    I think your videos are fantastic. It takes an lot of drive to stay in any foreign country for an extended period. The fact that you have moved and done these great videos and not let your disability hold you back gives me a great admiration for you

I want to show all that I see and experience in Panama when possible even if it is uncomfortable like you said. The other RUclipsrs have helped me in my journey and I hope to meet more and do some collaborations in the future. Thanks for all of your support!

    I've been convinced to move to Panama for my retirement. I'm a Belgian National and I've checked the pension cab be paid into a Panamean account, which I'll open it during my visit early November, the critical reason is tax. Indeed if I remain in Belgium my pension will be taxed, the difference will be more than 700 dollars in my pocket. This is enough for me to run away from my cold country . Hugue from Brussels

    Hello! I use a wheelchair full-time and I am trying to find which neighborhoods in Panama City have the best sidewalks. Other than Costa Del Este. I know that one is great but very expensive. Do you have a recommendation of a particular building where I could rent a one bedroom apartment and be able to roll out the door to shops and grocery stores a block or two away? It doesn’t have to be everything accessible, but it would be nice to be connected to another block or two of choices. I really appreciate your input. And I love your videos!

    • @AbroadAbility
      @AbroadAbility  2 года назад

      Hi, Lily! Thanks for your comment about my videos! I haven’t actually encountered any of the top of my head. Costa del Este would have been my first guess. Have you worked with a realtor here yet? Much to my dismay, I actually am not that familiar with the City yet to give you that kind of advice. What I have had to traverse varies from block to block but I have not paid attention to that in relation to stores.

    I am from a Jamaican background, but have relatives in Panama due to a close relative moving there to work on the canal and eventually settling and marrying a Panamanian. His descendants are all bilingual, speaking both Spanish and English. Now, with expats moving in from Anglophonic countries, with an already large Anglo speaking Caribbean community in existence, is it really going to be necessary to learn Spanish to live there in the future?

      @@AbroadAbility Yes, I watched the video. She’s like most Americans- brainwashed into stripping brown skin people of their nationality and labeling them “black”. If you’re born in Panama, you’re Panamanian - regardless of ethnicity or skin tone. If your sibling is darker than you - the sibling is labeled “black Panamanian”, but, the lighter sibling is considered Panamanian? Time to think about our words. Meanwhile, your videos are perfect and I enjoy them immensely! You are such an inspiration. I received my Mexican residency in June but, was really torn between Mx & Panama. I’m thinking real hard about Panama, again - thanks to you!
