Hello. I absolutely love this video. I’m a 58 year old young lady and I’m also a Panamanian living in the USA, my dream retirement plan is to move back to Panama and enjoy the rest of my life. I’m also very introvert and I love just being by myself. I’m going to continue following you so when it’s time for me to make the move I can get good advice from you. Thanks for sharing this video.
I've reached the stage where I want a simplier, easier life in a warm environment. You will see me soon. Loving how you live, what you do and what you share. Thank you!🤩
I enjoy watching you, thank you for sharing your day and experiences with us. By the way you look fabulous. Ageless and timeless lady. Looking forward to meeting you, hopefully next year in Panama.
I appreciate this video soo much. Very helpful, it is a new thing to learn how to slow down and enjoy this new way of living. Thank you for all you share.
66 is young. My mom is 89 and she still exercises. You have lots of time girl. See you in Panama soon. It's one of my stops cause I'm not ready too settle down yet. :)
It's OK to feel nervous...just try to prepare yourself emotionally..start preparing for your life away from work, hobbies, exercising, volunteer opportunities. It helps to think of retirement as a new beginning, doing things you could not. It can be quite enjoyable. Thanks for watching and for sharing.
Maggie, I like your spirit. Thanks for sharing your routine with us. Like you I am 66 and know it’s important to keep moving. I do yoga 3 times a week at the Senior Center. Stretching is very important. I do that even before getting out of bed. I also walk at least 3 days a week (one of those days is Saturdays when I walk with my girlfriends.). I also belong to a Community Gospel choir (not religious, but do things that bring me joy.) I volunteer once a week at an after-school program.
@@singlewomenretiringabroadI know that I will be looking at different countries, because my ultimate goal is to move out of the US. But, in the immediate future, I need to take care of my aging mom. She just turned 90 and I feel lucky to still have her with us. I live in California, you are invited to visit any time.
Hi Maggie! Thanks so much for sharing some of your daily life experiences in Panama! Thoroughly enjoyed this video! As a fellow introvert, I appreciate your guidance and insights on how to live one's best life in Panama. Thanks again for all that you do!
You are describing me. I am 68 soon and alone for over 15 yrs. Loving to go for walks with my dog and lying in the sun as long as I want. took my horse for a walk yesterday. But I cannot stop learning. So I am learning to edit videos from a professional. Slower and simpler. thanks You.
Hey Maggie thanks so much for sharing a little bit of your private space. Beautiful apartment, and I💜 the Vista from your balcony. Still waiting for my home sale. Tomorrow being Sunday I have an Open House and pray that the Lord send the right person. I am so dying to be there, I must exert Patience 😊. So good seeing you and look forward to meeting U upon my arrival! Cuidate 👋🌹
Hola... really. I've never seen it there...got at at Merca once, but Riba has been the most consistent.. although I'm told they always have it at Foodies. Thanks for writing.
where/how did you make all your friend connections after you moved? That is hard enough to do over 65 in USA now, but in a new country it seems daunting
Hola...I befriended a couple of ladies prior to moving but things did not go so well once I got here. I created SWRA and am creating/developing a sisterhood on the ground. It takes time and you have to be intentional about developing new friendships...a give and take type of relationship. Thanks for writing.
Greetings. I am my research (traveling) mode. Appreciate your content. Do you have any suggestions for a ext stay in Panama or airbnb owed by a native of the city so I am doing business with them?
Hola...a lot of the AirBnBs and rentals are owned by locals or expats living abroad. If that is something that is important to you, please mention it to your realtor. I do know that most owners don't do short-term rentals (it's the law, nothing less than 45 days). Your best bet is an AirBnB. Good luck and thanks for watching and for your comment/question.
You look 👀 beautiful darling, much love 🧡 from Nairobi Kenya 🇰🇪, got your channel when you interviewed Maddam Christine , iam back to Africa Nairobi been in Europe for long now enjoying my motherland 🙏🙏🙏🇰🇪, welcome to Kenya dear ❤️
Wonderful i am 62 and ready for Panama! Where exactly are you in Panama. I also am an introvert and do not want city center. I need economy as I love on disability only. Can you share more of your specific expenses plese?
Hola, costs will totally depend on your budget and choices. I am not willing to share specific expenses here. As a rule, rent runs $800-1500+/month based on location and amenities, utilities $80-200/month, food cost vary, cable/internet/cell phone about $100/month. Please take time assess your situation including income to see if Panama is a good fit. You do have options. Thanks for writing.
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.

They have okra at the San Felipe market. One of the inside fruit/veggie vendors
Hola... really. I've never seen it there...got at at Merca once, but Riba has been the most consistent.. although I'm told they always have it at Foodies. Thanks for writing.
@@singlewomenretiringabroad I thought about you when I saw it there. There were about 4 pieces per bag. The vendor is in the middle section
