My wife and I (expat Aussies, no kids) are looking to escape the rat race here in California. We're shopping around for a new place to call home and Belize is one of the places on our list. Have a few questions and I'm hoping someone here might share their insight.
1) I definitely intend to head down for a few exploratory trips. When is the best time to explore both during peak season and off-season. Is there a noticeable peak/off season?
2) I've been reading quite a bit on the internet about the rising crime rate in Belize. As an expat, does this affect your daily life? Is it getting better or worse?
3) Can anyone recommend a reputable person, agency etc on the ground that might be available to act as a local guide/advisor? Is there such a thing as a professional relocation expert in Belize?
Thanks in advance...
