From the moment Erin set foot in Belize back in 2005, she instantly fell in love with the country. She knew one day she’d eventually live there, and after years as a tourist making annual visits, she was able to fulfill her dream. For nearly 10 years, Erin called Ambergris Caye, Belize, her part time home. Until 2019, she was spending an average of six months per year on the island and specializes in content related to Belize.
In 2013, Erin authored the majority of Belize’s official visitor magazine, Destination Belize.
She is AFAR Travel Magazine’s local Belize Expert and authored the AFAR Guide to Belize. Erin has worked with the Belize Tourism Board (BTB) and the Belize Tourism Industry Association (BTIA), even representing the country at a Crisis Management Tourism Media Workshop in Guatemala in 2013.
Utilizing her expertise gained while working on other tourism projects around the world, Erin has partnered with major Belize tourism brands and local media to help promote travel to Belize. She has spoken several times as an expert on blogging in Belize, including at Belize’s First Tourism and Marketing Summit and TBEX Cancun, the world’s largest conference for travel bloggers and new media specialists. Erin was also the keynote speaker for the Belize Hotel Association’s Annual General Meeting in 2017. She has been cited as one of the “Top Belizean Brands to Follow on Twitter.”
Lobsterfest Judge
Erin was invited to be a judge at Belize’s biggest Lobsterfest celebration in San Pedro for numerous years. She has been involved in charity work on the island, including coordinating a “soup kitchen” event to benefit needy families in San Pedro, Belize.
