Belize has always been somewhat of an anomaly in Central America. Belize is the only English-speaking country in Central America. The lack of a language barrier makes Belize easy for North Americans to adapt, live in, and do business successfully. Belize was originally a British colony, has no history of internal strife or war, is rarely affected by hurricanes, and offers a warm tropical climate.

Belize delivers the much sought-after Caribbean lifestyle without the hassle and confinement of living on an island. Goods and services are relatively easy to come by in Belize due to close proximity to Mexico and Guatemala. The cost of living is reasonable, and the style of living is eccentric and healthy.

The combination and timing for Belize spells opportunity for the adventure-seeking expat, sun-seeking retiree, and seekers of unique business opportunities. 

For the avid beachcomber or water sport enthusiast, Belize offers an incredible array of islands, coves, bays, coral and beaches. For the land lover, Belize is a diverse combination of jungles, waterfalls, lagoons, and rivers.
