Coming to belize by smitty091101
My wife and I are coming to Corozal at the end of January the 24th thru the 31st... We would love to get together with any and all expats to get a feel and get your impressions of Belize with the good and the bad. We are renting a house just north ...
smitty, There are many good people in and around the Corozal, Sartenja and Conseo areas! Take a deep breath. Keep your eyes and ears open. If I was in that area and not in Cayo, I would be there to greet you, meet you and show you around and ... Read More
What to bring, what to sell, what to store by CAtoBZ
My wife and I are planning a 6-12 month vacation to the San Ignacio area to ensure our move is a good fit and to get a feel for where we'd like to buy/build. The pressing question right now is what to bring, what to get rid of and what to store ...
Good Morning KarenJoe, I did not bring furniture. I brought sheets, towels, curtains, pots, pans, dishes, kitchen utensils, silverware, clothes, PC, DVDs, CDs and other personal items into the country after my arrival here. I had an inventory ... Read More

Deciding on Belize by skistrail
My home is in the Corozal area of Belize. I moved here over a year ago and really like it. (Some people would say Love, I reserve that for more important things) There are people that say, visit for a while and then decide. I don't do that. I ...
karenjoe, that is a beautiful area! The soil is so rich there! Just want to wish you and yours all the best. There are many in and around your area who will do what we can to help in the adjustment. Listen to Spiceman. He is a good, strong ... Read More

Moving to Belize by stevo66
I will be moving all of our stuff to Corozal from California in October and wonder if anyone knows of a company that they have used in the past? Got one quote and it was very high. Thank you.
Spiceman, we would much rather deal with the port at Big Creek, but we use the same Customs Broker. We have sent many things in through Big Creek, but have sometimes found out the waiting times are a little longer. But a nice bunch of people down ... Read More

For me to say definitely life is cheaper in Cayo, which I believe it to be so, it is argument material. I do not wish to argue with anyone, and just state what I know is and works for us, as well as many we know. There are two market days in ... Read More

Relocating in 12 months: nursing jobs? by kellyjean7988
I am a 30 year old Registered Nurse. My family and I (husband, 5 year old girl, 6 year old boy) are planning to move to Belize in about a year. As soon as possible, we'd like to become citizens. We plan on driving down in a truck with enough money ...
The Spiceman most likely has a whole lot more knowledge in this arena than my self. For me, I think, for me, I would contact the Ministry of Health. We need more good qualified Doctors and Nurses here in the country of Belize! Take it a step ... Read More
