To chase something bigger, bolder, and brilliantly audacious - Frik De Meyere in Placencia, Belize

Hey there, I’m Frik De Meyere, 22 years ago, I'd have laughed if you’d told me I’d be here in Placencia, Belize, running a thriving real estate business while my wife runs a bustling coffee, wine, and ice cream shop.  Belize? Back then, it was merely a name I’d scrolled past on a drop-down menu when filling out an online form. Yet here I am. 

Our home rests on the edge of the Caribbean Sea, the waves lapping at the shore as I juggle everything from high-stakes property negotiations to the occasional bout of baking  bread, bagels, and cheesecake, whenever our supplier takes a sudden holiday. That's the type of people we are. Packed days. Occasionally, you’ll find us in the café kitchen past midnight, celebrating with a bottle of wine, fueled by the drive to keep moving forward. 

We live our dream. But it’s not the kind you wake up from. The kind you work on daily. My wife and I have been together for a very long time. Our compatible business mindset fuels everything we do. Every freaking day, we put in the work. Because that’s what it takes when you choose the adventurous route. 

Our kids have grown up with this rhythm. Now, at ages 10, 11, and 13, they’ve got their own routines. One even boards in Belize City during the school week.  If you’re shaking your head — school and boarding in Belize City — yup, it was totally unimaginable to me when we first arrived. And you know what changed: we met people and built a supportive community we trust.

Thinking of Making a Big Move?
