wow...your all very supportive...i think. its not like im coming down there expecting open arms or anything and its also not like im some idiot who thinks everything falls into my lap. im a very independent guy and not a fool when it comes to getting by and making it in life. my aunts moving into her new home, shes got a bunch of friends down there and for the time being im going to be doing stuff for her to make some money but if my stay becomes permenant then ill figure something else out. and none of you have a clue of what it takes for me to get by, im a survivor. my life in the states has turned sour and im just a person who enjoys making bold moves in life...cant hate me for that.

and thanks a lot jesse for being supportive. i hope i run into people like you once i make this move.

as i have learned haha. and whats up with that other guys crack comment? doesnt he know crack is whack

Jam give it a shot. Most of these on the board are about 70x older than you anyways and have a different outlook. I moved there at 28 and had a blast. 20 is old enough to try and young enough to fail and laugh about later. Have fun.

thanks alot canam. where did you come from? and doing crack is just chasing and chasin...very sad

I'm glad to see a post from Jesse that I wholeheartedly agree with.

damn. All I know is I'm jealous as hell. Godspeed jamflowman!

i think the essence of what all these wise and experienced folks are getting at is, think really hard before you do this, make sure you are willing to chance going without a job. might be easy, might not. if going moving there was easy, tons of us would be going too. read the living in belize threads, run searches for info on this board, get a real idea of what life in san pedro is like - its good and bad, whatever. no one wants to burst your bubble, just do your homework.

over the years, the most common advice i read is to spend a few months in any foreign country before considering moving permanently.

Jealous that he is 20 or moving

thats just the thing i really dont have anything to lose. and making decisions like this is what i live for...the adrenaline and sense of adventure gets my blood flowing and the caliber of personality shows
