Greetings All!

I'm a single gal from the US and a writer. I am planning on coming to Belize possibly the first part of February for at least 3 months and possibly 5 or 6 months.

I need to rent a cabin... or a tree house... something cozy and NOT fancy at all. My biggest requirement is CLEAN :-D! I also need a kitchen as I love to fish and want to eat all of the local and wonderful fruits and veggies... and I write cookbooks! Having the internet available would be a real plus but if that's not reality, then I would need to be within walking or bicycle distance of an internet cafe.

I've done a ton of research but have never been to Belize (however, have traveled internationally a lot and solo)... In my research and with some very kind email responses (I already feel as if I have new friends in Belize!)... I think the Hopkins area is where I would love to be...

Can anyone please help me with some contacts for an extended rental in the Hopkins area? It would be much appreciated!

Also, I've seen photos online of the Hopkins Pre-School and am wondering what I would need to do to explore doing some volunteering while I am there (no, I don't have much money... that's why I need a reasonable rental... but I'd love to do some giving back while I'm there). Thanks!

Thank you in advance :-D... I can't wait to get to Belize and am hoping that it will eventually be my "permanent address!"
Warm regards,
Jan
