Thanks Belize City, I admit I was very worried, but you did extraordinarily well today.

After waking up with the sunrise and feeling like there might be some hope in this new adventure of mine after all – I was picked up and taken to work.. passing by the seafront.. palm trees!

The office was very inspiring on many levels, first with the utterly friendly welcome breakfast and my new happy colleagues, meetings and defining my work priorities for the months to come, setting things up, lunch with colleagues by the sea – where we even managed to find a nice vegan option! – getting my new sim card and 4G connection, and then a proper after work with the other newly recruited international staff member. And as a cherry on top, I was driven home by a super friendly driver recommended by the office – who just called to say he had probably found me a car.

And.. I might be signing contract for an apartment this weekend.

I shall embrace and rock this.
