🌍

Belize City is a small city of roughly 61,000 people right by the sea in Belize. The climate is tropical. It keeps a balanced mix of locals and visitors though personal safety is worth weighing carefully. A typical month of living costs around $1,350. Healthcare is reasonable, and the internet can be patchy for heavy remote work. People come here for diving, swimming, quiet days.

È uno dei posti dove vivere fuori rete è davvero praticabile, sia per legge sia per spazio. Chi nasce in Belize è cittadino, quale che sia la nazionalità dei genitori. Il reddito prodotto all’estero in genere non viene tassato qui.
