We Went to Placencia to Do Nothing at All

It’s impossible to attend all the events in one year! I’m super impressed at how our tiny nation can put together so much celebratory […]
Rebecca Rath, Belize’s Newly Crowned Warrior
I never met Rebecca Rath before the Miss Belize Universe 2016 pageant, yet I became instantly drawn to her spirit. I’m an observer. I’ve been known to overanalyse things quite a bit.
