Today we’re headed south to the tiny but intriguing country of Belize. Nestled into Central America surrounded by Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras – Belize will capture your imagination. Experience dense rainforest, the second largest barrier reef in the world, phenomenal wildlife, and ancient Mayan culture and history.

Joining me today is Martin Krediet, the General Manager of Turtle Inn. This property is owned by the Coppola family, which explains how every nook is infused with magic and interesting details.

Martin and I talk about everything from whale sharks to Francis Coppola, to puppies, and Mayan Ruins. He tells some amazing stories and really gives us a sense of what it’s like to visit this slice of paradise.
