About Me
My name’s Rebecca. Over 11 years ago I moved from Manhattan, NYC to San Pedro, Belize. NY Bond trader to jobless and unable to work in a foreign country. Holy crap, what a change. I spent a full year deciding if Belize was right for me, over 3 years managing a sometimes gritty bar & restaurant and now 5+ years travelling, living and writing this blog. And for the last 3, helping my boyfriend run Cayo Frances Farm & Fly, a seriously special spot on the west side fo Ambergris.
As you can imagine, I’ve seen the good, awesome, bad and the ugly (though not often). I’ve got lots to say and so here’s my website and my daily blog.
I originally set out to show you all sides of life on the island of Ambergris Caye and now it’s time to expand to the amazing country of Belize. So much to see in one tiny country.
For more information on how and why I moved here, an estimate of how much it costs to live in San Pedro and advice about packing and planning, check out my post series about my expat life.
As always, feel free to contact me with any and all questions you have. Feedback (positive is always preferred but not absolutely mandatory) is also welcome. It’s VERY helpful to me if you try to answer your own question by searching my site. Also, I can NOT find you a job. Honestly…I can’t. I would if I could.
Wow – Not the safest way to do the job. Should have used lights and paved at night?
Hard to Belize it! Don’t think we’d see that in the U.S.! : )
AJ, I don’t even think they have those “night construction” lights down here — that’s why they have to do it during the day!
Emily,
Even a bunch of flashlights would have been better. An aborted take-off would have been very messy.
That’s true, AJ. After seeing how construction is done down here on concrete buildings without hard hats, steel-toed boots, or eye protection, I have to say that that’s just Belize for ya!
