I arrived at Caye Caulker in Belize with a hop, skip and a jump ready to take on the island! Only to be met off the ferry by locals telling me to “Go slow man! Why you have to be in a hurry man? This is island life”. I giggled to myself and did a mental double take to make sure that I was in fact in Belize and not Jamaica. But it’s easy to confuse the two. My senses were flooded with Caribbean breeze, the hum of golf buggies (yup, not a car in sight on this island) reggae tunes and salty dreadlocks. Time slowed to a standstill and I knew instantly that I would soon optimize the term “chillaxed”.
Caye Caulker is breathtakingly beautiful. I met many ex travelers who chanced upon this island and never returned home. It’s easy to understand why; you eat like a king, the ocean hugs you like a warm bath and the local faces are defaulted to “smile mode”.
There are many highlights of my time in Caye Caulker, but if I had to pick a few I’d say… indulging in an absurd amount of hammock time, eating king lobster every night, watching spectacular sunsets from The Split and swimming with sharks, stingrays and seas turtles. Sigh! Remind me why I ever left?

AMAZING!
Thanks Dee!
Gorgeous pictures! And just what I wanted to see. I live on Ambergris Caye…right next door to Caye Caulker…and it’s been cloudy/stormy for two days. Good to see the sun in your pics.
You are so lucky to live on Ambergris Caye. It was so hard for me to leave Belize. I hope the sun shows its face to you again soon! And thank you for your comment! x
Great photos guys!
Gracias Lemerv. xx
Your blog is so amazing, it makes me want to leave the little English village I live in and go exploring!
Thank you so much Kimberly. I honestly can not recommend traveling enough. If you have an itch to go globe trotting, I suggest you get out there and scratch it! xx
Been following you on Instagram for ages now (hello girl crush!) Wow, your travel photos are just amazing. Really inspiring! Totally want to sack the job and do it next year. Enjoy the rest of your trip 🙂

i would like visit there at this week, im from Guatemala, can u recommend me any hotel to my stay in Caye Caulker
It depends on your budget.
I stayed at a cute little hostel called “Da Real Macaw”.
It’s clean and simple. I liked that my room had a little kitchen so I could put cold drinks in the fridge.
Another good hostel is called Yuma’s. I had some friends stay there and they loved it!
If you are looking for more luxury style hotels then I would recommend Sunbreeze Suits!
