Why study, do an internship, volunteer or work temporarily in Belize?

• because you won't have to deal with a language barrier there, only a different English accent.
• because in Belize there are many opportunities for study and work in both nature and (indigenous) culture.
• because Belizeans like to live in harmony with their society, with great respect for others (including foreigners).
• because your colleagues are often helpful, friendly and interested.
• because Belizeans like to help you slow down, adjust your pace of study or work to suit the country.
• because it is a relatively small country and therefore incredibly easy to explore; both the interior (natural parks), the coast (coral reefs) and the many islands.

What should you pay attention to?

• The pace in Belize is generally very relaxed (so screw your own pace back).
• Belizeans live by the day and (time) appointments are very flexible.
• The (work) culture in Belize is very cordial, but can sometimes be surprisingly formal.
• Pay time and attention to small talk (in Belize: family, sports, etc.) and let your conversation partner start with business talk.
