Carolee Chanona

Growing up in the shadow of the Sleeping Giant awakened a sense of adventure and environmental stewardship in Carolee at an early age. Nature’s bounty on the family farm served to encourage her hobby of cooking and the value of Belizean ingredients; this belief was honed with a 2-year tutelage under Chef Sean Kuylen and the Flavors of Belize team. Armed with a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Law, Carolee is committed to striking a balance between promoting regenerative tourism in the region alongside Belize’s slow, experiential, nature-based tourism product.
