Belize suits me because I'm active and I like diving. I learnt when I was 18, in Thailand, and I have dived in Vietnam, which wasn't great, the Red Sea, which was incredible and reasonably priced, and then the Maldives, which is like being submerged in an aquarium. ↗

If we don't change, millions of American families are just one medical emergency, or one layoff, away from financial disaster and bankruptcy. ↗
