Belize

Central America is so much more than “that skinny bit” connecting two great continents – this isthmus (yes, there’s a word for that) packs a mighty punch on its own.

“As I crack open a cold one and let Wish Willy know that I’ll have the lobster for the exorbitant price of $15, I think to myself: have I discovered paradise on earth?”

If you like the jungle and you like the ocean, chances are you’ll like Belize. This Central American country might be small but it’s quite the nature-filled stunner.

There are some things people generally assume about Belize. They assume it’s sunny, that the vibes are always good, and that the ceviche is the best ceviche ever. Take it from me, all of the above applies, but tenfold in Caye Caulker.

Yes, there’s incredible ruins in nearby nations such as Guatemala, Belize and Honduras too… and we’re here to tell you about them. 

Central America’s little-country-that-could is due for a tourism boom, but if you hurry, you can still beat the crowds. Belize it.

The beach is the salty engine that drives global tourism. But why? What draws us to the ocean?
