This Is Where The World Comes To Escape

Unadulterated Escape—Why We Love Belize

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As the only English-speaking country in Central America, Belize has been attracting expats in the know from the U.K., the United States, and Canada for decades.

But the fact that folks in these parts speak English (with a twist) is only the beginning of the long list of reasons to give this little country a close look.

Belize was a colony of the Crown until 1981, and the British left behind more than their language. They established a stable government, an English-based educational system, secure international business structures, and a legal system tied to the highest court in Great Britain.

The constitution for this new country was based on the Canadian constitution.

What does this mean?

That means boring.

Boring politics, boring everything. Not much to rock anybody’s boat.

As a result, in the four decades since, Belize has managed to remain largely under the radar. Ambergris Caye drew some attention as the setting for TV’s “Temptation Island” and “Survivor.”

Otherwise, other than from global divers and sun-seekers, Belize has been really successful at attracting very little attention.

Which is my point.

Belize Is Little-Known

This country has kept its head down. No one pays it any attention, and Belize is keen to keep it that way.

Could this unassuming outpost be the place for you to reinvent your life overseas… in retirement or maybe decades sooner?

I’d suggest you come have a look so you can answer that question. In the context of the current global climate of woes and worries, Belize stands out.

This is where the world comes to escape.

Belize is attracting the attention of Baby Boomers, who are making their way to this country in growing numbers. Walk down the street on Ambergris Caye, for example, and you hear the music of the Boomers all around—the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Janis Joplin…

These folks had a great time in the 1960s… then they got serious about living their lives, raising their children, and building something for themselves and their families.

Meantime, today, the world they worked so hard to create for themselves seems under attack from all sides.

They… you… me… we’re all trying to reclaim our footing.

In this context, Belize looks seriously appealing.

Bottom line, Belize has what a lot of people in North America are looking for right now. This little country with a long Caribbean coast may be off the global radar, but you might do well to put it center of yours.

Before I go any further, let’s back up and remind ourselves where we are. As I’ve explained, unassuming Belize is one of the top live and invest overseas options in the world today, offering safe haven for you and your money.

But that just skims the surface.

It takes time to penetrate the skin of a place… to see its heart and soul.

I’ve been spending time and money in Belize for more than 30 years.

For me and Belize it was love at first sight…

We’ll pick up the conversation here Sunday.

Until next time,

Kathleen Peddicord

Kathleen Peddicord has covered the live, retire, and do business overseas beat for more than 30 years and is considered the world's foremost authority on these subjects. She has traveled to more than 75 countries, invested in real estate in 24, established businesses in 7, renovated historic properties in 6, and educated her children in 4.

Kathleen has moved children, staff, enterprises, household goods, and pets across three continents, from the East Coast of the United States to Waterford, Ireland... then to Paris, France... next to Panama City, where she has based her Live and Invest Overseas business. Most recently, Kathleen and her husband Lief Simon are dividing their time between Panama and Paris.

Kathleen was a partner with Agora Publishing’s International Living group for 23 years. In that capacity, she opened her first office overseas, in Waterford, Ireland, where she managed a staff of up to 30 employees for more than 10 years. Kathleen also opened, staffed, and operated International Living publishing and real estate marketing offices in Panama City, Panama; Granada, Nicaragua; Roatan, Honduras; San Miguel de Allende, Mexico; Quito, Ecuador; and Paris, France.

Kathleen moved on from her role with Agora in 2007 and launched her Live and Invest Overseas group in 2008. In the years since, she has built Live and Invest Overseas into a successful, recognized, and respected multi-million-dollar business that employs a staff of 35 in Panama City and dozens of writers and other resources around the world.

Kathleen has been quoted by The New York Times, Money magazine, CNN, MSNBC, Yahoo Finance, the AARP, and beyond. She has appeared often on radio and television (including Bloomberg and CNBC) and speaks regularly on topics to do with living, retiring, investing, and doing business around the world.

In addition to her own daily e-letter, the Overseas Opportunity Letter, with a circulation of more than 300,000 readers, Kathleen writes regularly for U.S. News & World Report and Forbes.

Her Best-Seller book, "How to Retire Overseas: Everything You Need to Know to Live Well (for Less) Abroad," published by Penguin Random House, is the culmination of decades of personal experience living and investing around the world.

Her latest book is "At Home At Los Islotes," where Kathleen shares her life's adventure in Panama.
