Mosquitos, sand flies, doctor flies... oh my by KeriMeHome314
If it bites, it鈥檚 gonna get me and I know that slathering myself in deet several times a day can鈥檛 be good for me. My amazing community has pointed out several plants growing around my home that I can use to relieve the itching or ...
I never found anything that works to prevent DR flies. The pharmacies sell a stronger version of benadryl though and that helped with the swelling. Also forced a nap馃槈 Read More
Chronic heart failure, medical questions by albertovera007
My wife inherited chronic heart failure and is the medical office capable of handling that diagnosis?
@albertovera007 Belize isn鈥檛 known for exceptional health care or emergency services. We lived in the Corozal district and most Belizeans and expats we know go to Mexico as a first choice or Belize City as a second option. Read More

Medication in Belize by Lo茂c
Good morning everyone, Whether it's a simple cold or a chronic illness, medication and medicine use vary from country to country and culture to culture. When you are used to certain brands or types of drugs, being in a country like Belize ...
I found getting medication in Belize to be far easier and less expensive than in the US. Many medications that required prescriptions in the US were available without a prescription and many pharmacies and knowledgeable pharmacists are available in ... Read More
Carpooling in Belize by Diksha
Hello everyone, In order to move around in Belize, you will have to spend time on the road; for your work commute, to drop your children off at school or for everyday trips. Carpooling could be the right option for you. We would like to know ...
These posts by the moderators make me giggle. If you consider hitchhiking carpooling then we鈥檝e got it in spades. Most Belizians view hitchhiking as a perfectly acceptable means of transportation. But if you are the driver you assume liability ... Read More

Not sure who, or what, you are replying to here, or if this was the thread you intended to reply to.The thread topic shows up as 鈥淗ow things are in the States is why many of us are here鈥�. It鈥檚 strange since the thread is about ... Read More

Hi every one, I'm new to this site and would love some advice. I am looking for mid term investment opportunities in Belize. Property now and perhaps to purchase a business down the road. My time frame to 'retire' to Belize is 7-8 years but in the ...

Hello! I am seriously considering moving to Ambergris Caye in November of 2020. I am trying to collect all the information I can on making the move. Some of my questions include: 1. What is the typical cost of living on the island? (Rent, ...
Hi, I鈥檓 in a different district so can鈥檛 really help with all your questions but San Pedro Scoop usually has good articles and advice you might find ... Read More

Hi Sam, Not sure what your accessibility concern is for Ambergris. Multiple flights or water taxis go there per day from multiple points in Belize as well as Chetumal MX. As for the airport in Placencia, I haven鈥檛 seen any progress there. It ... Read More
Negotiating salary and benefits in Belize by Bhavna
Hello everyone, Better job prospects in Belize can most certainly be an incentive to leave your country of origin. Securing a contract with the right salary and benefits for you can be crucial to make your move successful. Is salary and ...
Hummm, not sure many would consider moving to Belize for better job prospects. The unemployment rate in the country is high, the wages are extremely low. Perhaps if one was starting a business, you鈥檇 have some advantages of a multi lingual and ... Read More
I am a grown ass man. by BCLawrence
Somebody recently posted a query ... are some people feeling driven off this page. I would have been happy to respond but it was removed. I have noticed the participation waning since I joined. The responses for the most part fall into three groups ...
Let me preface by saying there are a lot of FB groups for Belize but the main expat one can be very nasty and unhelpful. There are many keyboard ninjas who feel comfortable being jerks online. If you know of a particular community you plan to move ... Read More
Motorcycles (Harleys) in Corozal by Audeamus
Just wondering how much people ride motorcycles around Corozal area? Do you ever see Harley Davidson's around there? I am considering bring mine down when we move. Thanks Toby
Yeah. It looks like the Harley shop there isnt a real bike shop. I'll have to try to find a mechanic that is comfortable working on my bike I guess. Its a smaller bobber bike, not a big cruiser, and gas here is about 5 USD so I'm pretty ... Read More

Hello everyone, During one聮s big move abroad, shipping personal belongings to the host country can be stressful. Customs regulations differ from one country to another and you never quite know what to expect when trying to recover your belongings ...
If the FORUM is going to post broad questions for all countries actuallyaskig for experiences it seems odd that it then takes down/moderates posts from those sharing their experiences. If you are worried the question is going to provoke names or ... Read More

ADO has frequent busses from Cancun to Belize. The buses are air conditioned and nice some even have movies available. Check their website for prices and schedule. I have heard that some people have had items stolen while on the busses. It was items ... Read More
