Actually go to Panama and experience it for yourself.
GRITS! I'm screaming! 😂 Love me some Sonia and Big Will!
Great information and very insightful, especially coming from folks who actually live here. Thank you.
New subbie here…I just purchased a home in WV only to be able to sell it so I can leave the states. I plan on visiting PANAMA this spring bearing so many wonderful things about the people the culture the pleasant nature like I can’t wait to visit❤
Thank you so very much for listening to your Subscribers as promised. Much appreciated, and best wishes always.
Great and diverse content.
This video is one the BEST yet! Nice work and info.
Many thanks to the maker and participants for sharing.
I can't wait to see the rest of the series.
We are moving to Panama this year.
I’ll be visiting Panama City for the first time this Xmas and CANNOT WAIT. I fell in love with Costa Rica in 2005 and now Panama is moving up on my expat countries list.
OUTSTANDING!!! This is tremendously helpful. Thank you SO much!!!
This was well done and such an informative video! I will be back in Panama in late September 2024 to do a relocation tour of the country. This was very helpful to me. 👍🏾💯💯
Here in 🇵🇦 now 👀
Shonuff 👍🏽👍🏽
Same, living overseas miss the same things, but it provides them a place to visit and get a taste of life out of US and most, if not everyone, learn the why many Americans are choosing to live overseas for a better quality of life as you all mentioned (safety, no overdose of politics being crammed down your throat, more peace of mind, etc..)
Enjoy Panama and New way of living 🎉🎉🎉
I am an Occupational therapist and soon ESL teacher,could I
come too? I love that good people are moving there so it gets better,not worst.❤❤❤
Great job!!
Son migrantes también
Thank you for sharing perspectives from a few folks who have transitioned to Panama. Q: For a first time visit, would you recommend Airbnb in San Francisco or Casco Viejo?
Excellent, insightful questions asked of the participants. Engaging content--thank you!
@@martinmintman5279 aww thank you. Glad to hear that you enjoyed it.
Is there an expat school for kids?
I Grew up the the Canal Zone..it was Great 👍 until someone gave my home away 😢😢
Wow got to look into that area
I wasn't a fan
If you're raising your kids in Panama and they're not in a private school it's tantamount to child abuse. Public schools here are rated in the lowest 20% internationally by OECD, just behind Egypt. A high school grad's public education is equivalent to a 7th grade education in OECD countries. Anecdotally ..... I was at a neighbor's house while their daughter was doing her homework at the kitchen table. She had a map of Central America with a list of country names, each in a different color. She was using crayons to color in the map with the color corresponding to the list. She was in the EIGHTH EFFING GRADE! But, they're avery warm and welcoming people, blah, blah, blah
Sadly not all private schools here are any better, definitely look at the curriculum that they are offering before enrolling them!
@@omaribarra8991 wow for the first time I am so happy that my children are grown. I do have grandkids. I guess they’ll be visiting me here.
Why do I pay a car toll to go Colon? Are there other areas a toll is paid? I paid no toll to go Coronado and Rio Hato.
I actually have the same question lol.
If you use corredor norte or sur you have to pay a toll
@@AbroadAbilityI have questions 😢 i visited panama twice and decided I would live there.. but I need someone I could relate certain questions to like what’s the process, how do I get those purchase the relocation tour guide etc
Wow!
That’s me. I’ll probably was just miss family. I can deal with everything else.
Nice video, thanks! Do you have a good veterinarian? I noted the one dog...
Hi man, I'm from South african Thanks for the information about cartagena. Please give some contact information in Colombia, like a guide and so on
Thanks
Wow ❤I loved this production. Questions are answered from different perspectives. Thank you for the opportunity to share a little bit of me with your audience
I definitely would love on the beach. I’m a beach baby
Great series. Looking forward to part 2!!
How about farming ?
Great video. We are coming in two weeks to explore moving and start the residency process. Thank you for the info!
@@thomasrobinson2164 you are most welcome. Good luck with your residency! 👊🏽🇵🇦🎉
Love the Tico!🎉
I do not recommend anyone move to Panama. It is a very uncomfortable country to live in. You are going to have a house with a million problems (water leaks and gas leaks are very common in Panama). You are going to live without drinking water because the water system in Panama is very primitive and always damaged, the city runs out of water for several days. During the summer you will breathe the toxic smoke from the huge garbage dump in the middle of the city, there is always fire and that is terrible. If you buy an apartment on the beach, you will always live without drinking water and also without electricity. To that we must add the garbage in the streets, the supermarkets with a very limited variety of products.
