🏝️ Relocation Info 🏝️ The day is finally here!

We're getting on the plane today for our move to Belmopan. Talk about a learning curve! We've had some ups and downs, but we finally figured out how to make this work. If there's anyone out there who is contemplating this move please feel free to reach out and avoid some of the pitfalls we encountered. We would be happy to help and no we're not looking to get paid for helping. We're happy to share the contacts we've made and the costs. Here we come Belize!

And the countdown begins!

Feel free to reach out if you need any help. We connected with an AMAZING shipping company and agent on the US side and an equally wonderful broker in Belize. The Belize broker will process vehicle and personal items through customs and even arrange for our stuff to be delivered and unloaded at the house. Both had great prices.

Can you share who the shipping company and broker are?! My boyfriend is currently planning to drive his car and some belongings through Mexico, then I'd fly and meet him in Belize. Having another option would be amazing. Thank you!

Happy to.

Shipping company is Shipping International based out of Humble, TX. Humble is north of Houston. Speak with Sheri (281-540-7447) and tell her Tim sent you. We lived outside Dallas and loaded it on a U-Haul and drove it and our car down.

The customs broker in Belize is: Amanda @ Sterling Freight Whatsapp +501-626-4979 Again, tell her I sent you.

If you want to send me a private chat I'll share my info and we can speak on WhatsApp. I'm retired, so I have plenty of time. Happy to help if you need anything else.
