I am reading a book called Free to Focus by Michael Hyatt, and it talks about the importance of unplugging. Last week for the first time in a year, I took the boat out and went fishing. It’s sad how I live in such a beautiful place, and I don’t do more diving and fishing. That will change as I will start to record videos of my life in Belize more often, so you can see what life is like here. I do love to take my lunch break at my favorite places and enjoy the quietness of the sea…

If you’ve been following our blog for a while now, you’d know that Belize is not only a fantastic place to live and travel, but it also prioritizes the health and safety of all who visit and live here.

Living in Belize, it’s no surprise that I take advantage of every opportunity to enjoy the fresh air and beautiful sights doing activities like diving and fishing. And another outdoor hobby of mine is target shooting. Last week when I shared a little about my trip to Dallas, one thing I didn’t mention was that after our two-day training, my fellow fund managers and I set aside some time to network…
Let me start by saying this is NOT a political article on whether you are for or against Trump. It’s how to legally pay as little tax as possible.
