Bijou Belize, Big Adventures

Burnished rays give their last hurrah over Dangriga

Belize proves the theory that size doesn’t matter. This tiny landmass tacked onto the Yucatan peninsula – between Mexico and Guatemala – is the site of extraordinary adventure and discovery.

Find out more about the dizzying diversity of this often overlooked country – at once Caribbean and Central American – in my new guidebook Belize: A Great Destination – part of the Explorer’s Guide series, available for pre-order on Amazon.

Get yourself a copy and get acquainted with little-known Mayan ruins,
unexplored villages, and secluded nature reserves as well as hip hotspots and hotels. Inside, you’ll find the back-story on Belizean history and contemporary culture to get under the skin of this eclectic nation. It’s replete with advice for adventure addicts and inspiration for your own explorations of reefs, cayes, waterfalls, and winding jungle trails. Watch this space for regular tasters – from photography to video clips – and information on my London launch.

Explorer's Guide Series, Belize first edition

The ultimate guidebook to authentic adventures

Online, on the airwaves and on the streets

Today I’m off to Puebla in central Mexico to experience its gastronomic and cultural Baroque Festival (Festival Barroquisimo). More on that later.

It’s been a busy fortnight. On Good Friday (10 April) I was interviewed by Australia’s national ABC radio about my experiences of Mexico’s Easter (Semana Santa) celebrations. I’ll be uploading the media file once I have it.

A few days later Countryman Press commissioned me to write their first Explorer’s Guide to Belize. I’m a big fan of the bijou Central American country so I can’t wait to get to know it in greater depth.

In addition, I’ve been capitalising on my political expertise to provide comment to China’s Xinhua News Agency on landmark security reforms in Guatemala. I’ll post the link as soon as it goes live.

Happy Friday!
