On the flight to BZE yesterday, I met a couple who after spending 1 week on AC on holiday were all about moving down to the island.
I am a relative novice to island life--as I have only visited for 1 week at a time (on my 3rd visit now). But, I will tell you this, being a member of this forum and talking to people who live on the island full-time has really opened my eyes to how challenging living in San Pedro can be. It is a beautiful place, with many beautiful people and beautiful things, but as Natalie says...It is not easy to make a living...
I told the couple that I met several things...(that I learned from people on this forum)
- Talk to people who live down there.
- Stay for a month at a time (trial basis, we'll say) @ different time of the year so you can experience all seasons that Belize has to offer.
Also, told them to join this forum. I find it very, very informative when it comes to knowing the "real deal" about life on San Pedro.
thanks for the great advice, I have been reading post after post to get an idea of everyday life in the San Pedro area.
If anyone has any opinions and or information about Pirate's Pizza business, I'd love to hear it. THANKS
you can PM me as well..
much appreciated !
