Belize Food-Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker
The food of Belize is incredible. With its fresh seafood, ceviche, conch fritters, and street stands serving jerk chicken and pupusas, you could easily spend your entire time eating. Good thing there’s a beautiful beach to distract you! Unless otherwise noted on the captions, these restaurants are found on Ambergris Caye.

Los Colibris Casitas
Todos Santos, Mexico was one of those charming places that captivated me the minute I arrived. If you stay at Los Colibris Casitas, you will never want to leave. I stayed in the La Chucha Casista and was captivated by the stunning view, the rooftop terrace, but more than anything by the genuine hospitality of Bryan and Sergio. In fact, it was staying here that made me want to open my own quaint little hotel and just maybe, one day, if I can stay in one place long enough, I will. They gave me all kinds of advice about where to eat and what to do while I was there.…

You Must Speak Like Water
“You must speak like water,” were the words spoken to me by Rafa, my new friend from Spain. He and his girlfriend, Kristina, were trying to teach me Spanish. I was speaking too slowly for them and not flowing in my words. It was then that I realized this really should be a metaphor for our lives. We should live like water.

Shaping our own paths and influencing other peoples lives. We had met on…

A Perfect Meal At La Teca
Yes, I have had many blissful food moments in my life, but very few that have actually transformed me. Today, I met a woman, who I believe, was even more passionate about cooking than me (and that is hard to do!). To get there I had to take the first taxi that I’ve had to in Oaxaca because this restaurant was a little far from the main tourist area. I considered this a good sign already. But, when I got there, I arrived to find a big black door and a closed garage door at the address. They didn’t appear to be open. However, my timing was perfect as a…

Belize Barrier Reef, Ambergris Caye
If you are looking for a beach escape where you can relax, be transported to a place that tropical dreams are made of, and taste of foods that are absurdly delicious, then Ambergris Caye is your place! The pace is slow, the people are laid back and friendly, and when you go, you will quickly feel like you don’t have a care in the world. The people drive down the streets in golf carts instead of cars, ride their bikes, or just walk. There is a central town area where there is a lot of activity going on, so there is always something to do. The snorkeling off of the Belize…
