Study reveals what expats REALLY think about living overseas

Virginia Krohn

Name of Your Company or Organization: Villa Cayo Belize
About Me: I am not only the owner of Villa Cayo but I designed, drew the plans and built the villas. I am also a real estate broker and the owner of Belize Live-Retire-Invest which is myself and a group of expats dedicated to helping other people relocate to Belize.

Originally from Texas I am a sculptor, painter and a custom home builder who knows how to pay attention to detail. After visiting Belize in the '80s my husband and I returned to the states, sold our home and business and relocated to Belize in 1991. Living on the beach for almost 20 years just 60' from that beautiful teal water was magical. As the island changed the magic did disappear and the new dream became building a luxury Eco-resort in the jungle.

One of the best things I like about Belize is that I can afford to have someone help run our business, have a housekeeper and a gardener which allows me the time to do the creative things I want to do while providing jobs for talented Belizeans.
