Rachel Jensen About This Week's Guest Rachel Jensen Over 8 years ago, Rachel moved from New York to a small Caribbean island off the coast of Belize for a job. Today she still calls Ambergris Caye home and despite the cultural differences and nuances, she has adapted to a slower, and easier pace life in Central America. "I was in a real New York state of mind. Now my life is a lot simpler and easier." Her tips on becoming more culturally competent are: Understand that you're a visitor; you don't have the right to criticize the other (country/culture). Some countries are less or not confrontational, so maybe you shouldn't be either. Live simply if that's the local lifestyle; don't be tied down by your stuff.
