Cristina D. Johnson

Cristina D. Johnson always lived a somewhat nomadic life, as she called several parts of the U.S. “home” before eventually moving to Belize. She didn’t quite know what to expect as she moved, but she found everything she’d been looking for, in what to her is a perfect rugged paradise with the Caribbean Sea to one side, and scenic mountains to the other. There, she lives in a large house on a large lot in a small village, where she grows her own food, keeps chickens, and counts two dogs and two cats as her pets. She’s just a 15-minute bus ride ($1) from the nearest town. Cristina continues to work in Belize, as a content marketing writer, specializing in inbound marketing.

Expats frequently live quite comfortably on a budget of $2,000 or more per month.
