Popsugar Family Little Kids Mom Uses Maternity Leave to Travel the World With Family 1 Mom Is Using Maternity Leave to Travel the World With Her Family, and OMG #Goals December 10, 2017 by Victoria Messina First Published: November 10, 2017 View On One Page Photo 10 of 17 ADVERTISEMENT () Start Slideshow After a gruelling seven hour journey we made it to the jungle in Belize yesterday evening! I've realised busing around Central America is going to come with its challenges... Nonetheless we are here at the incredible @chaacreekbelize ... i had no idea what to expect. This place is phenomenal. Owned by an English man and his American wife, they've built this eco resort in the jungle over the last 40 years. No roads, couldn't get trucks here... they literally started from scratch. I met the owner Mick this morning, I could have chatted to him for hours. He was telling me of the challenges living here in the 80's trying to get his wife to hospital when she was in labour... some people just blow my mind.. He came here with 300USD in his back pocket and built this entire place up over the years. The best part about it is he is humble and it's not owned by a huge chain hotel... I love working with these kind of people to bring exposure to their work and what they have to offer tourists.. @chaacreekbelize has everything you could ever want to explore the jungle with a young family, river tubing, canoeing, infinity pools falling off into dense jungle, luxury villas, treehouse accommodation and the most amazing butterfly farm with blue morpho. Everywhere I look I see massive iguanas lurking, hundreds of working ants carrying big leaves, colourful birds like the tui and that's just in the grounds nearby our villa... Honestly guys you need to come to Belize ... between here and the beach-life out on the island it makes for a varied and interesting holiday... They only get 220k tourists in Belize a year so it's still relatively untouched. Also if you ever worry about language being a barrier, English is the first language!! 💜✈️🌎 hosted A post shared by TRAVEL MAD MUM (@travelmadmum) on Oct 11, 2017 at 3:59pm PDT Share This Link Copy ← Use Arrow Keys → 10 Previous Next Start Slideshow Little KidsTravelMaternity LeaveMotherhood
