belize in 2009 and vacationed for a few weeks at a time until I retired in 2015. In 2016 i bought my small 2nd home in The village. The wife and i spend about 6 months over 2-3 trips each year. We do not need a car, and we can walk anywhere in the Village in a short time. I do have a bike, and we take a taxi from time to time up the pensulila. That might not work in some areas. We occasionally rent a car for a few days if we decade to visit other areas of the country. 

As for meeting a Belizean woman, my observations of other expats, is once she moves in, you soon are the major supporter of an extended family....

Please come visit Belize, try different areas in different seasons, it is a very diverse country, But in my opinion, it is foolish to make any commitments long term without getting your sandal's in the sand in several areas first.
