“If the world had any ends,
[Belize] would certainly be one of them. It is not on the way from
anywhere to anywhere else. It has no strategic value. It is all but
uninhabited.” -
|
|
- - Aldous
Huxley
|
| Huxley would be surprised by
today’s world. If he were suddenly transported here tomorrow,
he might be on his way to Belize the day after. Perhaps for the very
reasons he stated but with a different value placed on them. Belize is
terrific! Belize is like no where else in the entire world and there is
nothing with which to compare it. It is as Huxley called it, exactly
and to the letter. Ah, but what he said yesterday sounds so great
today. |
| Belize is everything Costa Rica
is purported to be. For people looking for a young unspoiled nation,
Belize has to be one of the choicest expatriate destinations imaginable.
The language is English. The people are friendly. The government
is an absolute anomaly for Central America. It is a true democracy,
operating under the parliamentary system it adopted from Great Britain
(which until 1981 upheld Belize in colonial status.) There is absolute
freedom of the press. Little, if any serious corruption. An
intelligent attitude towards business and an absolutely astounding respect
for ecology. It is in our opinion a world leader in its efforts to
create a balance between tourism and sound principals of ecology.
There are few countries towards whom we feel a greater degree of respect.
Its tiny population is numerically less than many of the world’s cities.
( Note that while the country of El Salvador consists of approximately
the same land area as Belize, El Salvador contains thirty times as many
people; - - with El Salvado having an overall population of almost six
million people, compared with Belize’s 200,000. ) Yet despite its
small population Belize manages to attract the worlds attention for its
modern attitudes, stable government and respectful treatment of its indigenous
peoples. >>

| A Tale of Two Low-Cost Retirement
Towns - A
Tale of Two Low-Cost Retirement Towns - With millions of
Americans and Canadian baby boomers just a bank CD or two away from retirement,
the race to find low-cost retirement destinations is off and running. That’s
particularly true in Mexico and Central America, where many prospective
expat gringos see the potential of stretching their dollars and living
better for less than is possible back home, yet being within two to four
hours by jet from their old home towns. By Lan Sluder |
| Belize one of the world’s top
retirement havens - Belize
one of the world’s top retirement havens - From its Caribbean shores
to its jungle interior, Belize has great natural beauty—blue water, deserted
beaches, and inland retreats where you can explore Mayan ruins, tall waterfalls,
rainforests, and river. Bird watching in Belize’s interior is also a treat;
you’ll be able to spot parrots, toucans, flycatchers, and herons in their
natural habitat or visit a jaguar preserve where you can venture into the
jungle in search of the elusive cats. It’s no wonder Belize’s tourism industry
is booming. If recent figures are any indication; this tiny tropical paradise
could be on its way to becoming the next hot destination for explorers,
expatretirees, and investors. Between 2003 and 2004, cruise visits to this
country increased by a full 55.1%—as opposed to just 13.1%, for example,
for the same period in the Bahamas. By Kathleen Peddicord |

In Ol' Belize - Expat Explorations and Back Country Research -
"At our table, Wild Bill told me his story: He arrived in Placencia, he
told me, a year earlier after driving around the U.S. in a motor home.
On the word of two ladies he met in Colorado and his subsequent research,
he began to believe that there was a village in Central America called
Placencia, which had everything he was looking for: avorable money exchange,
fresh food, great diving, and a laid-back lifestyle, complete with thatched
huts and wild animals." - More intrepid research from Robin Sparks as she
searches the world in pursuit of a perfect home. |

and Golf Carts - All
Over Belize in Boats, Planes, and Golf Carts - Keith and
Erin are travellers who are taking a couple of years to see the world.
This is the first of many articles that will chronical a their journey
from beginning to end. In Belize, they discovered a new and different way
to travel. Keith writes, "As Americans, we are all about cars. Everyone
has one, sometimes two or three, and we use them to go anywhere, even it's
just around the corner to get a cup of coffee. The same cannot be said
for the country of Belize." In the ten days they spent in Belize, they
succeeded in shedding their all-American dependency on the automobile by
relying on just about every other kind of transportation imaginable. |

New Residency Program - Some Say It's The Best In The World!
- You can set up an office in Belize and run your business from there,
(taking advantage of the low overhead costs , and tax free status we might
add ) and still qualify for this program, as long as none of the money
your company earns comes from a source within Belize. In this age of e-commerce
and telecommuting , this scenario could work for a vast number of people.

- By Robins Sparks - Female,
In Search Of A Country - By Robins Sparks - Find a country
to live in - In Placencia, Belize, unlike Paris, I settled in for a nap
every afternoon in an audio space saturated with the melodious songs of
birds. On the other hand, the sand flies in my bed kept me twitching and
slapping, preventing me from napping as assuredly as the landscapers in
the Paris garden below. ~ The first in a series of articles by Robin Sparks.

and shares the individual tales of escape artists from Belize to Paris,
to China and the Middle East, down to South America and beyond. You won't

Kit: Belize ~ Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Living, Retiring
& Investing In Belize ~ by Lan Sluder - Belize is a favorite
of those seeking a calmer lifestyle in close proximity to the wonders of
nature. It's a place where Big Brother isn't looking over your shoulder
and you can set your own building codes or own a flock of chickens. It's
a place where you can spend the day fishing without trying to keep up with
the Jones's. It's also become one of the hottest expatriate destinations
in Latin America. In a world that cries out for 'how to' books, a 'how
to' book on moving to Belize was sorely needed. That need was recently
met by Lan Sluder, with the publication of his Adapter Kit: Belize from
Avalon Travel Publishing. |

to November) While many head to tropical escapes during the winter, I highly
recommend that you summer in Belize. |
