I often find things better than I was informed they would be... But then I have mostly been an optimist.

That sound snot so great actually, fortunately my experience and friends made there are not as such. i know of what some if you say is truth and straight up and it is a sad thought at time but Belize as a whole is such a beautiful country! it deserves, from my perspective, a better rating聽 (for lack of a better word)
聽 聽 Well, this is a loaded topic!聽 where do I begin? I live near Cayo and have found my life here very lonely as an older female. To make contacts I originally joined a yoga class and found the members not friendly and clicky, I then joined a tai chi class found I was the only member, later the yoga class members moved over to that class so it was the same gang. I tried volunteering but Belizians are afraid of their jobs and the fact you maybe better-educated clouds their judgment. The village near where I live is 60 years behind in their attitude towards women, Machismo is the order of the day, women are treated as second-class citizens by their men. Once living or married together couples do not recreate together and the woman's role is merely to cook, clean, produce babies and provide sex. The men generally do not want their women to work, control the finances and control the whole life of the women. The level of alcohol abuse by the guys is terrible, coupled with violence and domestic abuse and pedophilia, cousins marrying cousins are common in this area. Some of the Machismo attitudes come from the cultural norms of Central America, many people here are from neighbouring countries. Foreigners are not welcomed after the donations cease and the majority of people we have come into contact are two-faced.聽 The young women in this area have little prospects if they do not attend school, they have few role models and fall into the trap of early pregnancy and large families like their grandmothers. I see They are also prayed upon as early as 10. I am a well-traveled female, lived in different countries, a Belizian from the diaspora and ashamed of my government who propagate sexism and inequality. Please note these are my findings from my area only so I do not speak for the whole of Belize.

鈥淩esentments waiting to be formed鈥� love that statement聽

聽 聽 Expectations are nothing more than Resentments waiting to be formed.I moved to Belize understanding what I was getting myself into. I came here with NO expectations what so ever....I've yet to be disappointed in 10+ months.

Hello

I am new to expat.com. I am a 73 year old fit woman and American feeling displaced in a rural narrow minded town, and post election, feel more motivated to seek another country.

I enjoyed your article, since you touched on subjects about the culture that are concerns I wondered about.

I have been interested in Belize for years, but may want to seek out a place more in alignment with less deeply rooted patriarchal or religious leanings..

I聽 want to spend about two years to explore other countries where women are less pigeon holed, with access to good healthcare, good climate, and healthy food.

Are you still in Belize? Are there other countries on your radar or are you there to stay?

Thankyou for your thoughtful article and replying!
