Hi Julian.
Capital idea and happy to introduce myself. My name is Adam. I am from the UK originally but have lived around the world and the last seven years in the USA where I got my MBA and have been working ever since in Consulting, Operations and Organizational Development (you will notice I write in American English, very much Americanized by now:-)).
I am strongly looking to relocate to Belize in September and would like to establish some online friendships to garner differing perspectives on other expats move to Belize and live since they arrived.
I have questions, as I am guessing you all do/did before you moved and would like to do some friendly Q&A on common issues such as moving, career, social life et al. I have done a lot of research already on the visa process and work permits but there is always other questions such as cost of living and good and bad spots to avoid in terms of where to live.
Have tried to go through this on another Belize expat forum but got nothing but responses on 'just read our 1000000s of posts over the last xx years, they will answer your questions, reading doesn't hurt you know' which was very standoffish and would like to avoid that same experience again. I find its always friendlier and quicker to write something helps people rather spend twice the energy being negative and unhelpful. But I am mainly looking to compare different expat experiences not piecemeal random bits of info to get part of my questions answered. You know what I mean anyway.lol.
Anyway, looking forward to the sun, culture, beach, swimming and doing some awesome photography of the great architecture and if any of you love to shutterbug maybe we can form a regular photography walk!
Please feel free to drop me a line and looking forward to getting to know some or all of you.
Thanks guys!
Adam
