Beginning a life in Belize

4 years ago
Hello there, I’ve been searching for a forum just like this so I’m very hopeful! You can do all of the planning, research, and short stays but I still like to hear real advice from real people.
My situation may not be like the average Expat, but I am hopeful on living a comfortable life once I move.
I am a 26 yo Woman, married to another 26 yo Woman, ??????? planning on moving to Belize from the United States in the winter of 2021. Before anyone says it, yes we are young, but with very different mindsets from our peer demographic. We want a simpler life, away from the typical way of living in the states. My wife plans on and agricultural-based way of life as we move, while I on the other hand I’m currently a massage therapist and wondering if there is a market for my job field in Belize? I am also qualified to be an Elementary teacher or counselor, ?but from my research I was not sure if there was a demand for those either.????
I am also visually impaired and/legally blind, that along with being a same-sex couple and being on the young side, I sometimes worry about our safety while living there. Will we be able to openly live amongst the community, or might we be shunned?
These are just a few of my questions, advice or answers to any of these will be much appreciated, thank you everyone!?????
