Belize surprised us in so many ways—some good, some… not so much. From crossing the border and experiencing the vibrant Caribbean culture to unexpected challenges that cut our trip short, this episode is packed with everything you should know before visiting Belize. We break down what we loved, what went wrong, and whether Belize is the right destination for your next trip.

After an unexpected break, we’re back. In this episode, we talk about why we paused the podcast, what’s been happening behind the scenes, and the realities of balancing travel, content creation, and life on the road. We also share what’s next for What No One Tells You.
