Maggie shared her Top 5 considerations for her move abroad. Are any missing for you? Leave a comment and let us know.
Challenge of learning new languages as a senior citizen. End of life care in another country, 🤔
Starting a small business. Is the country open to foreign entrepreneurs, small business
@@angiemo0724 I WILL KEEP MY HOMES IN AMERICA ,
Also opening bank accounts, business bank accounts
I would just like to say as a Black man, I really enjoy watching your content and I commend you for all the wonderful work you are doing in assisting Black expat women to be successful in living overseas. 👍👍
She had me at, "No Karens in Panama!"
SAME!!!! 👏🏾
February 2017, I retired, at 60, and rejoined the Peace Corps (Armenia 2017/19 and Ethiopia 2019/20). I joined AmeriCorps, in 2020, and worked in Alaska for two years. As soon as I reached full social security retirement age (66 years and four months) I left the USA the following month. I’ve been traveling full time since December 2022. I only own one small under the seat suitcase and a backpack. I have nothing in storage, back in the USA. Good luck ladies! Enjoy your travels!
I enjoyed this interview. I am married and in my 70s. I want to leave the U.S. because this is not a place to grow old. I have been watching you ladies and it has inspired me to go on a relocation tour. I convinced my husband to go to Mexico to check it out. We will be in San Miguel de Allende for a week, followed by a week in Queretaro in October. He is not sure he wants to leave the U.S., but I am ready to go. I had him watch some of your videos and he says maybe. Good work ladies.
I hope your relocation tour goes well and that you both find a lovely new town to call home. 💗
If I could offer a little advice on where to go in one's retirement, it would be this. Ask the following questions:
1. If both became suddenly 😢homebound, who would come help with food, getting to the bathroom, etc? Are home health aids affordable in that place?
2. If one spouse passes away, would there be enough means to handle that situation in that country/village, including shipping remains back home for burial?
3. Is the community where one plans to live safe and supportive of elderly people? Do neighbors look in on them? Is there a neighborhood watch? Do drivers slow down for seniors crossing the street?
4. Would friends and family visit at least twice a month? Is it easy to make new friends? Old age can get lonely, even in a place where relatives live. Could locals become 'like family'?
5. Is high quality health care easy to get, and do doctors and nurses make house calls there?
6. Is it a good place to continue to live after one spouse passes?

@@artsylovelyladyI'm in my 50s, 53 actually and I'm not married. These are questions I ask myself now. I moved back home to help my parents and in the last 4 years I have found that having that support is not in place here. This city is where my family have lived since before I was born! I have "friends" here who I NEVER see or hear from. Same with my parents. I don't know if there is a place where you can have everything.
@janwig9347 Well, if you can't find a place where people are genuinely helpful, at least start looking for a place that is genuinely affordable. If you will end up having to hire your help, it will be crucial to make sure that you are in a place where your savings and retirement income can afford to hire help.
I have been in Ghana now nearly three years. Unscrupulous people in abundance. Lack of respect for women. All the things mentioned in this talk. I desire to live by the beach and rent in a coastal town and in the capital too. I have a good network of friends and am building now. My initial journey was one of the hardest seasons of my life but I am on the other side now. I'm on you tube a three part narrative. The African Building Hub, Part 1, Buying a house in Ghana, lessons from a Jamaican. It is imperative to share our journey, good and bad so others can make an informed choice. Thank you for your channel it also gives valuable information with regards to travelling. Thank you.
What's your YT page?
Buying a house in Ghana.....it is mentioned above. African Hub@@yolandalewis6988
Having lived in both Ghana and Panama I can agree with most of what was said during the interview. I love Ghana and have dear friends there but if you want to live there navigating most systems (govt, financial, medical etc) can be frustrating. Panama is well run comparatively and has a quality of life not found in the US. Panamá is a hidden gem but i would encourage people to explore further than Panama City to find beauty and peace. And there are cooler temps in the mountains if you don't like the heat.
I know people from Panamá, and they said it has turn to another American place, too western. if you want that , then you in the right place.
You are welcome in my country 🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦
This interview was extraordinary!! About 6 months ago I was complaining to a friend, because I was very unhappy with my financial position; & realized that I could not retire with dignity in the US. People in the US do not like anything old (people, houses, cars etc.) I was especially angry, anxious, worried.... because of some poor financial choices my husband made that placed us in a compromised position. My friend said to me "what are you worried about"; & shared some videos of expats in Panama. This was such a blessing because I saw Black women taking care of themselves. Caring for & teaching each another. Going all over the world "Como si nada". Made me soo proud, hopeful & encouraged. Thank you so very much for making a difference!!
I'm so glad it was helpful Juanita! And I hope you're looking forward to your retirement. 💗
Yes, you can live comfortably in Panamá with a moderate income. You may have to adjust your choices and taste.
I like this lady's ego. She is not biased at all since she made a fact finding motion & took notes to be able to make valid comparisons. That took time & cost money. Thank you for your effort. Much appreciated.
Thanks for sharing one Africa; one people. If you educate a woman; you educate a Nation ❤💪🏾✊🏾👍🙏🏼
If it doesn't sit well with your spirit, that is what you pay attention to. Forget about what others say, Spirit and intuition trumps all as far as I'm concerned.
Also to note panama University has one of the best medical faculties. Panama care is great. And urgent care is 24/7 at clinics.
Great to know!
You are all welcome to come and retire in CapeTown South Africa
My experience in Capetown was short 2 weeks but I thoroughly enjoyed the culture, love, respect and acceptance from the citizens. Most beautiful place I've ever visited. ❤😂🎉
Great interview as it hits all the topics Black senior expats must ponder when making their exit. Not until recently did I have to deal with one other issue: friendships as a senior expat. When my family moved to Bahia, Brazil ten years ago making new friends did not cross my mind. I watched my Brazilian husband rekindle old friendships, our daughter started high school and quickly made friends, but I felt I would never have a best friend in my new community. One day I met a sister from LA- my area, my age, living around the block from us who retired to Brazil 5 years earlier. We became fast friends. My friend started getting sick about three years ago, landed in the hospital for 3 months and then sadly passed away June, 2023 at the age of 70.
This is one more reality that we must weigh. I must add that there is also the issue of unscrupulous evil people who pretend to be friends and prey on this vulnerability.
So I would not trade the last ten years of peace for anything, but I do know that making friends and having that person is so important to our experience and ability to adapt.
You hit the nail on the head...we must be proactive and plan ahead.
Ghanaians American here who now lives in both places and I agree with her analysis. I am looking for somewhere also and have some similar considerations to her. Ghana can be hard to navigate, even for me. There are other places with much easier transitions and we are lucky to have a choice to explore options.
Thanks very much for not referring to Ghanaians or Africans with skin colour. That's great. Thanks.
You are not American born
@@princessprincess7708 If you were listening, Maggie did say she was not born in the US, she grew up there!
@@oroedwards-ib7vy Agreed it is refreshing that there are healthier thinkers
I spent three weeks exploring and teaching at the primary levels in Ghana. I agree with her evaluation of the country, but each person is different. I'm still a decade away from retirement age, but I absolutely loved everything about Ghana. The infrastructure is the biggest issue for me, but the people and pace are fairly slow and laid back so the time it takes to commute is still bearable. There was nothing I experienced, including the water scarcity, that I could not handle. I would love to live in Ghana and teach for free. I've put together a group of women (mostly younger) who travel frequently to Ghana. It's a true love! Also, compared to anywhere else in the world, there is nothing like being a Black woman raised in Western countries being in a space where everyone looks like you. It's an indescribable feeling. I will probably eventually pursue dual citizenship.
Retired RN/Adult Primary Care Nurse Practitioner here. I called it quits after losing both of my parents. It hit home at age 59 that it was time to pull back and retire. I think about Panama, but to live a few months out of each year. I also like as a 65 year old Panama has a pretty good healthcare system and it is only a few hours plane ride from eastern states in the US. I did my NP degree at University of Maryland and when I rotated thru Johns Hopkins some of the residents were from Panama with goals to return back home. Wow and I worked as an RN at the Peace Corps headquarters in my hometown of DC working with the Peace Corps volunteers after returning back to US.
Wow...amazing connections 😊
Yes and I served in the US Air Force Nurse Corps so I have lived out of the country in Asia for almost 3 years, and enjoyed it. I hope to do this again soon!@@anurseinthekitchen6442
I am 67. I love your sense of adventure and wanting more of the various world experiences. Sistets, keep sampling around until you find the best for you. As for me, I am a Black African woman. Rwandan to be precise. Born and raised in Uganda, worked in Kenya, returned to Uganda and worked there in the mid-1980's to early 1990s. Then I moved to Rwanda in 1995. I have traveled the world a bit. If I wasn't living in Rwanda, I would live in Uganda.
Awesome!
Hi sis. Ugandan Canadian here too. Almost 50 and asking myself where I should be living during the Canadian winter. Vancouver is beautiful but I know I need a second home. I’m not 100 percent sold onto Uganda due to its chaos but I know I can live there if I had to.
Thank you from a widow Black African American in her 40's 🤗 ❤️💛💚✊🏾🖤
My pleasure.
How about Jamaica? Many of our nurses went to the USA due to the high demand for them and the attractive US$ with our 152J$ to 1 USD exchange rate. We are now having a nurse shortage. You could try the University of The West Indies hospital which has a nursing school but if you want to be by the beach then St. Ann's Bay hospital near to Ocho Rios is great and there are some beautiful gated communities down that side of Jamaica on the North Coast and it is very beautiful. Just don't date the men especially the younger men who target older retirees and take their money
Kenya for us, and we're so glad about it. We luv Joburg too. I luv my Sister's process and am happy for her.
Thank you 🙏
Well ladies...thank you so much for the opportunity. I so enjoyed our chat. Currently in PA on the first leg of my newest adventure. Excited.
Psych NP here heading to Rwanda or Barbados
Yesss!!!

As a Jamaican raised here in Washington DC. I i can't turn my back to Mama Africa, so I went to Ghana first and second trip, my third trip, we are all bkacks, no discrimination, I purchased 10 acres of land Started building apartments for rent and also I poulty farm. I just found a girlfriend. You can own lands in Ghana, that why most of Africans/Americans living in outside America are living in Ghana, and also Caribbeans and those from UK. The weather In Ghana is so good
Can you recommend where I could find reasonable land as well
@@UniquePathWellness if you don't mind send me you email, I will link you with very good people
Well said very true
What A lie. There are brown skin and dark brown Afro people in Ghana.
Who is Alll black.?
This is black■■■■
Racists bunch.
Stop coming to my continent offending my people with colour Emphasis
I am surprised you wouldn't go home to Jamaica.
Why do Black Americans think going to Africa means going to Ghana only???? Much better countries in Africa for Afro Americans than Ghana, Like, for exampe, Kenya, or Rawanda. To be honest Ghanians are known for being unfriendly and it's true. And Kenya, Rawanda, and 7 other countries on the continent offer automatic citizenship to Black Americans also. I'm from Atlanta.
I did not now this about the citizenship options, that's really amazing!
I'm retired in Yaounde, Cameroon.
Are you from Africa?
How is it there? Do you speak French?
Without water for two weeks in Ghana? That’s a massive exaggeration.
Still a fair analysis. You want a place that feels like the US and has close proximity? Panama. You want an Afrocentric environment? Africa.
Exactly, without water for 2 weeks is not true. I have visited Ghana for a month, within that month, I was without water for about 30 mins and electricity I was without for about 15mins and I stayed in Tema. So yes, she is exaggerating. As I have said before, Africa is not for everybody.
Africa has 54 countries keep exploring
I appreciate your content so much! I love taking Mini-retirements. I realized 3 to 4 weeks was as long as I wanted to be away from my comforts and family. The best part is learning things about yourself. Then be brave enough to try something new. There is no paradise or perfect place, but, we can create our own peace by discovery.
I absolutely love Panama. I am going on my 4th visit in July. I knew from my 1st visit that it was #1 on my list.
@TexasGirlTravel.. hi, I am in Texas. Feel free to reach out.
Maggie, thank you so much for your interview. I am former Peace Corps Volunteer right out of college and you made me think about maybe rejoining now that I am retirement age. I was in Burkina Faso and the Cameron in West Africa for six years. You and I had so much in common, the travel, the risk taking, the adventure and the interest in other cultures.. Thank you again so much. Your talk was so inspiring and now I also really want to visit Panama. I had a friend who invited me years ago, but I haven't got there yet. Blessings! Thanks to the presenters as well.
I appreciate the work you 2 do, and the information you share as my husband and I ponder and plan what's next for us. This interview was REALLY good, and relatable to me being over 60 😊 I wish Maggie the best in her endeavors. It's Never too late to bust a move!
Indeed. Thank you so much.
Thank you, Ladies for this wonderful video. I’m a few years from 60 and the thought of growing old in this country is terrifying, especially the way things are going now politically. I want desperately to travel while I still have my health and I have STEM skills that I hope can be of use to someone, somewhere. At my age, no one is knocking down my door to hire me and frankly I’m just over the office and the commute. I will definitely be looking into attending the summit in October.
Love it Maggie! Welcome to my country. You will love it here in South Africa. Welcome to mzanzi❤
the best advice in ghana to have a busines mindset ,thats the only way to make money,in a health care busines,opening our own chemist or phamacy shop busines,little packaging busines or small scall productions,also pls have the mind set of adventure in the beginning ,study the life style,busines
God bless you sir for that advice, I wish all blacks coming to Africa could keep that in mind
Very helpful. But remember, these are elders who are looking to relax in their later years. Your advice is more for the youth.
@@tracienatural2405 retires are welcome but if only they have income coming inn every months for them,but if you don't have,you needs to find other alternatives, After getting your home,you can make one side of your home BnB or local business to be giving you some income, bcoz living in Africa is not easy,I am a Ghanaian living in Germany,
I'm really impressed by what you are doing. It's unfortunate about Ghana. It seems Africa does not like change/progress. I'm a Zimbabwean and retired. But going back home has been a challenge in some areas. With all my professional qualifications, nurse midwife, health visitor with 26 years experience of working with children and family, some children with disabilities. I've also got an Bsc Hon. degree in psychology. I found it very difficult to register to work with families with children with disabilities. I advise parents how to help their child reach their full potential. So I help those whom I meet in supermarket and self referrals by word of mouth. One guy said to me in a supermarket after hearing my accent shouted "go back where you came from, we don't need you here". That's the type of mentality some people have. I'm also a Montessori preschool teacher. I did the course when I retired. So it makes it easier to help those children with disabilities. I am Zimbabwean by birth.
Thank you and stay blessed.

@exodussummit - Ladies, thanks for the interview with Maggie Lazzare. I love her spirit and admire her call to service. @Maggie, wishing you all the best in Peace Corp. Blessings.
Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you so much 🙏
Thank you 🙏
This was very delightful. Many of us “seniors” are of sound mind and excellent-good health. I was assigned as a registered nurse in Panama when I was in the military. I enjoyed it there. I’m now retired and seriously considering another country to enjoy retirement. Very interesting conversation!
Thank you so much. Go where you feel most comfortable.
Maggie is so inspirational. Thoroughly enjoyed this and determined to live my life to the max x!
This was helpful and interesting! Thank you
Watching Replay.. I really enjoyed this video and agree with everything the guest stated about Panama. I just came back from Panama. I got my Retirement visa (due to I’m medically retired from the military)and started looking for my apartment. I chose the city for now because need to be close to a hospital and I don’t want to buy a car or travel far for things. I’m going back next month to move. I want to use it as my home base and travel other countries. Thanks again Stephanie and Roshida for all your helpful content.
Thank you so much for the information
Thank you I truly enjoyed the information
This was an excellent video! Thanks 😊
Thank you for your excellent interviews.
Thank you very much for this. It has answered and brought a lot of clarity. ❤❤❤
Great video very inspiring 👍🏾
This was such a great interview with Maggie! I wish her the best on her journey!!
I love the information. 💕💕Panama is on my list.
Sounds like you'll love it!
Yeah...
Come to ghana 🇬🇭 ❤️
I'm from the Caribbean, and I spent time in Ghana. The number one reason I wouldn't retire there is that it's too far from my grandchildren. I hear your negatives regarding Ghana and some of them are true but if you had taken time to find out the reason for the water problem you would not be so negative.
I'll educate you on one of the reasons: the foreigners stealing gold mess up the water system in the washing of the mineral. It takes time to clean up the system again.
Panama operates on the American module. Ghana is independent in many ways. You can't go there and tell them what to do. It's offensive. The infrastructure is what it is. The West dominates and old colonialism is alive and well. Some of those who try to make a difference are taken out. Do your home work my sister to change your mindset and negativity .
This was such an enjoyable interview 🙂
I have been watching you Ms Perry for about 6 months now…I really enjoy these forums. I also do not want to retire in the USA and this has given me a lot of useful information..thank you ladies 🙏🏽
I enjoyed the conversation. Lots of good information.
Stephanie & Roshida, thank you for this informative video that featured Ms. Maggie Lazare, an adventurous, professional, skilled business owner who happens to be a senior who has a positive mind set in knowing her priorities. I thought about the Peace Corp in my 20's but after researching they are not always welcome in the foreign countries.
I loved this collaboration, thank you ladies. ❤
Trying decide Panama costa Rica or Ghana. There is an American couple that went to Costa Rica just to have their baby. They said the medical benefits was there. An another elderly couple moved to Ghanah did research on the best hospitals b/c the husband is a veteran who had a stroke. They are the only people I've seen on TH-cam that said they found a very good hospital and doctor in Ghana
Thank you!!!!!!!
Love this content
I will be 81 in October, and I retired at 58, and return to work at 61 to 69. Over 60 years visiting and living in Mexico, and traveling the world on my own dime all over the world. I relocated to Queretaro in 2021, and very happy. I earned my money in the computer field, and teaching English to Spanish speakers.
I do not go to doctors, and plan for direct cremation and no service.
or donate my body.
teaches around the world, and Bali is he favorite. She is 43, and told me she was not going to marry or have children, and that is her life. Marriage had too many deal breakers, so I stayed friends with them, but divorced the first one and the second one died, when our daughter was 7.
Thanks Maggie for the UPDATES on Panama.
I love listening to the perspectives of everyone here. I know my final list of places to retire/ make my forever home will unfortunately not be in west Africa. Infrastructure, healthcare, and socio-political stability are critically important to me. Having grown up in west Africa, the trauma of political unrest, etc still impacts my perspective. But at the end of the day, everyone must do their own research, do their cost-benefits analysis, etc.
Love this. I loved listening to Maggie talk. Question: Maggie, what is the name of the Medicare Advantage plan that reimburses expenses that you mentioned?
Ms Maggie is so beautiful!!! And wise, free-spirited, and exudes peace & with such agency!!! As a masters level RN, I'm intrigued!!! I'm 70!!!! Prayers for safe, adventurous & 20:08 fulfilling life in Panama!❤❤❤❤
I agree, you have to feel it in your spirit as well as ticking those boxes.
Ditto.
Y’all are soooo awesome! Maggie inspires!
I love this community and so thankful for all the knowledge that is shared. Are there any women in their 30's - 40's who are considering moving to Panama? My family is interested in moving there. I would like to meet women who are around my age who are visiting/ interested in moving to Panama as well.
This was such an awesome interview. It gave me many things to consider. I am still trying to work through some things but I am learning so much from this community.
Very Beautiful Thinking , HalleluYah !
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you Maggie for your candid responses about your real life experiences. I’ve never considered Panama but now it’s on my list.
This lady Maggie is very intuitive. She describes Rwanda in a very simple way! Military presence
Thank you
Thank you Maggie
Wonderful interview lots of on point information. Key take away is what you feel or your spirit tells you about the place.
Amazing interview. I appreciate how thoughtful your main guest was. Bless the algorithm for show me this. My buddy recently told me about the advantages of his dual Ghanain citizenship and landownership during his visit this Saturday.
My aunt had a bad experience when she returned to Panama. They gave her a tough time with her US health insurance. She had cancer and needed chemo. When they finally approved the insurance for cancer treatment it had spread. So everyone’s experience is different. She was born in Panama and so was I.
Sorry to hear that but it is good that you balanced the comments. I hope things get better for your Aunt.
@@evadney1000 She passed. Thanks
@@EE-zf1lwMay the good Lord comfort you and your family.❤
So sorry to hear about your aunt. I lived in Panama for 7 years. I returned to the States right before the pandemic after my husband passed away. He was Panamanian and we didn't find the health care system that all that great there. He died in Panama due to a brain aneurysm which was diagnosed too late. Anyway, I still love Panama. I made so many amazing friends. It is a beautiful place.
I enjoyed this interview
Great interview! Thank you
My pleasure.
Great interview! I am just starting to toil with idea of moving outside of the USA. I have about 5 years to do all the research, scout many countries and different regions with the countries. I will be 57 when I retire. I desire to give back either via working (doing something I love) or volunteering. Finding this TH-cam channel and the channel of your other speakers will give me the tools and tips for me to start my exploration and research. My spirit will guide me. Thanks for creating this platform.
Thanks for sharing very informative I'm interested attending the summit, what country, time and hotel accommodation
Extremely informative interview. Although I plan on lifelong travel around the world and not leaving the US, this gives me insights about other options. Women can retire outside of the country and live fulfilling and enriching lives! Thank you.❤
Loved this interview!
Thank you so much!
Great interview. Good insights!
Thank you🙏
Which Medicare advantage plan was your guest referring to? Thank you for the info! Inspiring for sure!
I had a good friend who lived in a city with no relatives. She became ill and relied on her next door neighbor. She realized she needed to be near her family ( esp😢god- daughter since she had no children. Wanted to be near her brother too. She was too I’ll ti travel home however. That neighbor had taken control over her finances and never returned the god daughter or her brother. My friend died and body was shipped home to family. That was it!
Condolences. This illustrates the realities of living abroad. I wonder if your friend had a will and how proactive her remaining family were. Did they visit her?
As an expat , it's hard to know if people are being friendly in order to get something, or are simply good people. Vulnerable seniors can be taken advantage of anywhere, including their home country. As a woman close to retirement and no family, I'll be depending on hired help if and when I need it. This is unaffordable for me in the US, so I can only hope I get the care I need and not worry who's going to get my property. I won't be needing it after death.
Love all your top five(s)❤️
Thank you 🙏
Enjoyed interview. I just retired june,2023 and very interested in moving to hot...love this channel. Been watching since 2021. Thanks for this information. I'm 66 years old
Hello Maggie
So nice to see you.
*Lucca health care is African American hospital in Ghana* i think you did not contact right people in Ghana 🇬🇭
Hi Stephanie and Roshida. You both have inspired me to explore expatriating to other countries so that I can live my best life. Well, I had to postpone my plans for personal reasons, but now I am back. Thank you for this show about Panama. When I first was thinking about relocating my mind was set on Mexico, but since working with someone from Panama, I began to open my options to other areas. I need to figure out how to get jump started again. Where should I begin?
Go visit
Very informative stuff. Happy I found this.
Joberg is in Stage 6 load shedding. Secure a generator ASAP! The infrastructure in S. Africa isn’t that great either. The driving apps even list potholes.
Yes. There are that many.
“Thank You!” for sharing
❤️🖤💚
I am in new subscriber am 73 years old female and was thinking about retiring in Panama also I have Africa on my mind … hoping to learn more fr this channel
I love this😍🤩
Love,Love this interview! Wishing Maggie all the best on her next adventure in the Peace Corp! Thank you Ladies for having this very interesting "Senior" citizen on your program!!
Thank you. It's been amazing thus far.
LOL...I am definitely a "senior citizen" in the Peace Corps 🤣🤣
Im eager to leave the US im going to do research on Panama definitely
Maggie's points on Ghana is absolutely correct. The bad and good. Ghana's not ready for the 21st century.
The Ghana return to Africa call was for you to come and contribute to the development and not otherwise. If Africa gets developed like the western world, its going to be difficult for black Americans to get in so come now and contribute
And it doesn't make sense why you will give your all to another country and expect another country to take care of you at your dying age
@@cedibill5943 🤥🤣
Jamaica, pananma, certain African countries, bahamas, mexico, costa rica, these are the best places also italy the most likely place where you are safe and welcome. other places not so much.
She’s an awesome lady ❤ much love and peace be upon her
This is what I have been thinking about!
Wow. This interview was awesome. So many aspects of her journey were covered, esp the health care and Peace Corp as a means to try different places. Wow. Im physically challenged. I use a cane and rollator. I want to know more abt navigating the world, places that are good for black people, in particular but where I can manage all aspects of my health care. But this was really helpful!
@disabled.diva.travels on Instagram uses a cane or scooter for mobility and travels all year round. She has been very helpful for our subscribers who need her: instagram.com/disabled.diva.travels/
@exodussummit Ill ck her out! Thank you. Maybe one day you'll hear from me 😃 from the road too!
I really enjoyed listening to Maggie talk today
Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much 🙏
Thanks ladies.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching! 💗
Her story is so dope!
I neglected to mentioned that I visited Ghana in July 2023. Ms. Lazarre, did mentioned some points that would make me not make Ghana a retirement place for me. However, the people are WONDERFUL. Different strokes for different folks. I am open-minded when it comes to education. It is also Healthy to get others opinions/views, especially when establishing programs in (Public health, education) etc.. to benefit our community. Maggie, you would have been STAGNANT in Ghana. I love your SPIRIT. Keep-on-Keeping-on. God Bless!
Boquete in the mountain of Panama is cooler and lovely, but very pricey now and many boho Karens... but it's a nice place and very good healthcare.
