Trial Farm, Belize

With a population of just 2,133, Trial Farm is a sleepy village that offers little excitement for the average expat. While the census pegs the town's demographics as predominantly Mestizo, Creole, and Mixed, the reality is a persistent bureaucratic headache for those seeking to navigate the local government. And with the town situated a mere 29 meters above sea level, the climate can be oppressive and sweltering for much of the year.

Unless you're part of the Louisiana Army National Guard, which took on the noble task of expanding the local school back in 2007, Trial Farm likely holds little appeal for the average American seeking a new life abroad. This is a community content to maintain its sleepy, provincial character - for better or worse.
