Episode 4

So you wanna live the Belize Island Life?

In this episode, we dive into the intricacies of migrating to San Pedro, Belize, exploring the residency process and the challenges one might encounter during the relocation journey. We discuss the nuances of rental costs & getting a rental, drawing comparisons between expats and locals.

Our conversation also touches on the cost of food and the importance of being mindful of product expiration dates, given the absence of robust regulatory bodies like the FDA.

Amidst these considerations, we do highlight the exceptional freshness of local produce. For those contemplating working in Belize, whether as a nomad or for a local business, we provide insights into obtaining a driving license and navigating interactions with government officials.

And, of course, we emphasize the importance of cultural sensitivity, cautioning against adopting a "Karen" attitude in this vibrant Belizean community.
