What should I pack when moving to Belize?
We asked people living in Belize to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"If you’re retiring here, bring summer clothes. Raincoat and a sweater are a good idea too. People are pretty informal here, anything dressy you want to bring is up to you. We brought suitable clothes for church but other than some nice capris and a pair of jeans, I’m pretty well in shorts, T-shirts and sandals most of the time," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Carmelita Gardens, Belize.
"We just returned from a house hunting trip & have rented a home near Dangriga (In Sanctuary Reserve deveopment) We plan to bring essentials with us & ship our furniture & household goods once we have gained QRP status," commented one expat who made the move to Belize.
