We asked expats and digital nomads what they appreciate the most about the local culture in Belize. They wrote...
"Expats in Belize appreciate the fact that most Belizean people are friendly, hospitable, and open to welcoming newcomers. They also value the culture's diverse heritage as the country is a unique blend of Spanish, Mestizo, Maya, Creole, and Garifuna backgrounds. Additionally, expats are impressed by the country's natural beauty, from its coral reefs off the coast of Ambergris Caye to the lush Mayan jungle just inland. Furthermore, many expats enjoy the variety of outdoor activities Belize has to offer, such as caving, kayaking, and bird watching, as well as delicious local cuisine," remarked another expat who made the move to Belize.
"I appreciate being reminded that it's important to live as stress free as possible, and this includes appreciating the pace of the culture and not expecting North American precisene," explained one expat living in Hopkins Village, Belize.
