69. Belize – When a School Auction Prize Turns Into a Luxury Couples Trip with a Private Chef, Personal Boat Driver & Pure Relaxation
Ryan is back on the podcast! After sharing his couples trip to Costa Rica last year on Episode 15, he returns with another couples summer getaway, this time to Placencia, Belize. The best part - this fabulous trip started as a school auction prize!
In June 2025, Ryan and three other couples headed to a stunning vacation home in Belize complete with a private chef, daily laundry service, and even a personal boat driver who took them to dinner by sea. From snorkeling adventures to a BBQ on a private island, the group relaxed and enjoyed paradise.
