เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 3 ก.ค. 2023
This channel is dedicated to helping the older, single woman successfully move and retire abroad. Through our videos, vlogs, lives and resource materials, we dispel the fear and anxiety that plague older women and keep them from retiring to another country. I am a retired nurse practitioner who is currently living her best life in the beautiful country of Panama. I retired here alone and am thriving. If any of this resonates with you, if you're on the fence or are worried about whether you could make it in another country as an older female, this channel is for you.

Great information enjoyed your video !
@@terryparish7133 thank you and thanks for watching.
As you spend more time in Panama, you will see how much we love our country, regardless of social status and recognizing that there are some issues to address, but that love of country, culture and history, is our glue. November is the month to express that love almost every day, the students live to take part in the different parades. Enjoy our beloved country 🇵🇦 and glad you feel comfortable.
@@hilariowilson5570 yes indeed. Love of country is palpable and seen on everyone's face. Me encanta su país.
Where in Panama do you live?
I'm in the city.
l’m a single man, would that work too 😊
@@Dghehtyr absolutely!
A very interesting video. The Panamanian government should hire you as a spokesperson.
I think so too... ha ha... gracias 🙏😀
Love this video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
I would definitely succumb to that weakness. And I can tell that some of them are filled with meat and cheese. Aww man 😩🌺❤️lol
Oh yes...I do.. I have 😀😀
Gee I am a 79 year old very active retired nurse living in expensive Florida. I Wish i was younger I would definitely visit to check it out. But I think I am too old.
You absolutely are not...we have folks in their 80s checking out different spots.
thanks for the heads up, pounds on top of pounds!!!
Indeed.
Way too much temptation for me!
Yup...
One way of testing your will power 😂
The problem is, they are all around me....😒
Enter at your own risk? I know I couldn't even look that way 😂😂
Yup...I walk past real fast. If I don't stop....I pat myself on the back several times 😀😀
Maggie can you give me some good areas to live I like the mountains but not to far from the stores have a blessed day
Hmmm...Cerro Azul I understand is not too far from the city...there is also Boquete but you would have to drive to David to access the stores.
BHi MAGGIE how are you I’m planning to more there in three years and I’m going to need some help I would like to keep in touch you have a great day
Please do...happy planning.
Yes Maggie, I totally agree with all that you’ve said. I’m 68 and just want PEACE, a slower less stressful pace of living, sunshine and water…friendly, warm hearted people, and a place where my SS check will stretch. I just got my temporary residency visa to move to La Paz, MX in Feb. 2025. Paz means Peace in Spanish. If I don’t like it, I’ll check out David, Panama.
Wonderful... it's good to have options. thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for this video. As I select a country for relocation, access to quality Healthcare is a priority. Thank you.
Yes...as it should. Thanks for watching and for commenting.
Hello. I mostly enjoy your videos, but wanted to say that America is far from perfect. Many countries are. America is also bot all bad. I'm 65, ready to retire and comfortable in my home and city. My neighborhood isn't scary and I've never been a victim of a crime. Many other countries are safe one year and experiencing a coup the next. Enjoy Panama.
Hello...you are absolutely right. My videos are for those of us who cannot comfortably retire in America and/or feel unsafe. Everyone makes decisions for themselves. Blessings to you. Thanks for writing.
To each his / her own. Stay and enjoy your KKK president, good luck
Wonderful video! So many of these points apply to Mexico as well. I don’t know if this is true in Panama, but in Mexico the pay structure is so low that one local friend told me, laughing, “Well, they pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work.” It helps put things into perspective I think!
Hola...I hear that thee pay is low here as well although I can't speak to any specifics. Thanks for watching and for commenting.
I'm 52 and ex military female. I'm planning my move to Panama. I'm in the process of releasing myself from my very healthy, able bodied and extremely codependent mother, and controlling family. It is time for me to live my dreams now. I have given so much of myself that I forgot how to live. My older sister will now have to step up. Thank you for the video. I'm ready for this move 🌺❤️
Hola...good for your... time for self-love. Congratulations and best of luck in your planning. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
@@singlewomenretiringabroad Thank you so much for your kind words, and I'm so grateful that I found your channel🌺❤️
Maggie you are a gem! I sadly experienced a home invasion; happy to be alive. I’ve been researching countries outside the US to move to as a retired woman. It will happen in Spring 2025. I’m not afraid, I’m stimulated. Many thanks for your kind thoughts and advice as an exciting new chapter unfolds, perhaps in Boquete; I need a cool climate. ❤from Joanie 🐻 in N California
Hola...I'm so sorry about your experience. So glad you found the video helpful. Best wishes in your planning. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
Thank you
You're welcome
Hi Maggie, I greatly appreciate your videos! I arrived to Panama November 1st and hoping to meet up with some of the Expats to learn more! I decided to come here because being in the US and gathering information, having ideas about Panama was just speculation for me. Being here is an eye opener!
That's wonderful! Welcome to beautiful Panama!
I just started my channel today! I am so excited! Your information is perfect for me and I will continue to follow you and be a part of your community! So much to learn and do want to make up a difference!
Congratulations...You got this! Thanks for watching.
Dear Maggie, Again, another great video. Keep up the good work. I have my residency, I obtained it via the Friendly Nations Visa route. As I do not presently live in Panama permanently, but visit as often as I can, it is a stipulation that I have to visit Panama at least once every 2 years to keep my residency. I am due to arrive in Panama on 22 November. I It would be my pleasure if I could met you when I am in Panama City. I fly to Boquete on 23 or 24 November for a few days. Take care x
Hola..so nice meeting you. Welcome to Panama. We can compare schedules when you get here. Thanks for watching my video and for commenting.
@ thank you 🙏🏽
Hi Maggie I enjoy all your videos. But this one hit my soul. If this one doesn't do it for many of us I don't know what else.will move us to run and leave . I have procrastinated for years, caring, feeling obligated. Maggie no one cares anymore , so I'm ready . .
Wonderful! Yes, I'm not sure what it will take. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for your videos. I do find them so interesting and informative. Keep up the good work. We do appreciate it.
Thank you so much and thanks for watching.
Great value !
Yup
$1 is much welcome. $2 is the best I’ve gotten.
Yes...it does help. Thanks for watching.
I love when you do these types of videos 🇯🇲 wish this video was longer though
I know...I'm sorry, I ran out of memory/space on my phone. Maybe I'll do a longer one to show all three floors. Thanks for wathcing.
I love wandering stores like these. I hope I can resist accumulating stuff but after this video, I'm doubtful.
LOL...
How do we feel with Donald T. on the white house 🙄 again!? As a Panamanian I would like to hear some opinions becouse.... I cant understand 😴
We don't understand it either. There is a lot of debate and opinions online. Just check youtube and you will get quite an education. Thanks for your question/comment.
Love u maggie 😂❤ 🇵🇦
Awww.. you're so sweet. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
I'm glad I found you. I agree with you. It is not for everyone but some feel forced into it by their financial situation. Speaking for myself, I have been focused on Ecuador and have spent some time there. But now I am considering Panama. I know I have a lot to learn and I appreciate your willingness to share.
Absolutely. Panama is definitely a strong contender. Please check out all the playlists to learn more. Thanks for watching.
I like this store Maggie! Great prices, well organized and a large variety of items. Thanks for taking me with you to shop today. I scoped out some cute blouses.
@@Jess-A good.. you'll love it too. It's always packed.
This store reminds me of Target. I like it
Hey Queen! Thank you for this. I needed this especially today! Trump won I’m devastated 😢. I’m ready to leave USA now more than ever.
@@koobworld yes, it's one of my favorites.
In 2021 I left the US to live in the Gambia W. Africa for 2 years. I've been back in the US for one year. I have been considering moving to Panama next. I am a single woman, retired, with only about $2,000 a month to use. Can I really llive in Panama and have a comfortable way of life?
@@angelstar7656 hola, I think you can. It will depend on what "comfortable" means to you and whether you can live within your budget.
Wow! At least you know it is fireworks and not gunfire. We can never tell sometimes in the US. I can wait to get to Panama.
SPI = Servicio de Protección Institucional, is the security service for the president and government buildings. In english Institutional Protective Service.
@@hilariowilson5570 yes, gracias 🙏
Nice!!!😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for posting! I am a single woman living in Boquete and our parade was canceled Sunday due to rain. I've been here for a year and a half and love the Panamanian spirit!! I live in downtown and many say it's to noisy, but for me, not at all. I have been up with them until 5:00 in the morning celebrating, but hey, I'm retired so I can sleep anytime!!
@@smhlittlebitofeverything9967 that's the spirit 😃
Work it out drum line!!! They look great.
Indeed. They were amazing!
