From the UK to Belize: The Real Cost of Living

[@theoriginaldirtbikejoe7636]

I moved to Belize in 2023. (retired from USA) I live in Santa Elena, Cayo Belize. I rent a small house and live comfortably on $1000 USD. I'm as happy as I've ever been . Love it here.

Hi. We are thinking to move frim UK. Is it possible to find the job in tourist sector?

[@theoriginaldirtbikejoe7636]

@@alienking2015 Coming to Belize and trying to work here is not advised unless its on line. Or start a new tour company here... The tourist industry here is one place that the locals all want to be in. The only way for you to be hired would be if they couldn't fill it here with locals.

Thanks for sharing this informative video on the rich & vibrant country of Belize. Jah Bless!

Such an Awesome and informative video. I am thinking about moving to Belize from USA. She is a great person and so friendly. Hopefully I can bump into her in Corozal Belize someday soon. ❤

You can't get much land for $6k in Belize. You are looking at 10x at least. Belize is not cheap. Food prices are similar to here in Canada Ontario. Lots of Chinese stores. For furniture or tools you are looking at 3-5x the price that is in Canada.

I am shocked at the low cost of living compared to here in Guadeloupe. Thanks for this very interesting episode!

[@ExodusCollective]

I know me too. Maybe I picked the wrong destination 😂

[@PurplePillRiches]

Guadeloupe and Martinique are French territories so I'm not surprised. 😂

[@brovayurbee6102]

Just purchased a few lots in San Pedro Belize.

[@KeyserSolze]

What was the cost, trying to decide between Costa Rica or Belize.

[@brovayurbee6102]

@@KeyserSolze I am on the Island of Ambergris Caye, prices range from 20k - 150k depending on certain factors. road access, no road access, beach front, close to beach front. Research secret beach.

Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@sh4969]

I never thought in my life being British I would ever leave the UK but I'm really considering doing it, for me it was Belize first never setting up a business in Belize.

[@DoyinVoice]

6,000 usd for 6 acres of land?! And rich soil for farming??

[@MerlissaWorrell]

I'm interested in something like this, how can I reach you

[@ariesprince9730]

I don’t think that’s accurate . the cheapest I’ve seen 6acres for ..is around $80,000

[@Forgftd5436]

Thanks for sharing this.

I'M COMING... LIVED IN MEXICO FOR NEARLY FOUR YEARS NOW.

[@TheRealUncensoredTravelGuide]

I’ve considered it ever since my friend said a co-worker goes to a villa 3 months per year. I’m looking at here and Chile 🇨🇱

Hi is belize safe? Where are the safest towns?

[@cornelisverhoef9282]

Nice to see you're not falling into the trap of buying lots of (imported) food because without a peanut butter jelly sandwich, your life would be incomplete. When I was in Belize in the '90's I heard lots of American expats bitching about the price of Kellog's cornflakes and other imported stuff they seemingly couldn't live without.

[@JosephTochukwu-ec9ou]

I would like to move to belize, can you be of help in providing the necessary guide and assistance. Thank you

[@steve9621]

Hi Joseph. I moved to Belize from U.S. two years ago. A good place to start gathering information is a YT channel named “ International Living” by Laura Difandal. ( spelling?) She provides accurate and reliable information. Check out all of her videos.

[@nunuyolan1771]

How do we get in touch with her if we’d like to consult with her about the legalities of buying land there?

[@charmainehutchinson7281]

This is my personal opinion- I think some of the information on the site is not too accurate for example Gas is $5.00 US per gallon Apartment is $500-1000Bze depending on the location Punta Gorda is the cheapest place to live but there are setback Belmopan, San Ignacio , Belize city - corazal and orange walk are more expensive, $1000 US per month depending on you life style - It could be cheaper or more expensive Belize is the most beautiful place I’m live and I’m live and travel to many countries- Ig you want to get a true Belize experience visit thr place and at stay for a month - visit the farmer market ,food store , churches , stay with the local people not with the tourist Belize Is a farming county so food is cheap

[@JN003]

where would be a safe place, with decent internet speed and high quality gym nearby....(thx!)

[@rosahacketts1668]

She isn't Caribbean is she? Very interesting.

[@bronze2811]

She’s Somali I think

[@otisboakye9831]

Hi, l like your video. l am planning to move to Beliize but l am finding difficulties in booking the ticket .l am teacher in vietnam.please l want you to help me if there is a way thank you.

[@deanhamilton9280]

The best way to buy land without all that kayos is to get a real-estate lawyer.

[@patriciavandevelde5469]

Do you have a name of a lawyer?

[@vershaletyus7509]

Who is selling privately owned land in Belize? Hit me up!

[@spmqqse5621]

the cost, in this dangerous and corrupt country... might be your life.

[@JahBlessTravels]

Is there any country that’s not corrupt and dangerous these days? Any suggestions?

[@psycobutcute]

​@@JahBlessTravels crime danger and corruption is everywhere. Negative Nancy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@JahBlessTravels]

@@psycobutcute Indeed, nowhere is perfect for people. Just perfect for every other species.

[@sctbsctb1620]

The problem is getting adjusted to the abject poverty image in Belize. There is really no “nice” neighborhood unless you want to move to San Pedro. Most of the homes are made of cinder block or wood planks and are not very stylish, but that is the culture. It is a very poor country and finding a comparable lifestyle like you would in the UK or US would be hard to find unless you move to San Pedro. That is not to say you can’t live well in other communities it will just be a very poor “looking” community. However don’t let that fool you. The neighborhood may look poor/ghetto but the people could have more money than you. They are humble people and are not outwardly flashy.

[@JahBlessTravels]

@@sctbsctb1620 I see alot of value and natural beauty on my last visit to Belize. As a Jamaican/American I felt right at home there in Belize. It’s a great second option out the US/Europe/Canada/Australia. Visit three separate cities there and still it a top pick for a second home.
