In 2011, Tatiana and Andrei Borisov moved to Belize with their small child, selling their apartment in Russia and leaving behind a comfortable life. They purchased 10 hectares of land in the jungle near a village with only 150 residents. On this land, the family began to establish a farm, building a cozy house and outbuildings. Tatiana recounts that they encountered an armadillo and animals resembling lemurs. In the evenings, a bat named Kondratiy visits them, scratching at the roof in the same spot. A lizard lives in the ceiling, making clicking sounds as it eats mosquitoes. The Borisovs grow bananas, papayas, coconuts, as well as potatoes, cucumbers, and dill on their farm.

However, in February 2013, their peaceful life was disrupted. Three masked robbers broke into their home, stealing valuables and money, and sexually assaulting two girls who were visiting the community. This attack was the first of its kind in Central America, where dozens of white settlements coexist peacefully with local residents. The director of the Santiago Atitlán farm, Boni Mencher, expressed hope that this incident would remain an isolated case, but they decided to enhance security just in case.
