Belize · tropical
Caye Caulker is a village of roughly 2,000 people on an island in Belize. The climate is tropical. It has a lively, popular feel with average safety for the region. A typical month of living costs around $1,450. Healthcare is limited, so serious care may mean travelling, and the internet is generally reliable. People come here for diving, swimming, quiet days.
È un’isola ben collegata d’estate e molto meno d’inverno, e questo cambia molto per chi ci vive tutto l’anno. 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.
