Belize is a little paradise in the Caribbean's.

Growing up in the mid sixties and seventies it was underdeveloped and not well known.

It is remembered with fond memories of my life and times spent with my family, extended family, friends and acquaintances.

My heritage is mixed with white, black and Mayan Indian which is not uncommon for Belize as it is a melting pot for diverse ethnicity and mixed culture.

People from many different parts of the world call Belize home.

Go back in time with me as I share a much different way of living life, from the way we prepared and cook our food, getting immunized, transportation, attending school, to growing up in the country in a large family with no running water, electricity nor plumbing, farming, religion, celebrating holidays and many more fascinating facts.

Growing up third world nothing was done the short or easy way. Most of our foods was served from farm to table and although I did not know it then, our food was also grown organically.

For the first seventeen years of my life I lived in Belize (formally known as British Honduras). A peaceful and democratic country, Belize is a jewel with lush rainforest, Mayan monuments, mountains, pristine beaches and among many other attractions Belize boasts the second largest unbroken barrier reef in the world, the magnificent Blue Hole that attracts scuba divers from around the globe and the only designated Jaguar preserve in the world.

I am honored to share these experiences with you.
