I'm a single 62 year old black man looking seriously at moving to Panama next year. So glad to have come across this site. I live in Florida now.
My heart ached when Ms. Charlotte started to cry. I know where she is coming from and I plan on moving out of the U.S. soon for the same exact reason of safety.
Have any places in mind??
@@toddmaek5436 Yes! I am looking at Panama City, Panama or Boquete.
❤️
I moved out of the US because it is becoming like south Africa.
@@Cinemagirl9189 have you moved yet?
I needed to witness this; thank you for your honesty and transparency Charlotte. Blessings.🙏🏾
Thank you for including Colon ! I am not from there but heard of it from my Panamanian friends since the 1970s.
Panama is in my top 3 places to move to. Whenever that move comes, I will be so happy. I’ve lived in Brazil and spent a Summer in Berlin, plus traveling to other places. The US was always just so hard for me to come back to. The stress, the work-culture, the terrible unhealthy food, healthcare making us broke and the cost of living… I’m just so over it. I’m ready for a much more laidback lifestyle and happier atmosphere.
Ohhh and to hear about the Healthcare for Veterans, that’s awesome. My husband is a retired veteran too.
Great interview!!! Charlotte I so appreciate your honesty and vulnerability. You named the reasons why I look forward to leaving and finding somewhere to feel and live free. How I wish that I could retire now, I'd be on the next plane out of here. One day...
Thank you Ms. Carla
I've just finished listening to a morning of Stephanie Perry and logged straight on to my laptop to find Charlotte Van Horn. So here I am on your channel and I've subscribed. I need someone to help me get on Facebook just for ex-pats and in particular Charlotte's group. I'm considering, like Stephanie, spending a few months in the sun each winter. I'm living in London, England, and I'm currently suffering from anemia and vitamin D deficiency. Covid kept the world indoors and locked away for those of us in a cold climate. Ladies, look out here I come!!!!
Congratulations, very positive and informative, stay strong, may God bless you always.I am also a Afro Latino from Panama 🇵🇦, my father was also one of the many black men who had to work in the Panama Canal Zone, he was a 🍖 meat cutter.(butcher) for the American market in Panama. I also a retired Air Force Veteran living in California. Thank you.
Loved Ms Charlotte. I am Canadian, my partner is originally from Panama and we will be moving back to Panama to retire!
Excellent interview Charlotte! I hope to see you again soon in Panama!
Thanks Rhonda!! You should come in January! Mary & Ron are coming! I’m so excited. I pray you are well
@@BlackExpatsinPanama going to London in April. Maybe I’ll see you in 2023!
@@rhondalyle2161 AWESOME!!!
Great interview - more of us are leaving the US for the same reasons..its stressful living with a target on your back.
This lady is awesome. Great conversation ladies.
I can understand that "difference" she is talking about. Ive felt that difference many times before. Planning on visiting soon. Might even be next month who knows
Loved the interview. Thank you International Living for doing it and thank you Charlotte for your candor. See you in Panama Charlotte.🤗
Gracias!!

Is it ok to get your guest’s contact info?
I am interested to visit Panama as an expat to retire next year. Thanks
Mrs Charlotte thank you for sharing about the black experience in Panama. I was not considering Panama, because i heard that Panamanian treated there black citizens like second class. I will re look at Panama.
I appreciated your candor Charlotte. Listening to you speak-- you are so relatable. You're from Glassboro, NJ basically a Philly suburb. I lived most of my life in Philly area. I am going to look for your FB group!
Extremely enlightening and informative…..thank you to the both of you.
I hope I get to meet you both when I get there! My house is up for sale and I have packed my things to ship and for my relocation tour. I am determined to live my retirement in Panama.
Thank you Charlotte for sharing. Loved your transparency. I visited Panama last year in 2022 on a business trip. I plan to return again for a possible relocation tour in 2023. Until then. Hope to see you soon.
I live in Queretaro, and I speak Spanish as a second language since age 14. 60 years of Acapulco and other countries around the world.
Wow. She is 100% right. A lot of us Africans are trying to leave the USA 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Wonderful interview! Genuine and factual.🌻
sisters i love all that your doing. i am planning my retirement in Panama and your helping me plan my future. God bless!
The title caught my eye. I watched some of the video but it seemed to be more about the lady and her relationship with her husband and daughter. 🤔
Love this interview ❤❤
Hello! I'm from 😊Vineland. I'm also preparing to go to Panama.
Funny- Im in northern va (NOVA) - i have no plans on staying here once my retirement starts - t'aint no way
Heeeey!! I'm in NOVA too and were planning on expating to Panama (it was between Panama and Costa Rica but we chose Panama for now) next summer. My husband, myself and our kids are visiting this summer to get a feel of the land and get an idea of where we'd like to first live. So exciting to leave here !!
11am pst please send link for your site.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you both for the information ☺️.
Awesome-thank you

Hello Mrs. Charlotte I plan on moving to Panama in 4 yrs my oldest will be 18 and my two youngest children will be 8 and 9. How is the school system private and public?
Btw, Florida still has mosquito trucks :)
LOL
Truth!! Looking for alternative country to US as tired of nonsense
How would this be for a 72 year old artist
Do you mean as far as retiring in Panama?
Hi. Please add me to the group. Will be there early next year.
My husband and I and our son and younger sister were moving there in two months I need friends should be Christian's
I'm taking a sabbatical to reset my life. I have chosen Panama as my sanctuary. I'm so excited about everything Charlotte has had to say. The exodus of Black Americans from the US is invigorating!
Los panameños nativos piensan menos en ti que los blancos en los Estados Unidos. Realmente necesitas investigar la cultura, no lo que te dicen los tours. A la mayoría no le gustan los negros de los estados porque ELLOS te perciben erróneamente como un problema como lo haces con los blancos en los Estados Unidos. No quieren ladrones ni asesinos aquí de ningún color y los estadounidenses son percibidos como eso. Aquí la gente no aguanta ninguna tontería de extranjeros negros, blancos, rojos o amarillos. Su país bombardeó Panamá y ejecutó gente aquí en los días de Noreiga y muchos recuerdan eso y se lo dijeron a sus hijos. Los americanos blancos a los que se teme no son cosa de temer allí ni de ningún otro no panameño. Sepa esto, al igual que en los Estados Unidos, lo más probable es que si lo roban o lo asaltan en Panamá, será por una persona de color. Otra cosa, si un panameño te roba, lo más probable es que te mate, especialmente si hay dinero de por medio. Manténgase alejado de Colón o la Ciudad de Panamá si quiere evitar el crimen. Boquete es el mejor lugar para los estadounidenses. Debería traer más dinero porque los empresarios estadounidenses están cobrando el precio gringo.
gracias, Jessica for this wonderful interview with Ms Charlotte! your last question really drew out such heart-felt and honest feelings, why most of us are leaving the states... to finally breathe a deep breath, without the weight of oppression. see you soon :)
Oh yes!! It’s a completely organic response. I’m so grateful for having Panama in my life.
Thanks Jessica. This was a great interview. I'm about to start living in Panama as a remote worker (aka digital nomad) under Panama's new Remote Worker Visa Program. I'd be great to see some a segment on remote workers in Panama and understand how they have adapted to International living while being a remote worker.
Great Interview. Got me ready to come to Panama. Keep up the good work ladies!
I’ll keep the light on for you ❤️
Hey Jessica I appreciate your accurate info in regards to the cimarrones. I wanna look into a property out there. Maybe I could connect with you as a conduit. Thanks and blessings.
Excellent and detailed interview Charlotte!
Thank you!🙏🏽
Wow thank you so much for the interview. It was very helpful.
I am in the DC area also and plan to travel to Panama in a couple of months. Can you recommend nice places to visit including beaches during my visit?
🤲🍋🍊🇨🇦🤲🍋🍊🇨🇦
Very engrossing story from Charlotte ! Thank you to Ramesch ( is it a last name from India ?) for providing it ! I can relate to this story as a Canadian of mixed heritage. I went to Colon city in early November 2022 and was taken aback by the street trash ( for god's sake can people living on the street block organize themselves to get rid of it, drums on the four corners) and the mistrust leveled at me ( a senior citizen) by some landlady asking to pay 5 to six months' rent in advance for an empty 2-bedroom apt for rent ?
Beautiful. Thank you
Yay Glassboro!
Great interview! Thank you.
Coming for a conference in Panama.
Hi . . . check us out, maybe you will be here during a BEIP event.
@@BlackExpatsinPanama Where how can I learn more? Are you on Whatsapp? I'm from the US in Maryland. Just want to create friends and allies there.
I would love to live here!!!!
I loved this video, so inspirational. I'm a 45 and plan to visit as this is on my list of places to retire and I will retire early so I can live a peaceful life without all the stress. Thanks for sharing.
Job well done Queen! Planning to take a vacation next week to Panama, do I need shots?
