Congratulations! Relocating to Belize might just be the smartest decision you ever make. Below is information about what you can expect.
The initial stages of moving to Belize can be a big change depending on where you come from and what your previous experiences have been. It’s always a good idea to spend a substantial amount of time in Belize (or any other place) prior to making a life-changing move.
Certainly, things can be very different in Belize. If you are moving to Belize from North America or Europe, or even a more metropolitan city in the developing world, pace of life will likely be a big transition. Things move slowly in Belize. If patience is a virtue, you’ll need to be virtuous as you adapt to the culture of Belize and the speed at which the country operates.
Governmental funding is relatively low in Belize, and the bureaucracy tends to move slowly. It bears repetition: patience is a virtue. If you are consider retiring in Belize or buying real estate in Belize, you’ll need patience until you fully adapt to the lifestyle in the country. Somebody who has a lot of experience with the developing world will have a far easier time adapting than somebody who jumps right into a move to Belize without such experience.
Of course, for most people, the flip side of needing patience for dealing with a slower pace of life is getting to live that slower pace of life. A slower pace of life translates to a high quality of life for most people. Read as: less stress. Read as: more enjoyment. Read as: good for your body, good for your mind.
