I love seeing people living comfortably where ever they are.
They love living in Panama!
good person.
Very nice to see people worked hard all their life in peaceful and happy places Amen 🙏🏻
I am so happy you guys love my country. Actually, I grew up in Chitré. I couldn’t wait to retire myself there. Great advise, not to buy, rent first! I do agree!
We'll have a new Chitre video soon! You will love it!
Wow! That yard and landscaping is beautiful.
Super nice couple, living the life. Great video!
Very Nice couple with an honest opinion and well documented lifestyle experience in Panama. Congrats
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful home , awesome weather
Wonderful job on this video! Thank you so much for taking the time to share. ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Love your attitude. I plan to retire in Panama as well. Thinking of Chitre proper and goal is to Intergrate with to Panamanians and their culture.
Thanks for watching the video! Glad you enjoyed it!
Terri and Terry, what a wonderful place, everything you could want or need. If you ever decide to move I might know someone who would be happy to move in. Yours truly. Thanks for the info.
Appreciate the info. Consider bringing them back but include pictures of the shops and things they are talking about, along with a house tour. 👍🏾
I told the videographer to get shots of ALL those things they were talking about but he let me down. I had a choice to scrap the video or go with what we had. The info is good so I went with what we have. Very disappointed in the videographer.
@@PanamaRelocationTours that's too bad. Regardless, I got a lot from the video and I'm looking forward to my Panama trip next year.
@@PanamaRelocationTours If someone doesn't come with a stamp of approval from someone I know, they don't get hired.
@@PanamaRelocationTours well when I move down I’m bringing my drone. 😂
@@guillermogouldburn763 we've used the video guy many times before. He always did a good job. But not this time.
sounds perfect! Can't wait to check it out!
You should! You will love Panama!
Hi 2 Terries. We loved your video and extremely informative.
Glad it was helpful!
I love love love the grounds of this property. I've gotta take a trip to Panama!
You should! You'll be AMAZED when you see how beautiful Panama is
@@PanamaRelocationTours My wife mentioned Panama to me after retirement. Now she says she created a monster. That it's become an obsession of mine. I don't think she thought I'd take it that serious. hahaha 😁
What a great Video! A lot of my family is from Indianapolis and we go to the State Fair every year, but we are looking at relocating to avoid those winters! Thanks for sharing your story and advice
Thanks for watching
Enjoyed it video. Beautiful! Enjoy ur paradise.
Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks for a terrific story and beautiful plants and trees in this interview... :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience living in Panama. I am happy you had made the right choice.
I would love to live at such a peaceful beautiful place with fresh clean ocean air to breathe. Thanks for posting the video.
Beautiful location.
My mother was from Sabanagrande, Guarare my father USA and I grow up in San Jose be San Carlos. Have fun memories of Los Santos. Enjoy from Dallas, Texas
Nice video! Thank you for the info.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Mariana I'm Hugue from Brussels and I got my.pension recently. I've decided to move to.Panama basically for fiscal.reasons as the hungry Belgian Taxman shaves my.pension y 500 € and I can't have that. But also in the last year I watched all kinds of vlogs by people who made the move already and I like everything I see like the easy to get Pensionado visa, the jubilao discounts that go with it, the coffee I'm a if coffee drinker and i know that Panama has a very fertile soil being volcanic. So I'll come in August for about a .month first in Boquete to enjoy the coffee where it grows then I'll go to Bocas del Toro to enjoy the beaches. I believe that having been expat in many countries
I know i can take the heat. And it rains also a lot in Brussels so the rain I'm not requiring it. That's anorher reason for the Carribean place of Panama. So I'm eagerly waiting the departure and I'll.go for the adventure with all my heart. Cheers Hugue
Ah I almost forgot I come in July to explore and open ING a bank account as the office dès pensions have already confirmed they will pay to.Panama. So I'll go back to Belgium for one week to give them the form they need t o pay then back to Panama for good
Hugue, you will LOVE living in Panama!
I love all the information. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching
ThankYOU! for doing the video.
Good to see that other Hoosiers have chosen Panama!!
GREAT VIDEO!!
Glad you enjoyed it
When I relocate, I want to be close to you all! You have a very nice place, and sitting on the porch practicing Spanish would be fun. This is a great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Glad you enjoyed the video
Thank for advice !
Always welcome
My hats off to them. All those critters would 😳
very nice....enjoy every moment
Thank you!
Waoooooo bellissima panama %%%% saludos desde suiza 🇨🇭
Lovely loving couple. Enjoy your retirement.
I loved your video very informative I'm am wanting to buy there and Some day retire there
It's really better to RENT for at least a year before you buy.
Great video ❤ folks!! It is like I know you somehow! Thanks!
Interesting info about Chitre.
Chitre is a great place to live in Panama
Beaitiful..👏🏼
Nice video. Right on the beach. So cool except for the wildlife/natural wonders.
Thanks for watching the video! The wildlife leaves you alone. They are just passing through
Enjoyable video. The title suggests a home tour, which I did not see.
the title said a $400 rental - nothing about a home tour.
@@PanamaRelocationTours This is the title: $400 per Month Two Bedroom Oceanfront Home Near Chitre. TH-cam videos about homes typically show the exterior and interior of the homes.
Thanks for the great information! I would love to find a place to rent nearby and have you both for neighbors!
You guys seem to get the hang of the Panama 🇵🇦 culture. Am so glad for both of you that thighs seem to be working for you. Also good job 👍 for learning the language Spanish I feel that if you move to a country it is important to learn the language. Keep enjoying my country of great people and we enjoy having diversity with people from other countries. Panama is call “the melting pot” because we embrace diversity and we have people from so many parts of the world 🌎
They love living in Panama!
Congratulations. Great video and I need to find out who you go out fishing with. What a great deal. 😀
There are several "captains" that will take you out fishing off of Playa Arenal in Pedasi. Tuna, dorado & corvina are what we fish for (mostly yellowfin tuna).
@@tjo50511 Hi, have you ever fished the beach in front of your house or seen others fish the beaches in that area? It doesn't look particularly good compared to the Pedasi area but was just curious?
@@lizardwhisperer1403 , a little. I primarily go for tuna. Not much tuna here. There's a lot of other fish though. There is actually a port (El Puerto de Guarare) about a quarter mile down the beach that is a fishing port. They catch Dorado, Pargo and who knows what else every day.
@Terry Johnson - Thank you, inshore pargo and corvina sound like fun between pelagic trips.
Furnished 2-bedroom ocean front home for 400 dollars a month ?
It would have been great to see the INSIDE to get a better idea .
I agree but they did not want to show the inside of their home. See some of our other videos for an inside tour.
What are the cel signals / data speeds in such a remote area?
Holy smoke a 500 lb fish! Id love to know the availability of other cottages there.
This is beautiful, I need to look up that area...I can't do the boa constrictor though
You'll be impressed with that area.
@@PanamaRelocationTours I booked your tour for end of July, I took the last seat
Hi, looks beautiful, is it overcast much of the time ? What month was this filmed ? Thank You
it will be more overcast in September, October and November ... but usually only overcast after noonish.
You are both adorable and I loved your video. I may have miss the weather info. How is it? You are living the good life. I would like to give it a try. I'm senior living in Auburn Ca.
It's warm in the Azuero. Daytime temps are 85-90F
Thank you!
I wanna be on my way
My dad and stepmom were Terry and Terri. Lol
This is a very nice video and lovely area. I want to be neighbors with these people 😊🤷♂️.
Me too 😀🙃
Hola, have you done a video on Santiago yet? It's a very nice city too!
We have not done a video on Santiago yet. Coming soon....
@@PanamaRelocationTours That'll be wonderful. I lived there for long enough to fall in love with the place, the whole of Veraguas, actually. I'm in South Africa now, but spending every moment working on getting back to Santiago. Hope it happens soon. Stay safe, and thanks for all of the wonderful videos.
Enjoyed your video! The only question I have concerns the name of the town being the same as that pesky little bug, the Chitre. I have to wonder if this is a problem in your daily life?
Chitre is not a buggy town. It was not named after a US bug.
Would love to see a home tour.
Sorry, they did not want to show the inside of their home.
I am contemplating going back to Panama 🇵🇦 and would love to find a home in that price range with all that beautiful landscaping, wow it is gorgeous
Any home break-ins or home invasions in your area over past two years? Costa Rica is famous for that. Can be scary living in a home that is easy to break in.
One of the reasons we chose this area is the low crime rate. Break ins pretty much happen to empty houses. I don't know of any home invasions in this area. They do happen occasionaly in areas with high concentrations of gringos or rich people.
Ironically, many U.S. citizens leave their country to live in a Latin American country because it's affordable for them. On the other hand, other people are trying to become legal in a country like the USA where the crime scene is enormous, there is no free health system.... you name it. GO FIGURE!!!
enormous crime in USA? Where?
@@emt7771 We have 200 million guns and exponentially more mass shootings than anywhere else on earth.
i added you you both are cool..lol.
Is there a reason we never see the inside of the house? Seems important, what you get for the money.
Rice everyday. Cheapest food to add to everything.
Yes, you are right
It would be interesting to hear how the 2 Terries are doing now 2yrs later? Hope fully still healthy. Has rent changed? Are they still living in same spot? Hope they could respond to these questions....
They are still in the same place with the same rent.
She said there's a good cardiac care hospital, is it Anita Moreno or Gustavo Nelson Colledo? Which of this 2 hospitals is better?
Anita Moreno is the heart hospital. We have done most of our hospital stuff at Gustavo Nelson.
How will living close to equader help? Has it helped you?
It has helped her. Temperatures are consistent. No extreme cold or heat like North America
We don't know exactly why but it has helped her a lot!
HI you said you moved to that more remote area because you wanted to live in a lower crime area. Yours is the first Panamanian house I've seen on the internet that does not have metal bars on the windows. Where was the higher crime area(s) you were familiar with and wanted to avoid? Thank you.
beach areas close to the borders with Costa Rica have more crime. Colon, on the Caribbean side has more crime.
Very Nice couple with an honest opinion, How did you go about finding this house the $400 rent?
Terri learned about it at an expat get together. Word of mouth is always the best way to find rentals in Panama.
Anyone on here have experience with WorldWide Medical for health insurance? How much does a 50-60 year old pay for like their "Security" policy? I cant seem to find any pricing on their website
We go out to eat.... A LOT...like 12 times a day
You should try surf fishing. You are so close to the beach.
Maybe one day!
They mention that they can’t grow as many different garden crops there due to “less sunlight” than the mountains. Is that due to their shady lot, fog, or lots of cloud cover?
It;s too hot there to grow most veggies
Whats it like swimming in the ocean there? Rip tides?
There are no rip tides in that area. The swimming is great!
What are the costs of some of the lobster? Here it's either non available of +$25 a pound
about $5 a pound for lobster. You really can LIVE BETTER for LESS in Panama!
Hello, How long did it take you to find your house? Thanks
it took about a month to find the perfect place.
Is there such a thing as room mating in your area? Maybe for about 3 months? I'll be retiring around June 2023 and wanted to see if I like and can afford to live there? I'll be getting Social Security about $1550.00 USD per month.
Craigslist sometimes has ads for renting a room in that area and others in Panama.
What are the daily temps?
in that area mid-80s. F
Pretty much in the 80's 365 days a year.
Wait, stop the press, did he say Boa Constrictors?? Those are the ones that can get up to about 10 feet and weigh 100 lbs. No thanks. No gracias. Nope. Count me out. I'd have to move out of that pretty house and leave it to the snake, with all my stuff in it. I'm not even sure I want to move to Panama now.
If you live at a higher elevation, you don't have to worry about snakes in Panama!
You do have poison snakes in the USA too. Only saying. - If you thinking of moving to a hot climate like Panama- the animal world is changing. They did forget to mention Scorpions, Crocodiles, highly poisonous water snakes and much more. Bienvenido a panamá! ;-)
No drive by shootings. Crime is mostly petty theft. Crimes of violence are very rare out here. I'll gladly face a snake or two instead of MS-13.
I lived in southern Indiana before moving to Panama. There were Timber rattlesnakes and copperheads all over the woods. There are dangerous critters all over the world. It's not unique to Panama.
What a wonderful story and adventure you are living! A jaguar! Giant anteater! How bad are the mosquitos? Poisonous snakes? Humidity? Scorpions in the woodpile? Do you get good steady breezes? Do you need a/c? Did your dog fly down with you?
We often meet with them during a Panama Relocation Tour. That's a good time to ask your questions.
Do you get amazon packages? Thx
You can get Amazon order but they have to go through a mail forwarding company in Panama. panamarelocationtours.com/how-to-get-amazon-orders-and-mail-in-panama
@@PanamaRelocationTours thank you for the information. It was interesting!
ZZ Top!
I LOVE ZZ Top music!
is it only paying members to PRT's that get assistance in finding houses to rent as in this video as I've been trying to find a little place that is private end secluded near the beach for a decade but no luck. Couldn't hear what they were saying as my sound not working on pc
Just last week, we helped 5 people find beach houses that were all less than $600 a month. One of the houses was a furnished 1 bedroom for $400 a month! It pays to get the Complete Panama Relocation Guide panamarelocationtours.com/guide
The best way to find a decent rental is put your boots on the ground. The best deals aren't available on the internet.
Boa Constrictor??? Jaguar??? Um no thank you!!
Always have a higher ground po e for tsunami never know be ready
Panama has never had a tsunami.
Ils font comment pour trouver des maisons en bord de mer à ce prix là. Dans les agences immobilières à ce prix là on n'a qu'un bungalow....
How can I get a listing of beach house for rent in Panama?
Craigslist panama has some listings but most beach rentals are never advertised. You find then by being in Panama and talking to people.
Pacific side?
Yes, Pacific side
yes.
Why didn’t you show the inside of your house?
they prefer to be private
🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦
Is this house for rent long term!?
This house is already rented long term by the people in the video
Wait, did she just say she gets coconut flakes from the states? That’s a huge waste of money? Why not just grate an actual coconut 🥥?
Exactly! They even have coconuts on their property. And, you can buy coconut flakes at any grocery store in Panama.
We have several coconut palms on the property but the coconuts are about 40 feet up. I'm not climbing up to get them.
@@tjo50511 good evening! Is there a river nearby in the video connected to the ocean? Hope you guys are well! Saludos ftom Boston!
But not SWEETENED coconut flakes.
@@emt7771 yes, the Rio Guarare is about 1/8th of a mile down the beach.
Hello can help me with a place in that area please I offered that $400 I only need 1 bedroom fully furnished please.
There are many properties in that area for $400 or less. Our property managers listed in the Online Guide can show you several. panamarelocationtours.com/guide
I've read two comments about the misleading title of this video (which my wife and I agree it is) and we are very surprised at the rude responses from Panama Relocation tours when this was commented on.
Even in your description of the video, you specifically state they rent a furnished, two bedroom ocean-front house for $400 a month. Why would you mention that if you are not going to show it?
Neat, how much inflation after one year 12 percent
the price is the same -- no increases.
@@PanamaRelocationTours ❤️❤️❤️
Do y'all speak fluent Spanish?
not yet but they speak enough Spanish to communicate just fine!
@@PanamaRelocationTours Creo que es muy importante hablar Español, por eso estoy estudiando para mejorar.
JoBethK, that was a great and important question that you asked. I truly hope that [with the use of the U.S. dollar] U.S. Americans that become long term guests/residents of Panama respect its people, culture, food, traditions and language enough to care to learn it fluently instead of expecting natives to cater to us. U.S. Americans collectively and unanimously are primarily the least bilingual in the world and can barely speak the English language properly. I truly hope that the kindness of people in other countries does not get abused and that they stay away from the toxic U.S. American way of life and retain their own identies. This is coming from a born and raised U.S. American.
Our Spanish has gone from absolutely horrible to just good enough to get by. It gets better every day. Practice makes better.....
🤔
I understand they want their privacy by not showing the inside of their house. But then you should change the title of the video. I specifically clicked to SEE a 2 bedroom home in that area for $400/month. What do you get for that $ ? What is the furniture like? 🤷♀️ Nice couple and interesting info, just misleading title on the video, which was disappointing. Thank you.
You got to see the outside of the house and their property and their ocean views.
@@PanamaRelocationTours For me, the inside of where I would be living, sleeping, the bathroom, cooking and eating is the most important part.
@@Lisa-oy9ts It looks like a very nice size house from the outside for $400.00 a moth.
@@papi7672 I've lived in Costa Rica, the size is not what I'm concerned about.
Wow, I love this information. You luckiest Americans. 400 dollars a month, I pay 1000 for a shitty room in New York City I only need 100k to retire over there, I am sure there are apartments cheaper than 400. Hahahahaha. I envy you.
Ah yes, finally a “computer guy” to tell us the internet speed. 8 gigabytes… I think that means 8 megabits per second(?). Just another translation, I suppose.
Also, he might be from Indiana, but she is not. I’ll guess New Yawk.
Great video and info though! 😀
Glad you enjoyed the video!
I reckon he was talking about their data limit 8GB they pay for and forgot to mention the speed;-)
You're right about the speed. I misspoke. It is 8mps. And while I am from Indiana, she IS from New York, a Long Island girl!
instesd of renting it let it be hostel on booking and make it urban!
They love living there.
im concerned because i had a stroke!
Medical care is one of the reasons we chose this area. There are 4 large hospitals and several small ones within 1/2 hour of the house. The closest one is about 15 minutes away. In some parts of Panama a hospital is an hour and a half away.
thats real nice of you for your info,thank you very much,tony d!
Nice place, but you can keep those animals there..... not for everyone.... thanks for sharing.... now your daily walk, and natural diet, should help in losing weight..... ⁉️⁉️
You guys may convince my wife 😜, I lived in Panama back in the early 90's and always knew I'd retire there, now to convince the wife🤣🤣🤡
Once she sees Panama, she will be ready to move to Panama!
