My Name is Dale, I am a 30-something from Manchester living in Vancouver. I decided to write this blog as a way to keep track on all my trips over the years and to give my thoughts on things I enjoyed (and those I didn’t).

I hope the blog inspires you to follow your own dreams and travel plans.

A fantastic 3 days with the Raggamuffin Tour πŸ–πŸβ›΅οΈ

I have seen this trip on multiple travel blogs over the years and it planned our trip to Belize around the trip. Despite some last minute changes due to weather and some itinerary changes caused by Covid we had a fantastic time with fantastic people. We explored several islands (Cayes) that make up the Belize Barrier Reef and saw turtles, sharks, rays, manatee to name just a few!

A big shout out to our crew, Mark, Victor, Dillon and Capt Brett. @raggamuffintours
