Remember I said I am here to work not play, so I haven’t been to any touristy places yet. Being in a developing country is truly eye opening and I believe that every citizen in a developed country should experience what it’s like to be in a developing country. When countries like the US go into a recession it is not necessarily ideal. But it really is nothing compared to what developing countries go through. I see all these signs about human trafficking…and it just stops me dead in my tracks and makes me think.

I take so many things for granted back in the US. Still it looks like everyone is enjoying themselves.

What do you think?

  • love the pictures esp. the first one! tropical fruit! hope you're having a fabulous time!! i leave soon too ahhhhh!
  • Oh wow. Have a safe trip!!! I can't wait to see what pictures you come up
    with. You'll be sharing pictures right? RIGHT??
  • you have a very good point Tellie, yes, the recession we are seeing here is nothing compared to what the people in developing countries go through, i still dream of a day where education would also be a right in my country just as it is here in US
  • I'm glad you are having a great time. Visiting developing countries really makes you appreciate what you have. Thanks for reminding me.
  • coming from a "developing country" I can appreciate what you've written.

    so often, people ask me what life is like at home and how i could possibly live there and i find it so hard to explain. people just live.
  • Art
    Beautiful! I'm hoping to go to Belize in a few months, but there's also Colombia or Brazil...so hard to choose. Have a great trip!
  • But Belize is soooo pretty, why not scheduling in lots of time to play too? :D lucky you to be in such paradise, I wanna go too :D

  • I was in Belize in November and I fell in love. The food, the people, the weather, everything. It's just so amazing. The minute my bf and I got back from our individual excursions there we just looked at eachother and said "we have to move here when we retire." I love it there.
