From its azure sea shores to its jungle interior, Belize has great natural beauty—blue water, deserted beaches, and inland retreats where you can explore Mayan ruins, tall waterfalls, rainforests, and rivers. It also offers a lifestyle that is relaxed, gentle…and affordable. It’s also got one of the world’s best residence options and real estate prices you won’t find anywhere else in the Caribbean. Escape to Belize: Everything You Need to Know to Retire Better, Invest Well, and Enjoy the Good Life for Less will take you step-by-step through this stable, English-speaking democracy and give you a head start in enjoying its benefits.

To give you the very best introduction to Belize and a preview of what you’ll actually see and experience firsthand in this special country, we videotaped a special presentation given recently by Ann Kuffner, your International Living Belize correspondent.

From Ambergris Caye to Placencia, Punta Gorda, the Cayo District, and beyond… This special video presentation will have you scrambling to get your tickets to pay a visit to this country Ann calls home. She knows it well and she wants to share it all… up close and personal… with you.

Think of the best of the Caribbean - clear, blue skies...long, white, sandy beaches...warm, gentle waters lapping at the shore...a soft breeze swaying the palm trees overhead-and Belize is where you'll find it.

From its Caribbean shores to its jungle interior, this nation has great natural beauty to recommend it. Not least of which is a government program designed to entice you to retire and spend more time in Belize—once you are at least 45-years-old. In this special report, we’ll show how you can take full advantage of this special legislation. You’ll be welcomed as a permanent resident with a pathway to citizenship and a second passport.

It’s so easy to find yourself stuck on the treadmill of life…trapped in an endless cycle of work, eat, sleep; work, eat, sleep. Long commutes in heavy traffic, soul-killing work and the constant fear of lay-offs and downsizing. If you’ve ever asked yourself, is this all there is, we’re here to tell you no, it’s not. There is a better life waiting for you—and the weather is a lot better there too. Best of all, you don’t have to wait until retirement age to live the life you love…thousands of Americans with an entrepreneurial spirit have traded in their daily drudgery in the U.S. and headed for sunnier climes and a brighter future abroad. In the process they have found not only new livelihoods, but new lives.
