Belize is an English-speaking tropical paradise, with an azure Caribbean coast, accessible rainforest, lost jungle cities, and a cost-of-living that makes it affordable for Canadians, Americans, Europeans, as well as the emerging middle class of Mexico and Central America. It is one of the world's most undiscovered secrets, a retirement haven and a safe place to park your money. This book is an introduction to living, working, and retiring in Belize, as well as owning property there. Bob Dhillon introduces the reader to the country, its beauty and friendly people, as well as to its economic attractions. Belize is a moveable feast -- the better you get to know it, the more you will enjoy it.
