I am a 37 year old female looking to make this a permanent visit to Ambergris Caye/Belize from NJ USA. I do not know anyone down there except a few locals I met on my last visit. Can anyone give me some pointers on where I can find a safe apartment, work, friends, and any other words of wisdom that may make my transision easier and more informed? PS My arrival is planned for November 1, 2007.

Hit all the local drinking establishments for meeting people! That is the easy part!

Good luck to you!

Sounds like a good plan!

Single female fron NJ should not have any problems at all finding friends and a free place to stay....especially in Nov, right before high season. Enjoy the ride.

Hey we are from NJ, where in Joisey? Been in Belize five years now and loving it. Not on the Cayes though.

so easy to meet people here and so many great people to meet.

Hi...34 year old female...just moved here by myself from NYC (originally from Ridgewood, NJ) about 6 months ago. Would be glad to chat, meet up. You'll love it. I promise.

OH MY GAWD!!!! Just kidding, I don't really talk like that. I hope!

I am nervous right now only because of the solo thing but can't wait. How did you do it? Are you by yourself or with spouse?

Try Wet Willy's on Friday nights there's usually a large crowd of ex-pats between 5pm and 9pm.
