WOW GUYS! I can’t believe that I successfully met my 2nd President/Head of State - Mr. Johnny Briceño of Belize - a beautiful country in Central America.
Let's just say that it was not an easy journey to get here. My flight was delayed by 4 hours, so I had to cancel my initial meeting with Mr. President. And then it almost didn’t happen the next day because his schedule was so hectic...
So in between the anxiety of planning the meeting - I rented a car and explored all over this stunning tropical nation. Belize really caught me by surprise!!
PS - Is anyone still reading this? I’m not sure if people read captions anymore or not. But I just want to personally thank you for being here with me.

You have to come to Stockholm the city is gorgeous during the summer and very underrated
Second time 😆
you should pin your comment
Hey I'll tell you this as a full Belizean who has lived here my entire life, Johnny Briceño is not this man who "cares about his country". He is a man who came into power to get rich just like his father who did horrible thing when he was in power over 14 years ago. He has caused deaths of thousands of Belizeans. Please stop spreading this false information of a Prime Minister who is taking care of his country and someone who cares because he never did. If you want to can research It, go look how much the price of everything has gone up in Belize since he has become the Prime Minister. He has stolen hundreds of millions of dollars from people and is a man of pure evil. I just ask that don't go putting this evil man in good some type of good imagine because he is no saint. He took over this country for his own gain and for the gain of his fellow partners and right hand men.
The Title is misleading it’s prime Minister!.
Correction: Belize does not have a President, they have a Governor-General and a Prime Minister!
Yup. And Queen Elizabeth II is the head of state.
Yes - I corrected and said President/Head of state in the description :)
I guess putting "President" in the title will make more people click on it than "Prime Minister"
@@drewbinsky No way, it’s the real Drew Binsky responding to my comment!
@@jonaskessler326 which is crazy
as a belizean this video made me so happy to see someone actually appreciate us 🥹❤️🇧🇿
Ikr Johnny really put us down saying belize got no talent
@@tyraleslie9623 that is so true #belizean
Agreed

Born and raised Belizean. Was so weird seeing this video from you in my feed cuz no one internationally seems to mention Belize. So it's strange seeing us mentioned. Like the mention in breaking bad and better call Saul
I was lucky enough to serve in the British Army in Belize, and fell in love with the country, and its people. Everyone has the time to say hello, and pass the time of day. I met a previous Prime minister of Belize in 1979, who was the prime minister who took Belize forward to their independence. George Cadle Price, and like the current incumbent, he was someone that everyone could feel comfortable around.
Belize is still my favourite country to visit, and is where I plan to retire.
i'm glad to hear your experience in belize like a british, but for any reason, like a guatemalan i feel they hate us, they were rudes when i was there, Guatemala - Belize have had a lot of conflicts in the past, we all know here that Belize is part of us, but you know, UK always being nosy, same problem with Las Malvinas, all the world knows that is part of Argentina and Belize belongs to Guatemala, but UK...
@@blitzblack7308 my wife, who is Guatemalan, strongly disagrees with you.
Guatemala would devastate Belize. Just look at Google Earth, and you can see a distinct border, thanks to the deforestation of Guatemala.
Perhaps Guatemala should hand their land back to the mayan people first.
cool stuff bro, such adventures
@@blitzblack7308 as a Belizean, I will admit that many of them are very rude in general. However we don’t hate Guatemala…. Well at least my family doesn’t. It’s a beautiful culture & I hope to visit one day😊 However every Guatemalan I’ve met, has to say that we belong to them. It’s incredibly annoying but I just laugh it off ! Also it’s a bit disrespectful because our culture is super different from Guatemala. It’s like disregarding our culture as if it doesn’t exist. Also the reason we don’t agree or say anything is because in belizeans schools we aren’t taught the exact history they teach in Guatemala. I suppose everyone has their own version of the story

Maya archaeologist here. The ruins of Caracol out near the border (3 hours from San Ignacio) are the largest Maya ruins in Belize in terms of ancient population, size of pyramids and urban footprint by quite a bit. Xunantunich is probably #2, though there are a few other big ones of similar size.
Lamanai 🔝
I didn’t know thank you for sharing!! ❤️❤️
The Corerupt pudp politicians have sold to foreigners all the Archeology parks of belize.
❤❤
My wife and I visited Belize for the first time in 2018. We absolutely fell in love with the country and, after two more trips, are fortunate enough to have purchased land. We're planning to make Belize our home in the next couple of years and can't be more thrilled.
If anyone is reading this and wondering if they should visit Belize, the answer is YES. It is a wonderful, beautiful place with the nicest people. Go to the iguana rescue in San Ignacio, see Xunantunich, go snorkeling in Hol Chan, and eat all of the fryjacks until you're sick. You will not regret it.
It's good people with money can enjoy Belize. But people born in Belize never get to enjoy their beautiful country
ruclips.net/video/PMrpAFLsNcA/видео.html
I agree! Which area are you moving to?
I am so thankful to finally see a full video on Belize. It is so hard to find vlog's about experiences in Belize.
I have a lot of Belize videos on my channel.
I just made a vlog there a couple days ago. Can’t Believe I was that close to seeing drew !
I've been to Belize and I can say the people are truly the best. The country is so great

Thanks for checking out Belize, Drew! Having watched your videos for over a year I wondered when you'd visit 🇧🇿 proud and grateful that you had a nice time and made a sweet video about it!
Hi Drew, i am a Belizean, I've always watch your video's and i was very happy you toke out the time to come back and experience some of my country. Keep up the good work thanks for coming, hope to see you again soon.
I'm happy you came to visit my beautiful jewel.🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿
I'm so glad that there's presidents like this out here, that see the flaws in their countries, and are open to talk about them, and address them, they don't serve themselves, but serve their people
Yes!
Pff from ur stand point
Pff from ur stand point
They don't have a President. They have a Prime Minister
We don’t have a President we have a Prime Minister only
Fellow Belizean here!! So happy you visited and enjoyed your time. I do want to point out though that Belize doesn’t have a president, he’s the Prime Minister of Belize. 🇧🇿
💙💙
Great content - I spent two years in Belize and it is a glorious place. The scenery is just spectacular. The local food is delicious. The people are so kind and compassionate - always friendly, with big smiles and such pride of their slice of heaven. My favorite place is at the southernmost tip - the beautiful village of Placencia. If you like the outdoors, Belize is tough to beat and the people….oh the people…..just love ❤️ them
ruclips.net/video/PMrpAFLsNcA/видео.html
I watch a lot of your videos..love love love them...and I am glad that you visit my country of Belize... And am so glad that you speak well of my country...and that you look so comfortable moving around here...it is like you belong here you so comfortable.. Thank you drew
I AM SO GLAD YOU ENJOYED MY COUNTRY!!!🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿. COME BACK AGAIN REAL SOON.😃😃😃
💚💚
Best quote ever! "Everyone smiles in the same language"
Fantastic video, my Arizona friend :)
In September 2015 I visited Belize 🇧🇿 for 8 days on my own. Turned 41 there. Went horseback riding near Xunantunich.
Such an amazing country for its size. Can’t wait to go back!
Have you returned? Im glad you enjoyed!
Meeting the leaders of these small nations is so cool. They all seem like regular people.
From your point of view he looks like one but the way he lives is not
@@omarpitzold4796 I’m sure he does not live like one. But he acts like one and the position is a lot less formal than leaders of big countries. Same with the other leader Drew met - I’m sure he’s rich too.
Too bad they are currupted asf.
Btw im a belizean
@@Homer-OJ-Simpson well brazil is one of the biggest countries in the world
@@kelvinssosa2988 which leaders aren’t corrupt? But is Belize leader more than Normal corrupt?
Me thinking of all the insightful things I'm going to say to the leader of this country.
Me when I meet the leader: "We have the same color shirt."
hahhahh, you gotta break the ice!

💚💚
Hey Drew, next time you're in Belize you need to reach out to our team for some exclusive BELIZE experiences. Great video!
Ahhh! One of my favorite RUclipsrs went to visit my moms home country 😭❤️🇧🇿 thank you Drew! Cant wait to see more when you visit again! 😊
But he doesn’t know the difference between a President & a PM
@@benparks7008 So?
ruclips.net/video/PMrpAFLsNcA/видео.html
I love it when I watch youtubers visit Belize I many ways Belize is like a dream and I have lived here all my life. I love to see other people enjoy the best belize 🇧🇿 has to offer.
Really ...looks like theres more hardship out in Belize?
What/how the man described the emotions he gets when he watches you videos in créole is exactly how I feel when I watch too.
It's surreal how you make us feel like we are there experiencing it with you.
Good job Drew!
Beautiful country and people. I can't wait to visit one day.
Yes! Belize is very chill but certain areas to avoid in the city hope when you visit you enjoy.
what i would count as going to a county is
1. staying more than 12 hours
2.doing some sort of activity
3. meet some local residents
agree with all of that!
I went to Panama as a short layover and stayed for 13 hours but 10 were spent in the airport and sleeping we talked with someone at breakfast and went to the canal for like 10 mins does it count
@@JustCaden i wouldnt count it
Would you really spend >12 h in the Vatican?
@@EchelonIV i think it's safe to say that the Vatican is an exception :)
I’m from the US and have been to Belize on service trips twice but this video change my perspective on Belize. Makes me want to go back, which I know I definitely will.
I LOVE BELIZE! Im so glad to see you explore this beautiful country.
My favourite spot was a small island off the coast called Caye Caulker, its such an underated paradise! 🇧🇿
ruclips.net/video/hU7kAb14p3A/видео.html
Ty
Oh we didn't like it at all. I mean the snorkeling was kinda cool, we even saw a manatee, but overall the whole vibe was really weird with very loud music and only stuff for the tourists, it didn't feel authentic at all. Our expectations were high because everyone said that it was the place to go in Belize
Belize is a coin its pretty on one side but on the other its a criminal ridden place murders rape
💚💚
After watching most of your video’s , I love how humble and respectful you are with the natives of every country you visted , kudos to you bro .
ruclips.net/video/hU7kAb14p3A/видео.html
Hope you had fun in Belize Drew! Very nice place. And you must have been so happy to meet the president as well. Traveling is something that shouldn’t ever be taken for granted, as you find great stuff everywhere! Belize looks amazing! 🇧🇿🇧🇿
Yep! Thanks!
Prime Minister not President
@@letricegabb6254 check description
Belize looks like such a chill country
Belize is a beautiful country I would love to visit there someday!
I live there
Hey Drew you sometimes make entertaining videos and the rest is all inspiring to people that want to be a traveler later! Keep up the good work Drew
I’ve taken a train through Belgium but haven’t ever “been”. I was in Switzerland for a shorter period of time but usually still count it because I was dropped off in Basel and had to walk through town to catch my train. So I was at least on the streets and experienced a bit. So I’d count it but I still need to visit again.
Belgium or Belize??
What? Smh.
💚💚
I am glad that you enjoyed coming to our home town we really appreciate it.Thank you for giving people and idea of how Belize is like. 😁🙏🇧🇿
I’d just like to say your humbleness is awesome you came to the country with no expectations just respectable, very few are like that , big up and here at bz the way we give our direction is confusing but we just get it lol
Wow! this seems like an amazing adventure. This makes me want to go to Belize 🇧🇿 one day.
you should go!
ruclips.net/video/hU7kAb14p3A/видео.html

Belize has always been on my bucket list, thanks for this look at the people of this country. Now I want to go more than ever!
See more of Belize on my channel
Welcome to our country.😊🇧🇿💕
You are welcomed anytime you will love my BEAUTIFUL BELIZE 🇧🇿
Belize central america I'm from and please come visit
By sharing these casts you're spreading awareness on travel destinations for all. Man that's one way to unite the world. God bless you sir.
I'm Belizean and this brings a smile to my face
Thank you so much .... It really means a lot that you make us more well known to the world
💚💚
I've been to Belize twice. You missed out on the islands, which are the most popular tourist destinations there. You should definitely do a trip around the country in local buses too, which is a cool experience.
ruclips.net/video/hU7kAb14p3A/видео.html
💚💚
I read captions. Thank You for taking the time to write them. 🥰 You. You are the best!!
Great to see Belize featured, I love the country. Xunantunich is such an amazing place to visit!
Ugh we missed you by legit a month! We loved our time there, what a great hidden gem.
Also just want to say that in Belize we would also refer to it as "The Jewel" 😄
OMG why am I just seeing this. You finally made it to Belize! I've been waiting patiently 😍 Welcome to our lil paradise.
You seem so much more chill again since you finished all countries. Glad you made it!
OH MY GOD, the people of BELIZE are amazing... English is the first language is so cool.. i love the president... so so down to earth person. i feel so happy youre having a good time there. it makes me want to go in Belize and try to have a good vacation there. shout out to Mercedes amazing neighbor to help.. BELIZE IS SO FELIZE..
Common down. We're waiting for you guys. You are all welcome 😁
Here in belize there is only nice people i say it cuz im a belizean.
@@Kurumi.233 Nah, there's bad people in every country in the world, including Belize.

i lived in belize for a while! beautiful country, glad to see you here :)
i was waiting for this vid thanks am from belize too
Love this video and Belize looks like a beautiful country.
Belize is my country. Thank you for doing this! So well done
I forgot it was even a country and where it was located but it looks like a nice country
I live in england my country and I'm half jamaican and Italian
I believe that visiting a country is experiencing something that the country is famous for. I’ve only been to the us since I live here. But I’ll use an example, I never felt like I’ve seen the the best parts of the us until I took a vacation to the east coast. Now I feel like I’ve actually been to my country
ruclips.net/video/hU7kAb14p3A/видео.html
Thank you for stopping by,Belize is a wonderful place,great video,may God bless you where ever you go.
i love the third person perspective of you going around asking for directions lmao. the music accompanies it very well too
For anyone interested I found a round trip ticket to belize on July from Orlando for $170 which is normally $500
That my country . We don’t have President though ,he his Prime Minister of Belize John Briceño.🇧🇿🇧🇿
Thank you for visiting my country .
Yes, and he is great!
Thought it was Dean Barrow, didn't realize the change,maybe because I,m not from there haha.
@@dhrumildhruv331 yes I do
This is so cool. Man, meet as many Presidents as you can. What a series that’d be!
💚💚
As a belizean watching this video it made me happy. I am glad you enjoyed your visit in Belize.
💚
For me counting visiting a country is all about if you've experienced the culture or food or area, something that gives you an experience of something that the country has to offer whether that is seeing the architecture, meeting people or riding the subway
Also this is ambiguous to each person so would say there's no hard and fast rule
❤❤
Belize is definitely one of those countries you don't hear about, but based on this video, it looks like a beautiful country.
Belize central america I'm from and we're Caribbean community members and a commonwealth nation also and we have the 2nd longest barrier reef in the world after Australia great barrier reef!!
We're a very multi racial country and English language is official but many people talk Spanish and Mayan dialect & Garifuna/ caribs descendant!!
I Did A Trip To Belize & Guatemala About 30 Years Ago; Friendly Folks, Beauty Everywhere. The Waters Around Key Caulker, Amazing! Earth; What A Sweet Planet... Good On You Drew. Peace
I went to Belize for a vacation in placencia. It was super nice and people were friendly, except for the one who followed us with a machete. It didn’t feel super safe but was fun!
The fact that you got a direct flight to Belize is impressive..
That looked like a connection in Houston, though, so not nonstop…
💙💙
Wow this is a very good vid! Keep on doing what you’re doing and have a nice day 😃
💚💚
I DO count visiting an airport as visiting a country because while you might not get the full experience, you get to hear their language, you get to try some of their foods and snacks, you have a view from inside the airport and you are surrounded by many different foreigners and countrymen alike.
Glad you enjoyed my country. Love to see progress and happiness.
Que bien que ayas disfrutado de Belize. Te recomendaria que visitaras Guatemala 🇬🇹 el pais vecino de Belize, tiene lugares muy hermosos y demaciados lugares Mayas Como caracol en Belize, lo llaman el pais de la eterna Primavera 🌷 tambien El corazon del Mundo Maya. Espero que un dia lo visites y puedas disfrutar de El. Bendiciones y muchos exitos ☺
❤❤
I count a country as being within its borders, great vid btw!
Hey Mr Drew you came to my country . wow . cool. hope u come again. great video. lots more to see. oh you passed my home town infact my home. cheers.
Wow can’t believe you visited my country been waiting so long for this one. Next time you come I’d be glad to show you around a bit more!!!!
I consider visiting a country to be staying in a normal hotel and not a five-star resort, walking the streets like a normal citizen and eating at local restaurants, really experiencing life as a local in that country
Yesss, that's the best experience 💯
6:26 I was just going to say that I thought this was my own home island of Bohol. It looks pretty similar yet on a completely different continent and an ocean away. 👀
It is incredible how much Belize looks like the Philippines
💚💚
I was fortunate to go to Belize the humidify got me how ever once I got use to it it felt so good
Belizean here. How didnt I know you were here! Yea it is pretty easy to meet the prime minister here. We are a small country so most people are acquainted with each other.
You are so blessed to travel the world ❤️
I am in Belize vlogging now
Meeting the Prime Minister of Belize, 195 leaders left!👍😀
BELIZE TO THE WORLD

Thanks for stopping by in Pomona valley drew and have chicken fingers that night was awesome
i love your travel videos:) 😊👍 comme to switzerland and we eat together swiss choccolats🇨🇭😋😊
would love to!
It amazes me how stats say Belize is a very dangerous country, but you just went with the president outside of his building without any form of security and all people just look warm and welcoming. I feel like this is a proof we need to take crime stats with a huge grain of salt.
not really, depends where you are for the most part. Belmopan is reletivitly safe and all the parts of belompan he showed is safe. South Side of belize city is another question entirely.
The President seems very nice. Very kind and humble.
I was just there, its beautiful!
Great video, Drew. But maybe you should change the video title from President to Prime Minister since Belize is not a republic.
"¡BELICE ES MÍA!" - Guatemala
jajaja
I live in Belize and I really enjoyed your video.
I never considered that you visited my country from your previous video on Belize. After watching this one, I still feel like you missed out on so much. But I appreciate you coming back for a more enriching experience. And I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Having said that, there are some mistakes you made in the video, and I wanted to correct them so that viewers are not misinformed.
Corrections:
1.) Belize has a PM, not a President.
2.) Mopan is a type of Mayan. And we have three main types: Ketchi, Mopan, and Yucatec. We also have several other groups like Garinagu, East Indians, Chinese, etc…
3.) Xunantunich is not the largest ruin we have. It is Caracol.
4.) You were in San Ignacio. Then you drove on the Hummingbird Highway and ended up in Belize City. That doesn’t make any sense. Timeline is definitely off there.
5.) Belmopan is not the smallest city in Latin America because Belize is not a part of Latin America.
💙💙
The Prime Minister reminds me of my Puerto Rican grandpa, real chill old Caribbean dude energy
awesome!
Technically an airport visit is enough but to have a real experience/taste of the country you need to spend some more time with the people there in the country
💚💚
Thank you for visiting my beautiful country of Belize Drew hope you come back soon
Your were in my town! I can't believe it and I'm such a big fan I wish I could have met you. But great video like always.
This definitely makes me want to visit Belize, maybe I too can meet the Prime Minister! 😃
Belize doesn’t have a president the queen is the head of state and the prime minister is that guy
