Solo travel experience
I visited a lot of Caribbean nations and Belize is probably my least favorite. It is a beautiful country with extreme poverty. It is one of the few countries where I really didn't feel too comfortable walking in the city (Belize City). I wouldn't recommend Belize for more than a vacation in Ambergris Cay.

I went by myself last year to Tikal and Great Blue Hole. I stayed throughout Guatemala, San Pedro, and Caye Caulker for two weeks. I felt extremely safe everywhere I went but San Pedro. I didn’t feel in danger in San Pedro, just didn’t seem like an appropriate city to walk around at night as a solo female traveler. I still met some really nice people there when I went for dinner.

I’ve been to Belize solo for a vacation and it was OK (not great just OK). I didn’t feel safe and it felt very touristy in the areas I was, but not welcoming.
