I've lived all over the world first things first your son is at a critical age for schooling wait till he's finished college / uni before you move

French Polynesian is beaitifull but expensive. If you've come from the west then you will appreciate things just work, If something breaks and I need a replacement I can just order it off amazon in 2 clicks rather than trudging through markets, negotiating in a language I don't fully understand and still getting charged twice as much because Im a forigner.

Doesn't happen so much in french polynesia but bare in mind if you need anything remotely even specialised you're going to be waiting a month + for it to arrive. Why belize is it for tax purposes? problem with tax havens is British and American banks get funny about tax havens and they may close your accounts

I used my parents address when I was out in Cambodia if i told natwest I was living out in Cambodia they'd have closed my account because of money laundering concerns, as far as my bank was concerned I was on an extended holiday out there. (Which may not last if you spend 5+years out there)

Your best advice is to visit any place your interested in for a month or 2 and see how you like it, after a month or two the rose tinted sunglasses start coming off.
