taking the hassle out of traveling
EF ultimate break
I had never put much thought into what Belize would have to offer, so traveling there was never at the top of any of my lists. However, when the opportunity to take this trip presented itself, I was all for it, ready to go. In all honesty, being the traveler I am, addicted to being by the ocean, knowing that it sat right along the Caribbean Sea was all it took for me to be sold.
Being that this was the first big international trip that I was taking without any family, I was initially hesitant, since, I was not going to have the time to do extensive research, ensure personal safety, coordinate flights, travel between cities, or excursions.
Thankfully I was told about this reputable travel company that takes the hassle out of traveling because this trip was my first preplanned, no stress, traveling experience. I booked this Latin American: two-country, 2 week trip through EF Ultimate Break. (this link will take you to the Black Friday deals and will automatically include my ambassador promo code to give you an extra $100 off) EF is a travel site that takes the hassle out of anything and everything travel-related. If you are easily overwhelmed by coordinating flights, transportation to and from every place, various hotel stays, and booking excursions, I recommend going through them.
The trips are booked out up to a year in advance, allowing travelers the chance to do full payment plans of their trips by making a small deposit upon the initial booking, followed by monthly payments. These payment plans also include the costs of the flights making it easy to fit traveling internationally budget-friendly.
In an attempt to best acquaint all the travelers in the group before we all arriving in Belize, our tour guide created a private Facebook page. I must say that communication leading up to the trip exceeded my expectations, leaving us feeling overly confident in taking a back seat to the planning.
Now Tiffany and I decided to pick this as our girls' trip destination as the itinerary included many things that we wanted to scratch off our bucket lists. Some of the excursions from the trip included zip-lining through the jungle, riding through bat-filled caves on inter-tubes, and snorkeling through the coral reefs. As part of our travel package, the cost of the activities was included in our package deal. The travel package also included the cost of all the travel arrangements between the various cities. If you are interested in looking more into how we were able to do so much in such a short amount of time, please check out the EF college break website. Please note that the Belize trip now has been separated to offer more specialized trips.
