New Here (6/2021)

3 years ago
I'm a widower planning to move to Belize before the end of 2021. I have been retired for some time, but am very fit and have the illusion of being healthy. I am leaning to a Placencia location. Have been there once and will soon visit again, along with exploring other options.

I have read everything possible about Belize including the pros and cons. Would love to have some insight though from folks who actually live there.

Specifically about moving costs (typical 2 bdrm 2 bath home here with a garage.} I will leave much behind. But would love to have an idea regarding a ball park price. And how to go about the move.

Also, what are your thoughts about moving my car? How expensive might that be?

And of course am very interested in health insurance. Is Allizance the best? Or how about Caricom?

Should I be interested in a Transfer Wise account?

Any info at all you can provide would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Donovan --- from Oregon now living in Green Valley Arizona.
