This message board is one of the best ever!.... Specifically because we can share our experiences as visitors, residence, naturalized citizens and nationals........ The broad subject of moving to Belize has so many aspects it can be overwhelming......Therefore, I would like to share with you something told to me by a couple of Women who I admire and have a great relationship with on this island. These are Ladies of Belize one from the Mainland and one from San Pedro... we were talking about so many people who want to move here and be a part of Belize, some want to own businesses and others just want to relax.....The advice these ladies suggest I give to people is simple ......"Smile More and Think Less" ..... when it seems like such a challenge just to open a bank account; practice this advice, you just might find things become a lot easier............Good Luck.
