Ever notice that most expatriates are adventure seekers? They are the ones who really are on the go and are quite the risk takers. The question now is where is the perfect place for them to pick out a house?
Belize lies in Central America where it is bordered by Mexico to the north and Guatemala to the southwest. This is the only country in Central America that has a British colonial heritage; therefore, English is the country's main language, making it rather easy for tourists, expatriates and retirees. Although, there are other languages spoken as well in the area since there's an eclectic mix of races.
Despite the mix in races and other indigenous groups, the people in Belize live in harmony and peace with their daily lives.
With so many things to do in the country, no one will ever get bored while living or visiting the place. The country of Belize is one of the most diverse places on earth. Aside from the attractive white sandy beaches the country offers, there are rich forests and mountains that surround the area, making it possible to go hiking, camping and trekking for enthusiasts and tourists.
The Belize real estate industry has managed to market modest homes for expatriates and retirees willing to leave their past and create a new future in the country. Therefore, finding a place for these people is quite a breeze.
One of the best places they can purchase a home in Belize would be the 24-hour gated community of Sanctuary Belize. Aside from tight security, the community has so much more to boast for. Located in the southern part of Belize and only a few hours from the Mayan pyramids, it is nestled between two wildlife reserves. The place thrives in pure natural beauty. There are several bridle paths that are long and winding that is perfect for strolls either by walking or by horseback through Sanctuary Belize's equestrian center exclusive for their residents.
One of the most popular water activities would be scuba diving. The Great Blue Hole, which is considered to be one of the best diving spots in the world, is one place recreational divers shouldn't miss out on. Here, they can experience clear blue waters and get to swim with rare species of sharks such as nurse sharks, Caribbean reef sharks and so much more.
Snorkeling is also a favorite water activity for the children and those who have not yet acquired their diving license.
Sports fishing has gotten a popular following during the last couple of years, especially among the older expatriates and tourists. Both fly fishing and traditional fishing have been the rage for people who took it as a hobby.
Even doing nothing in these parts of the world can be as rewarding. Sitting still while maintaining that peace of mind and appreciating the surrounding's natural beauty can be quite something hard to take away. You can always just relax and head on to any of the adventures waiting for you to happen.
