Belize

Squeezed between Mexico and Guatemala, this small country punches way above its weight. I trekked through dense jungle, explored caves that felt like portals to another world, and wandered uncrowded archaeological sites where you can actually feel the history without fighting through tour groups. Flip to the coast, and you've got Caribbean beaches with warm turquoise water, laid-back islands, and some of the richest marine life I've seen — perfect for diving, snorkeling, or just soaking it all in.

I was impressed by the variety of landscapes this country has to offer. Lush green jungle and warm climate in the north, colonial towns full of life with amazing volcanoes surrounding you, and deep blue lakes with breathtaking views. Wherever I was in Guatemala, I loved it!
