Moving to Belize in Spring 2017

8 years ago
First, thank you all for having this forum. It really is a great source of information and advice. Second, I love Belize! We went to Belize in May, and stayed in Hopkins, as well as Belize City. I cannot stop thinking about our stay. So, we have decided to do what so many have done, sell or give away everything, get straight with our creditors, and drive down to stay. Are there local property agents who can help us find a low cost rental? We don't need A/C, or a lot of amenities. Running water, a suicide shower, wi fi and a kitchen area - rudimentary, no dishwasher, etc. We used our leftovers to feed chickens, ducks and dogs in the village. We gave all our vacation clothes, mosquito nets, shoes away when we left. So, we are just looking for the basics. We just loved Belize and the warmth of the people of Hopkins that I cried when we left. But, I digress, we will be living on less than $1000 US a month at first until I find online work. But, we need a place to stay. Preferably near Hopkins. We are driving down. And, hey, if it works out, let us know if we can bring you anything! Blessings to all. ~Catherine in the USA
