Hi, Mary. I am from Chicago. It is 0 degrees. I listened to the replay. Your voice reminds me of a therapist. The reviews of your 15 reasons why you relocated to Panama City were very insightful. It helped me list my weekly activities in Chicago. How will these activities be conducted in Boquete or any other country.
You are so thorough, thank you for that. I am going on a cruise and stopping in Panama. I know it won't be the same as a normal visit there; however, I am still very excited. I think I may retire after my cruise 😊 I missed the live, didn't get the notification. Hopefully next time.
This is such helpful information! I really appreciate you so much for sharing. I’m seriously considering relocating with my 71 year old mother and wanted to hear about healthcare. I’m so grateful you shared these details!
Replay from cold snowy Ohio 😢 but dreaming of warm weather, water views, and a soft life. Thank you for this very informative video! Looking forward to more. 😊
Replay from sunny (but not very warm at the moment) St. Pete, FL. I went to a wedding in Panama some years ago and Panama has been in my heart since. Thank you for EVERYTHING you do. I'm having dinner with you in Cape Town, can't wait to meet you IRL! lol
You are so welcome, what is your name, make sure you come up and introduce yourself at the welcome dinner too!! I am looking forward to meeting everyone!
I watched the replay on 9/2/24. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience with us. I don't have the age yet to get the pensionado visa, but I am definitely looking for a change. Do you know anyone who has come to Panama to work?

I agree with your assessment of beach living. It is isolated and not many restaurants or entertainment or transportation options.
