What we do

Where?
Better In Belize Eco-Village is situated on 130 acres of Rainforest in the Cayo District. Our community enjoys the natural beauty of the Maya Mountains and shares a stretch of the pristine Macal River with Pine Ridge Mountain Reserve; Belize’s largest protected area. Our location offers a unique mixture of seclusion and connectedness. On one hand the unspoiled rainforest we reside in provides a peaceful, private, and quiet (with the exception of a few noisy howler monkeys) existence. While on the other hand we are only a short, scenic drive away from the town of San Ignacio, and only 2.5 hours away from both the Caribbean Coast and Belize City’s International Airport.
Our Way of Life
Here at Better In Belize sustainability is at the core of how we live. We strive to live in harmony with nature and limit our environmental footprint. Our community is entirely off-grid; we use solar panels for our electricity needs and rainwater catchment for our water.
Why?
Whether you are looking for a place to retire and relax, to escape the cold in the winter months, or just a simpler, healthier, and happier alternative to the rat race, Better In Belize may just be the place for you. The beauty of the mountainous landscape and the abundance of wildlife here in the Mayan rainforests are second to none. Here, at Better in Belize Eco-Village, we offer the opportunity for a sustainable, healthy lifestyle change.
Joining the Fun

Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.
