Yup! I ate rat meat.
This is Hopkins - the friendliest village in all of Belize and the cultural epicenter of the Garifuna people. Those are not just my thoughts, this has been proclaimed in several magazines already.
We're going to roam around town, indulge in some local delicacies like snapper prepared in coconut milk (Bundiga) or eat some grilled jungle rat (Gibnut); aka the Royal Rat only since Queen Elizabeth had it too.
Learned a few more things about herbs at a chocolate farm on the way to Hopkins.
Some encounters at the nearby barrier reef with Belize Underwater, planned and unplanned performances and some of the warmest people with warmest smiles on the planet. Let's go!

My 11 year old daughter and I just returned from Hopkins and it was awesome. We decided to go based off this video and it was life changing! Thank you
Wow, I'm incredibly humbled to hear that you went to Hopkins after watching this video. That means the world to me! Hopkins was such a transformative experience for me as well. Truly life-changing!
Go to Punta Gorda Honduras next if you haven't been. Also epic!
Im so glad you enjoyed my gem and enjoyed the culture🖤💛🤍
Memories of a lifetime! Thank u for watching ❤️🙏
Love me some Hopkins have special childhood summer memories there in the earliest of the 1990s. I came back in 2019 to bury my gran and had just brief moment here. Shoutout to my Grand-Auntie (My Grandpas sister) her name is Hazel Magdaleno Nunez who lives behind Queen Beans Restaurant. I met her for the first time, very sweet woman. She is 96 years young and just absolutely radiant and strong. I hope she is well, if anyone knows her give her my love and regards, from her Grand-Niece Cassie (Sandras daughter) 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵 wonderful video take care!!!
Hope your message to ur grand aunty makes it to her. Wonderful place and even more wonderful folks there. Thanks for watching. Much love ❤️
Love this video and the PEOPLE OF BELIZE ,im coming back baby Nov 2023 !!!!Peace AND MUCH LOVE from Canada !!
November is right down the corner! Have an amazing trip. A huge belikin cheers to you in advance!
Glad you got your drone back! I'm driving to Belize in a few weeks; your tips helped me out a bunch. Thank you!
I was so relieved when I did. I was told not to have super high hopes to get it back haha. Since, I got a much lighter drone that doesn't require clearance so lesson learned. I'm very happy to hear that my tips went to good use. Take care!!
I'm glad Belize puts restrictions on drones. Nothing ruins a tranquil moment in a beautiful place like having a noisy drone hovering over you. That aside, I loved the video.
I do agree with you there and I hate it even more when someone else is flying one and not me 🙃😉
Hopkins is paradise guys
Sure is! Such an amazing vibe there!
Loved this video! Set on visiting Hopkins now. Please make more videos as you travel!
I promise I will Rose 😊❤️. Do check out Caves Branch Jungle Lodge too if u have space in your itinerary.

Living the Life!!!! Great Video!!!
Ah thank you Dianne. Much ❤️ your way.
What an excellent video. If everything goes the way it should, I'll be moving to Belize next year. Hopkins looks wonderful, and seeing you interact with the people just made my day. They seem so warm and peaceful. Honestly, it almost made me cry because of all the stress living in the States. Great stuff, brother.
I wish you the best on your move! Belize has tremendous warmth in its people and sights. P.s - your comment made my day and reminded me the true purpose of why I create these short videos. Thanks for being here. 😊🙏

Went to Belize Easter and stop in Hopkins for Dinner at Maxims restaurant on the beach the food was to die for, everyone was so nice. I will definitely go back to Maxims whenever I go back to Belize.
Thanks for the suggestion! Will keep this spot on my list cuz I do hope to return to Hopkins someday! Heaven on earth!
Excellent video! Loved it.
Thank you for watching sir 🙏
If your heading down south on hummingbird highway, about half way through you can find a spot on the highway that sells the best tamales.
Bertas tamales?! Or another one?
If any of u plan on traveling to Belize and driving, PLEASE WATCH OUT FOR SPEEDBUMPS.

Not only English but others Creole /Kreole Garifuna and spanish
Excellent video. When were you there? I was there in February and in May. You came when the weather was not so bright. When the sun out the water crystal blue.
Belize is a vibe and I hope to keep returning. Heck maybe even live there, who knows lol
I miss belikin!
Best beer! A belikin cheers to ya!
Love the vibes. I am Garifuna but from Honduras and I went to Hopkins in 2018 but it was during slow season so I didn't have as much fun as you did but overall I enjoyed my stay.
I was super fortunate to have gone when I did. Right in time for a concert! I've got Honduras planned next year. Booked and ready to go!
@@JourneyingWithTab Yes indeed. You will definitely enjoy Honduras. The Garifuna communities there are in Triunfo de la cruz, San Juan, Tornabe, Corozal, Sambo Creek, just to name a few. Cheers!
Thank you for sharing! I've totally screenshotted this!

How comes you drink and drive?
Thank you 😊 . How much was the rental car ?
Hi! If I can recall correctly think it was about 40 a day ... at AQ rentals on the airport
Hi!!! Can you please tell me what you used to record your videos! appreciate it!
Hi Trisha! I used a galaxy s10+ w a DJI gimbal as well as a gopro 360 🙂❤️
Where did you get the rental car from? me & my sister going back home to visit soon to visit family
Hi there! I went with AQ rentals which was right on the international Airport. Have a blast back home ❤️
Wait it seem like theire food is the same like Haïti food cause I'm looking white rice with that beans I feel like I'm in haiti but haiti will put fish instead of rat or some vegetables stuff
You are correct. Beans and rice are quite commonly served
Leave the historic facts longer, very interesting
Thank you for the feedback. I'm looking to do just that in future videos 😊🙏
@@JourneyingWithTab sounds great, some were long enough, but that is a fantastic feature I love info. It's great.
🙏❤️
I’m a writer looking to spend about a month in Hopkins Village, where would suggest I stay?
Hi there! Jaguar reef and hopkins bay resort were some names I heard while there. The hostel I picked was calm and great for the wallet. Good luck!!
Do you know about of the national symbols there are Tapir,tocan ,mahoganytree,blackorcid,belizean flag
The temperature is very high?
High 80s and low 90s while I was there.
@@JourneyingWithTab hahaha 🔥 tropical Caribbean climate
Are you able to share herbal place link or contact or maybe their website.
Lamanai chocolate company. Enjoy!
😂
good travel blog. I would skip comments like about the German white expat.
Thanks for watching and for providing feedback. I appreciate it 🙏😌
Stay away from Hopkins bay resort...
Noted!
