Heal The World Video (Michael Jackson)

Michael Jackson & Director Joe Pytka collaborated on this masterpiece, back in 1992.  I was fortunate enough to be a part of this wonderful project. We shot for 5 days on the back lot of Universal Studios where I watched Joe Pytka make magic happen with all these children from different Nationalities & Ethnicity's. I will never forget this event and the impact that it had on my life. Thank you M.J. & Joe for this wonderful opportunity.

International Living Postcards—your daily escape
Monday, Sept. 3, 2012

Dear International Living Reader,

Belize is an undiscovered tropical paradise, an English-speaking Caribbean playground with islands, beaches, sailing, diving...

Yet within Belize, there are corners of the country that are further hidden from all but the most persistent traveler...

An Overlooked Village in Caribbean Belize
By Sharon Hiebing

Many visitors to Belize head east to the Cayes (pronounced “keys”) to sail and scuba dive on the world’s second largest barrier reef. Others drive west to explore the country’s extensive Mayan ruins. Some hike in the central rainforests. But few people make it to the—still authentic—Caribbean retreats of the south.

The small fishing village of Hopkins is one such place. This Garifuna community, located in the Stann Creek District, is lapped by warm turquoise waters and home to deserted white-sand beaches sprinkled with coconuts.

There are daily scuba diving, snorkeling and island-hopping tours. You can hike up to Antelope Falls in the Mayflower Bocawina National Park and zipline through the rainforest. Or you can take a Sittee River kayak tour and discover some of the 500 species of birds that call Belize home. Along the way, you may see a manatee, crocodile, or iguana.

You’ll frequently find colorfully-clad troupes performing drum and dance routines around town, and at the Lebeha Drumming Center locals will give you lessons or a private show for only $10. Or take the 10-minute drive to the Maya Center Village and learn about the traditional life of the region’s Mayan people.

Despite its small size, you’ll eat well in Hopkins and options range from traditional local fare to the best pizza in Belize at the Driftwood Beach Bar. The local dish of stewed chicken with rice and beans is available for $5 or less at patio-style stands around town. Or you can cook your fish on a Mayan lava rock right at your candlelit table at Love on the Rocks for $15.

A popular expat hangout on the beach is Windschief Beach Bar, where you can dance the night away. You can rent cottages on the beach with WiFi, some with kitchenettes, for $10 to $15 a night.

Hopkins is easy to get around, too, either on foot or by golf cart, with rentals starting at $30 for five hours.

Editor's note: For more details on what to do in Hopkins and how to do it, see the current issue of International Living magazine.
