If you lean towards the latter then you’re likely a traveler. And if do-nothing trips are more to your liking, then it’s more likely that you’re a vacationer – at least, according to some. The best trips, however, usually involve a healthy combination of the two, and if you agree, then here’s some good news: we know just the place where you can enjoy exactly that.

Regardless of what’s more your style, and even if you use the words “travel” and “vacation” interchangeably, enjoy both adventure and relaxation while visiting the Caribbean gem that is Belize.
