I’ve only rode through orange walk on the bus. I ended moving to boring, but safe, and dry Belmopan lol My favorite city mainland so far is actually San Ignacio. My family moved to Belize this year (my uncles had lived here before). Belize is sweet. I do love how it’s a melting pot and how easy I blend in.
You said it right, Belize is SO SWEET!! Orange Walk is boring and safe too. We loved San Ignacio a lot because it was bigger than Orange Walk but still small enough to feel very comfortable. The melting pot feeling is amazing. Until we talk, no one knows we’re not Belizean lol! It’s great that you have family there. That’s definitely a part that was missing while we were there. We can’t wait to get back. Hopefully you’re still living there and maybe we can connect and hang out! Enjoy your new home! 💜Dee
Spot on guys. I like your mentality I agree totally. It would be liberating to get out of this materialistic society and live simple down there. I hope to one day see you guys in Belize.
She keeps a joke r 2 lol! Bro I just subscribed to your channel you have some dope content! Thanks for the support and continue to follow us on our journey!
I have been to Belize several times but never went that far North. And now I CANT WAIT for my next trip to Belize. I plan to explore Orange Walk, Corozal, and Chetumal. Everyone just flocks to Ambergris Caye.
I completely resonate with that! We have been dreaming about going back ever since we left. We’re getting our ducks in a row now but are going back as soon as possible! If you travel abroad, we’d love to hear about your experiences. Everywhere seems better than here…the US sucks haha! 💜Dee
I love yall's energy. I'm saddened to see there haven't been any new videos. Would love to see where you landed and what you are up to now. You are MY kind of people. Good info here. I was considering Orange Walk right until the last con. One of the things I want to be able to do when I am in another country is I want to have things to do.
I have a friend from Orange walk and I went with them to visit a couple of times staying with family. The People were kind and generous, the food was off the chain and the country is beautiful. Everything’s very affordable!I am seriously considering retiring or living there for a while at least. The roads are terrible however and there are no big box stores or restaurants. if you don’t eat when the restaurants that are there are open you have to wait until the evening when some of them will open up again. It’s a pretty nice place and everybody does seem to know everybody. I was very sad when I had to come back to the states where the pace is faster and people are rude for no reason at all.
Nice video. Love Belize. I found out that the Creole language spoken in Belize while I was there is similar to the Creole language spoken in Sierra Leone and other parts of West Africa.
Hey Trish I 👀 your a new subscriber!!! Wow we had no idea they spoke that language in West Africa. It's crazy how we learn something new everyday through these comments. U seem well traveled and we would love to hear any suggestions on dope spots in Belize. Thanks for your support and continue to follow us on our journey!
@@blackabroad Indeed! Unfortunately, I spent a short time in Belize. As a West African Creole, there is a connection with the Belizean Creole people and the Creoles of Louisiana by way of slavery.
That's really interesting to learn! We are looking forward to traveling all over Africa soon. It's too expensive for us right now though. But I did my DNA ancestry and found out that I have a lot of Nigerian DNA, so the connection makes a lot of sense. I hope you get a chance to spend more time in Belize soon. It's such a good vibe! 💜Dee

Garifuna I believe is the language...might have spelled it wrong. You 2 are the cutest and sweetest couple....I can feel the love you have for each other over the fiber optics.
Hello there. I am from Louisiana and planning to move to Belize within the the next year(2022-2023). Went round Belize July 2022 and saw what I needed to know. Would like to stay in touch. Will go back during the winter months to see where I want to be. Hope to hear back.
New subscriber and pushed the like button. Just ran across your channel and me and my friend we're coming to Belize. He's moving to orange walk and I'm just going to check it out. I'm moving to Africa. Kenya to be exact with my wife, she's from Kenya and I can't wait to get out of the states. Will go back to Belize with my family but I'm going to check it out first and I love spicy food.
Thanks for sharing! I recently visited family in that town for the first time. Agree with you about visiting/living in a non-tourist area, best way to truly experience like a local, jah bless!
Omg luv this just found your channel in searching for info on living in Belize. I'm originally from the Virgin Islands living in Texas. I found that Belize might be a perfect more affordable home away from home for me🥰. Y'all are wesome 🥰
You’re awesome too!! One of my best friends just spent a month in the VI and loved it 🥰 one of her good friends is from and currently lives there. But yes, Belize is definitely more affordable. A great thing about Belize really! And as Black people we still feel very at home there. I didn’t feel that way when we were in Panama. We were clearly outsiders. I get treated like an outsider in the US enough lol! We’re making the plans to go back to Belize permanently and we’re posting the process as we go through so others don’t have to make the same mistakes! We can’t wait to get back. Thanks so much for the love!! Keep following and let us know if you do decide to move to Belize, back to the VI, or anywhere else outside the hellish (continental) USA!
@@blackabroad awww thank you🥰... I'm literally here in Belize as we speak . I'm tall so I stand out anywhere I go and I do not like attention😄😄. I'm definitely looking to leave the US also in search of my lil peace 🧘🏾♀️of paradise. I'll definitely be staying tuned to your family's exit.
Ayyyy 🤸🏾♀️ that's what's up!! You got the calm down meds lol! I completely feel you. I'm tall and in Panama I was so out of place because my skin was brown, my hair was blonde (rare over there) and I'm tall and most everyone was average or short, even the guys! We felt like giants in Panama haha! Which part of Belize are you in?
Hey neighbor! Convincing your hubby gets easier the more you travel and really surround yourself in the culture and energy of the place. Meet some locals and eat local food and use public transportation to get a real feel for the area. Also, when you're traveling, don't fill all your time doing excursions and tours. That way you won't overspend by going to all the tourist traps and you also will have time to actually relax and enjoy the area. Last piece of advice is to pick places that you're both interested in visiting. Good luck and let us know how your travels go 💜Dee
AWW man I missed the yoga class. I was sick with COVID and I forgot about it. Suggestion: If you are good at Technology you can contract yourself out to do their updating of their site and to start making the technology a little better.. maybe consulting.. Just an idea! Shoot you make me want to come there and get some contracts lol
Sorry to hear you had covid but I'm sure she will have another session soon! We discussed that opportunity but it's not that the Belizean's don't have access to technology. Once you get on Google and put up your times and menu's that obligation quickly goes from your own business to a job. The technology is for tourists and the locals understand the buz concepts. These are small family owned businesses ran out there homes. You get big now u have to get a store front, hire people, and make sure you have everything on the menu. Belizean's give me the feel that they just need enough to sustain and not get big and be poppin. These people own their time! So we feel it's just something we need to adapt to. We've left all our ideas from the states in the states and it has helped us find autonomy and truly connect with the culture and the way of thinking living abroad. Great comment and we appreciate all the comments it does wonders for the algorithm. I can tell you've watched all our videos and we greatly appreciate the support thanks so much Brandie! -Eric
There are laws about expats being employed. Any business owned by expats must employ Belizean citizens. That's how they protect their people, which is smart. You could start a consulting business, but you'll need to check the laws first.
I recently found your page. And its exactly what I needed. My question is how did your kids do with transitioning to Belize. My daughter and I are going to leave the states soon and Belize is our place of choice. I picked Belize because of the language. Thanks for your videos!
Hey Megan! That’s a great question! During this first part of our travels, we didn’t bring the kids. We didn’t want to disrupt their school schedule and we also wanted to scope out the area and get some experience with international travel (outside of whack ass cruises lol) before we brought the kids. And I think that was best because trying to navigate that with the boys would’ve be super tough!! Now that we’ve done that and visited a few places and decided on Belize, we’re bringing the boys for a few weeks at the end of the year or the top of next year so they can experience it and see how they feel in that environment. Like you, the language barrier was a real concern so then speaking English is such a plus for me bringing the kids down. And In the meantime, we’re all learning Spanish to be able to communicate better in Latin America. Please keep in touch and let us know how your abroad plans are going. We will give any tips and advice we have!! 💜Dee
We’ll be back at the end of the year too but we won’t be back permanently for another year or two. We’re always down for meeting cool people! Just hit us up through our email! 💜Dee

It’s rainy season from June - November. The thing is the rain is usually pretty brief. The storms might get intense but they don’t usually last very long. And I can honestly say, I feel so comfortable being Black in Belize. I never felt out of place! When are you hoping to visit and which area? 💜Dee
I want to travel there by myself for a couple of weeks, but I smoke the devil's lettuce, if that's your twist, did you find that it was easy to get it out there?
Belize will definitely be our new home! Belize is exactly what we were looking for as we begun our journey. We plan on visiting Mexico and Central America in the near future including Panama. I'm glad you enjoyed our videos and continue to follow us on our journey!

We are thinking about retiring in Panama in about 2 years, we are a black couple in our mid 50's. Which place did you like the best Belize or Panama? Really enjoy your videos ❤
We loved them both! Belize immediately felt like home from the culture, language, people, and the lack of infrastructure and material. Belize aligns with our ideals in our search for autonomy. Panama is a beautiful place and it's definitely an easier transition from the 🇺🇸. Outside of the language barrier it has infrastructure, American franchises, culture and just everything you need and want. Expats have infiltrated some of the culture and economy in Panama and it almost defeats the purpose of us leaving the states. Belize covers our basic needs and forces us to become more self sustainable which is what we desire. As far as our wants, we just want to be free and we just want each other! Thanks for your support Darnell and we plan on doing a video about the difference in Panama and Belize soon! Continue to follow us on our journey and good luck with retirement and beginning you journey! Eric
I was looking at Panama and actually have my retired Visa but I change my mind. You can feel the racism unless you live in Colon where the Carribean Panamanians are located. Any other place its the lighter Panamanians who prefer the align themselves with European beauty standards. So you do stand out in Panama and I don't like that. So im now looking at Belize and other locations where people are not dying to look white
Seriously though! So freaking delicious! If you make your way up north, go to Orange Walk and stop at El Gran Mestizo hotel (best hotel in the city!) and get the stewed lobster at their restaurant Maracas. It’s only $12USD!! Highly recommend all of their food. Service can be slow, but prices are great and the food is amazing! 💜Dee
No, it was harder to socialize because of the COVID restrictions. But now that they’ve eased, I’m hoping we can do more socializing when we go back. Otherwise, we met people at the places we stayed and when out and about. Most of the taxi drivers and even people just walking around are pretty friendly. 💜Dee
There's different types of Creole. U have French-based Creole, Portuguese-based Creole, English -based Creole. It's interesting but not the same. Much love from a Haitian-Creole
Hey there! I just came across this video. I currently live in Hawaii. I am seriously thinking about moving to Belize. Where can I start looking for houses for rent / for sale? How does one make money living there? I work with Marriot so I can transfer to their hotel there, but Im worried about my boyfriend and my family who will need to get jobs. I am hoping to get a 4 bedroom house for us to live in.
Hey Seva!! Hawaii looks so beautiful on all the pics and videos I’ve seen. What a paradise! But I hear it’s expensive, so I can definitely understand the desire to move. Belize has inexpensive housing, especially in the smaller or more rural areas like Orange Walk or Ladyville. It’s hard to find places from across the pond, but the best way we’ve found is through Facebook Marketplace. But honestly, it’s best to go down there and either find properties by driving through areas looking for rent or sale signs, talking to the locals, hiring a realtor. I’d suggest taking a visit to spend some time in the cities you’re thinking about so you can live in them and see if they’re a fit. As far as work, that’s the toughest part of it. I work remotely but i have to do it in the US so that’s not an option if I’m abroad. It takes time and money to get a work permit in Belize, so that’s part of what’s delaying our return. It looks like the best option is to do digital freelance work. Once we figure that part out, we’ll definitely post a video about how to navigate the employment process in Belize. Thanks so much for watching and keep following as we grow through this process together! Reach out with any other questions 💜Dee

@@mistercleaton5951 Yessir check out the Facebook marketplace. They have homes, and land for sale also plenty of rentals. Remember Belizean's currency is USA dollar x 2.
I was enjoying the info until the N word. Great energy, plus two intelligent beings, but that is not a universal word for all of us. I am leaving to get away from people who have that mentality of lack. Lack of class, lack of respect and to me that word ties into that way of being. The glorifying of the "hood' lifestyle. The traps laid for us by American Colonizers after the 60s. A clear reflection of our downfall and how we not just accept it, but embrace it. No hate, just saying this is a universal format and referring to himself as anything less than the god or king he us is unfortunate. So much potential once you know who you are and an N word is not it! Thanks for putting out the information. Many of us need it to make final decisions.

We loved them both! Belize immediately felt like home from the culture, language, people, and the lack of infrastructure and material. Belize aligns with our ideals in our search for autonomy. Panama is a beautiful place and it's definitely an easier transition from the 🇺🇸. Outside of the language barrier it has infrastructure, American franchises, culture and just everything you need and want. Expats have infiltrated some of the culture and economy in Panama and it almost defeats the purpose of us leaving the states. Belize covers our basic needs and forces us to become more self sustainable which is what we desire. As far as our wants, we just want to be free and we just want each other! Thanks for your support Darnell and we plan on doing a video about the difference in Panama and Belize soon! Continue to follow us on our journey and good luck with retirement and beginning you journey! Eric
@@samsmom1491 we will check out Belize also, thank you.
I was looking at Panama and actually have my retired Visa but I change my mind. You can feel the racism unless you live in Colon where the Carribean Panamanians are located. Any other place its the lighter Panamanians who prefer the align themselves with European beauty standards. So you do stand out in Panama and I don't like that. So im now looking at Belize and other locations where people are not dying to look white
I’m looking to heading to Belize later this year. I just want to go for the stewed lobster after seeing this video
Seriously though! So freaking delicious! If you make your way up north, go to Orange Walk and stop at El Gran Mestizo hotel (best hotel in the city!) and get the stewed lobster at their restaurant Maracas. It’s only $12USD!! Highly recommend all of their food. Service can be slow, but prices are great and the food is amazing! 💜Dee
Thank you for sharing! We’re there specific places you went to make friends and meet new people?
No, it was harder to socialize because of the COVID restrictions. But now that they’ve eased, I’m hoping we can do more socializing when we go back. Otherwise, we met people at the places we stayed and when out and about. Most of the taxi drivers and even people just walking around are pretty friendly. 💜Dee
How long have you lived in Belize?
Wish i could go my grandfather from there
Missing you.
There's different types of Creole. U have French-based Creole, Portuguese-based Creole, English -based Creole. It's interesting but not the same. Much love from a Haitian-Creole
Exactly! In Belize they are Spanish Creole, whereas in Louisiana, we’re French Creole, more similar to Haiti 💜Dee
Hey there! I just came across this video. I currently live in Hawaii. I am seriously thinking about moving to Belize. Where can I start looking for houses for rent / for sale? How does one make money living there? I work with Marriot so I can transfer to their hotel there, but Im worried about my boyfriend and my family who will need to get jobs. I am hoping to get a 4 bedroom house for us to live in.
Hey Seva!! Hawaii looks so beautiful on all the pics and videos I’ve seen. What a paradise! But I hear it’s expensive, so I can definitely understand the desire to move. Belize has inexpensive housing, especially in the smaller or more rural areas like Orange Walk or Ladyville. It’s hard to find places from across the pond, but the best way we’ve found is through Facebook Marketplace. But honestly, it’s best to go down there and either find properties by driving through areas looking for rent or sale signs, talking to the locals, hiring a realtor. I’d suggest taking a visit to spend some time in the cities you’re thinking about so you can live in them and see if they’re a fit. As far as work, that’s the toughest part of it. I work remotely but i have to do it in the US so that’s not an option if I’m abroad. It takes time and money to get a work permit in Belize, so that’s part of what’s delaying our return. It looks like the best option is to do digital freelance work. Once we figure that part out, we’ll definitely post a video about how to navigate the employment process in Belize. Thanks so much for watching and keep following as we grow through this process together! Reach out with any other questions 💜Dee
Resturant don't open 24 seven because many people do home cooking, Belizean only eat out on weekends,

Do they cook lamb and/or goat?
I’ve been finding lots on Facebook marketplace and in groups if that help’s anyone.
Agree, probably the best place we’ve found to look while you’re still in the states.

I was enjoying the info until the N word. Great energy, plus two intelligent beings, but that is not a universal word for all of us. I am leaving to get away from people who have that mentality of lack. Lack of class, lack of respect and to me that word ties into that way of being. The glorifying of the "hood' lifestyle. The traps laid for us by American Colonizers after the 60s. A clear reflection of our downfall and how we not just accept it, but embrace it.
No hate, just saying this is a universal format and referring to himself as anything less than the god or king he us is unfortunate. So much potential once you know who you are and an N word is not it!
Thanks for putting out the information. Many of us need it to make final decisions.
Do you remember where you live....USA, dont you know it was also colonized lol.......talking about that, get educated before you comment on things.
meditate on the word of God. Yoga is a no no
Lol
Jesus did yoga. Yoga is meditation not the white yoga you know. White Jesus is scared of Yoga but not the real Jesus
