Welcome to from snow to sun. When we bought our most recent home back in 2014. I thought we had found our forever home. Somewhere to settle down and live our day to day lives. Grow old and retire there.
I was wrong… So very wrong.
As someone who has always found comfort in the familiarity of a quieter lifestyle alongside my spouse Raymond. The idea of embarking on an adventure seemed foreign at best. While I found contentment in our day-to-day routines, Raymond had always possessed a more forward-thinking mindset. Envisioning a future that extended beyond our current horizons. Unbeknownst to me, he had quietly been compiling a list of potential retirement destinations, carefully considering each option and weighing the possibilities.
So, when an email unexpectedly popped up in my inbox in December 2021. Featuring a captivating YouTube video highlighting the enchanting allure of Belize. I was both intrigued and entirely unaware of the profound journey that lay ahead. What initially began as a casual watch soon evolved into a momentous turning point in our lives. Hours later, as I found myself staring at a detailed flight itinerary to Belize displayed on my screen. The gravity of our impending journey struck me with a force I hadn’t anticipated.
It became abundantly clear that we weren’t merely embarking on a vacation. Rather, we were embarking on a soul-stirring expedition deep into the heart of Belize. From the verdant jungles of San Ignacio to the tranquil coastal vistas of Corozal Town. Our mission was clear: to explore the possibility of this vibrant country becoming our future retirement haven. With a heady mix of eager anticipation and nervous excitement coursing through our veins. We made the courageous decision to step out of our comfort zones and into the unknown. Bidding farewell to the familiar wintry landscapes of Newfoundland, Canada, and immersing ourselves in the vibrant warmth and undeniable charm of Belize. This dear friends, is the story of our extraordinary voyage. journey that transformed our tranquil suburban existence into a thrilling odyssey through the dynamic landscapes of Central America.
