The ExPat Dream Takes Hold
BELIEVE IT!!!!!! BELIZE just might be the place where your dreams of an expat life come true!

Relaxing in Belize
Ok, take the test. See if you have an expat life in your future! (This is all in good fun)
The Test
1. Have you spent days at work trying to look like you’re busy and productive ——- when you’re actually fantasizing about becoming an expat!! (YES / NO)
2. Are you staring at that computer screen with glazed eyes ——- but instead of seeing excel spread sheets, you see yourself spreading your towel out on an exotic beach and an afternoon of blissful naps and naughty novels. (YES / NO)
3. You think you’re the next India/Indiana Jones on a mission to seek hidden relics in Mayan temples. Instead you’re seeking new markets for the company. You give your sales pitch to the glazed eyes of potential customers — who are busy daydreaming about their own expat adventures. And thus don’t hear a word you say! (YES / NO)
4. You dream about becoming a world famous botanist who will uncover new medicinal plants and new cures for mankind’s ills. Hey, that Nobel Prize might be next! (YES / NO)
Expat On Your Mind
If you find yourself checking off even one “YES” —– it could be you’re ready to explore more of living abroad.
You are not alone. This is a very common syndrome. And of course, even more so in these financially insecure times when the thought of stretching your dollars makes you to want to stretch your life too ——— and seek a way out. Who doesn’t dream of becoming an ESCAPE ARTIST - leaving it all behind for a saner life; a more satisfying and less stressful lifestyle you can easily afford. Imagine having something left over at the end of each month.
Who doesn’t want that!

Ah, Belize.
I’ve been missing it the last few days. It was Garifuna Settlement Day, when the Garifuna (and most Belizeans) celebrate putting down their roots. i wrote about it a couple days ago, and how I’d love to put down my roots, somewhere.
I don’t need to take the test! I’ve been an expat for the last 2 years (Canada, France, Germany), and once for a year in Belize, too. It’s a great life, if you can manage it. We are WWOOFers, or we’d never make it.
I look forward to meeting you in Belize, for sure it is a tremendous thing to be here !
