Thanks Bill! So a quick question. What would you say a typical month of expenses would be (in Canadian dollars). Rent, food, internet and electricity. We are thinking of living in San Ignacio (which seems to be less expensive than San Pedro). I ... Read More

Airport to Placencia by monica&claude1234
Hello everyone! What is the best way to get from the airport in Belize City to Placencia?? We really don`t want to rent a car just for that. Are there shuttles, or just city buses or is it better to take a taxi? Also prices, if you know them! ...

Thanks for that advice :top: I was mostly asking about how you "physically" brought it. Is there a company that will come and pick it up from our house or do we need to drive it to a port? If so what and how and who?? Read More

Hi Artena, We also are looking to move to Belize and found the book "Living Abroad in Belize" to be very helpful. Our local library had it. Depending on how you want to live, as a retired person you need to guarantee $2000.00 USD a month ... Read More
Retiring to Belize - Any advice? Do we loose our canadian healthcare? by monica&claude1234
Hi everyone! Hubby and I plan to retire to Belize and visit this April. Any advice? Where do you recommend? How about healthcare? Do we lose our Canadian healthcare or can we get it back if we move back to Canada? Thanks in advance!

Ok, I think we have decided on the place and kind of life we'd like. We would like input from the forum regarding suggestions and flaws in our thinking if you'd be so kind. We want to live off-grid as much as possible, but this is the last ...
