✈️ From Wanderlust to Clarity
Belize was the final stop on a two year journey around the world and somehow, this tiny Caribbean-meets-Central-America paradise managed to surprise me more than any other. I arrived with two of my closest friends, a camera roll still full from Italy and Greece and one quiet question in my mind:
Could a destination this small still offer something new?
Spoiler: yes. And not just turquoise water and turtles. Belize taught me something essential about how to plan less and experience more — a principle I now embed in all the trips and I plan and my latest tool – Prompt Your Perfect Trip Workbook.
I’ve always been a water baby at heart. The moment I realised speedboats were Belize’s main mode of transport, I was smitten. Children zipped off to school by public boat, locals commuted across glass clear channels and I felt that childlike awe that comes when a place rewires your definition of “normal.”
Pro Tip: Use AI trip prompts like “water-based transport used by locals, not just tourist cruises.” You’ll uncover itineraries that feel more authentic and local.
Every stop revealed another floating bar strung with hammocks, reggae rhythms and smiling faces. Each one had its own patch of sea roped off for swimming, a sort of adult playground in turquoise.
“Belize feels like the adult version of Disneyland where your ticket is a towel and time doesn’t exist.”
On our first night, we arrived at our stunning resort, Las Terrazas, only to find the kitchen was closed for the evening. Hunger, dusk and a new destination with boat only access… not ideal. But that’s the beauty of travel: flexibility becomes freedom. We found a neighbouring resort, Coco Cabana, after a moonlit stroll along the beach and that detour turned into one of the most memorable nights of the trip.
The next day, Belize revealed its true abundance. Sharks, rays, turtles, monkeys, the kind of biodiversity that makes even seasoned travellers pause. It’s a place that balances adventure with ease: snorkelling one moment, hammocks the next, always underscored by that unmistakable Caribbean rhythm.
Pro Tip: Use prompts like “low impact wildlife encounters and eco guided tours with local operators.” It’s the difference between ticking boxes with generic tourist based activities and feeling present local immersion.
Choose resorts that are boat access only for a true escape
Build in unscheduled time each day for discovery
Pack light, live lighter
Ask AI for options with flexible dining, hammock spots and hidden local walking paths
Belize reminded me that clarity in travel isn’t about over-planning; it’s about trusting your rhythm and allowing space for travel magic to unfold.
My Prompt Your Perfect Trip Workbook was built on this idea, to help travellers teach AI how they travel, so technology curates with you, not for you.
Whether you crave underwater adventures or hammock afternoons, the right prompts turn AI into your personal curator.
