Travel blogger Christy Woodrow may live in California, but the moment she’s able to get away, she’s on a plane to somewhere exotic. She believes that life is too short not to travel abroad, especially during the holidays, because it forces folks to get outside their comfort zones, making them more independent in addition to helping them escape everyday boredom. Additionally, international travel establishes relationships with other travelers that shape long-term friendships.
But it can be expensive and time-consuming to go abroad when factoring in jet lag, the necessity of learning another language and mastering another currency, which is exactly why Belize is fast becoming the go-to destination for holiday travelers who love the idea of flying a few hours to a nation where everyone speaks English. 
Toss in the benefit of no winter weather ruining your holiday and it makes perfect sense to get away. Will you miss the trappings of Christmas and New Year’s Eve? Not if you decide to stay at the San Ignacio Resort Hotel where a spectacular Yuletide celebration awaits every guest in an elegant setting and where the staff is dedicated to doing everything it takes to host a relaxing holiday season will be at your beck and call.
