Thank you for the information. ❤ I really appreciate it! 25cents 😮 wow, it's inexpensive here in Ohio as well less then $2 but geez .25 is mind blowing 🤯
Hi Maggie, enjoy your videos so much. After some soul-searching I’ve realized that moving out of the U.S. at present is not reasonable for me at this time. You have been so helpful and I will continue to watch you on UTube🤗🙏🏻🥰
@@victoriagallop9164 thanks for watching. It's always best to have clarity about the possibilities and timing of such a big move. I'm glad you'll still be watching.
Hello and nice information about public transportation and there is city called san francisco like in usa in Panama and l was in Panama in 1970,s for dedication of bahai temple. I remember seeing the Panama canal.the weather is very hot and muggy in Panama city l remember.
Hi and thanks for reaching out. Yes, indeed, the weather is indeed tropical...hot and humid...we live with every day. The evening can be pleasant and balmy...like it was last night. We just adjust..
Thank you very much, Maggie! Can I use Visa Card in all buses and metro (as in London) or only in some buses? I live in Brasilia/Brazil and here, they accept visa card only in some buses..
Hola, I've seen the visa/mc used at the metro station. I'm not sure you can use them on the buses. Most folks just get the metro card. The cc is used in an emergency. Thanks for watching.
It shouldn't...remember, Panama has very different vibes and climates. Other areas are pretty quiet. You get to choose where to settle based on your likes and dislikes. Don't despair, come for a visit and experience different areas for yourself. It's all good.
Hello I am planning a trip to Panama in July. It's going to be a partially leisure and partially business trip looking at potential areas to relocate such as David, Boquette, Coronado, or Bocas Del Toro. Can we obtain a private driver to plan these trips? Do you have any recommendations?
Hola...Marc Vargas is a local and recommended by expats.. not sure if he can physically take you to all those places but he is well connected and will guide you well. Please message me on the Facebook page (same SWRA name) and I will give you his contact info.
Welcome!! Thanks for reaching out. I've been here since January 2023. I moved here alone, retired early at 62. I love it here. Please reach out when you arrive in Panama and ask any questions you might have.
Hi, thanks for reaching out. You need a local number to do any transaction in Panama (utilities, cable etc)...You can keep your phone, just get a dual SIM card (make sure your phone has that capability).
I will move to Panama and visit my home in the U.S. if I find it affordable. Will be there soon after a stop at a Spanish immersion class in another country that is definitely more affordable than the ones I found in Panama. If you know of an affordable Spanish tutor in Panama, please give us the information. I am traveling with my child whom I am homeschooling.

Hi good morning it's my first time visiting panama and I'm having a bit of trouble, do you do personal tour guide??
Thank you for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear that. What type of trouble are you having?
I will move to Panama and visit my home in the U.S. if I find it affordable.

Oh I'm sorry...I've never looked into those classes. Good luck!
in 2019 I caught a bus from campo limburg to tocumen airport for 50 cents.
Wow...that's awesome. We now have a metro stop right at the airport...amazing.
You are very close to become a real panameña 😂😂😂diablosrojos😂😂😂
I know right...I've been on those diablos...whew...😀😀 but I loved the experience...that's Panama. Thanks for watching
