Travel News

How far did I travel this week?:

I traveled to Dangriga this weekend. Dangriga is about a two hour bus ride South of Belmopan. The ride takes you through the beautiful hills and lush rainforest. I went there to celebrate being in Belize for over a year with some of the other Peace Corps Volunteers in my cohort. It was lovely!

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

I've stayed in Belmopan my whole time here in Belize, but here are the districts in Belize to which I've travelled for work and vacation, along with how far away they are from my home:

  • San Ignacio - 50 minute bus ride
  • Benque Viejo del Carmen - one and a half hour bus ride
  • Orange Walk - three and a half hour bus ride 
  • Belize City - one hour bus ride 
  • Dangriga - two hour bus ride 
  • Placencia - two hour and 15 minute bus ride
  • Punta Gorda - five hour bus ride 
How did I get around this week?:

Most days this week, I walked when I was going to work or school. I did take a taxi to my host mom's for a karaoke night. Then, on the way to Dangriga, I took the bus! 

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

I went to North Carolina last weekend to visit my grandma. I know some of you might have been to North Carolina before, but for me it was really interesting to be back in America for a quick trip.
