I hope everyone had a wonderful New Years Day. It seems 2021 is picking up where 2020 left off. I try to look for the positive in everything and in 2020, I was able to get grounded, focused, and worked to get organized. I’m on my way with a great team in place to help.

I’m sure you may have already heard, but I can finally say with full confidence that as of October 19, 2020, you are free and welcome to visit, look at properties, and explore the beautiful place I call home… Belize. Since reopening to international leisure travel, incoming flights have been at more than 80% capacity, filled with eager travelers who are ready to enjoy Belize even with the restrictions.
