Meet Grace, a tapir at the Belize Zoo 🖤
Part pig, part anteater vibes… but actually related to rhinos, horses, and donkeys!

Tapirs are Belize’s national animal and one of the coolest, weirdest animals you’ll see here.

If you’re looking for things to do in Belize, should be at the to of your list. 🔆

If you’re new here…Hi! 👋

We’re a family who drove an RV from the US to Belize and thought “yeah, we’ll just figure it out” was a solid plan. 😂

This page is a mix of daily life in Belize, RV life, starting over and what it actually looks like to move abroad with a family.

Some of it works. Some of it really doesn’t.

🔆We share it because when we were trying to figure out how to move to Belize (or if we even should) we couldn’t find people showing the messy middle of it.

Not just the curated highlight reel.
Not the wealthy expat or retiree with loads of money.

Just…real people, figuring it out as they go.

So yeah. This is that. Welcome. 💛✨

Slow mornings.

The real peace that comes with waking up and opening your door to sunshine and nature.

Kaya checking on her garden where our tomatoes are turning red and our squash are growing.

Noticing the birds who have come back to their nest from last year.

Not having to hurry through making breakfast with locally baked sourdough, locally made butter and local honey.

We get asked why we moved to Belize.

Honestly… why wouldn’t we?

Florida to Belize. We finally tell the full story of how we moved abroad and started over. We just left…everything. We blew it all up. Everyone had opinions. No one knew how we did it. No one knew why we did it. And no one knew all the s**t that was thrown at us along the way. This podcast is us finally telling it our way. It’s chaotic, it’s heartfelt, it’ll make you say “wtf?!?” and maybe consider shaking up your own plan. Burn the Blueprint podcast launching 2.22.26. 🔥

💥💥💥PART 4 AND THE REVEAL BETCHES💥💥💥

What. A. FAFF. (British slag noun /faf/ an unnecessarily complicated and time-consuming task.)

WE DID IT. IT’S IN. Don’t mind the floors or the backsplash or the open shelving monstrosity above, but THIS PART….this part is done. Or so we thought—our cheap drawer slides did betray us the next day and I (Leyla) managed to shatter the induction cooktop within the first 48 hours…but that’s a story for another time. 😅🫠

EVERYONE SAY “GOOD JOB, TREVOR.”
