Where Oh Where To Move

8 years ago

My wife and I are planning on moving to Belize sometime next year. We are planning a 3 week vacation in January to check out possible places to move to. We have be looking and 2 places Caye Caulker and Ambergris but are open to other places. We are both planning on working and will have a little money to ease into life for the first month or two so finding a job right away will not be as necessary as finding the right place and community to live in.

We like CC and Ambergris because we feel that jobs will be easier to come by plus in the future if things go well i might be interested in opening a little food place and we feel that these places will have more tourists. Plus we like being close to the dive sites. What are your thoughts on working on CC and Ambergis? Honestly I like the more laid back lifestyle that everyone talks about on CC but feel that the money and jobs might be better on Ambergis.
Also I have been hearing about Corozal just wondering if I should spend 1.5 weeks in CC and 1.5 weeks in Ambergis or look and spending a week in CC a week in Ambergis and a week somewhere else like Corozal. Thank you for any help and advice you might have for us.
