WE have town tours of Volcan, David and the beach are near there, Penonome, Clayton (near Panama City) and Cerro Azul. We'll have more places/town videos coming soon.

@@janisnewman1832 yes

Thank you so much!

Annie - (love the shenanigans! ). Our rent is a little more than $1,000/mo. We pay for our electricity and internet. We did *not* bring beds - it's a bit of misinformation that all beds to be found here are hard - we have a king size bed that came with the house. It was soft enough, but after two years, we bought another one at a local store and had it delivered. It's a Serta and is a pillow-top and relatively soft with underlying support. Painting is an awesome hobby and you can absolutely learn quilting when you get here! Lots of opportunities.

@@SarahZink thanks for the quick reply!! I hope to meet up when I finally make the move!!

She did not bring a bed. They sell mattreses in Panama. Rent is about $1000 rent for her big furnished house.

for me it is a couple of things. First the income requirements. Mexico has a very high requirement, and depending on which consulate you go to, it varies. You have to physically go to the consulate and apply. In Panama, it's straightforward and you do all your 'in person" stuff in Panama. If you don't mind that, then Mexico can be a viable alternative because it's a huge country and there are many many places to choose from compared to Panama. The second thing is security. Mexico has numerous unsafe areas, and it's common knowledge that 'gringos' should not travel at night. Not a thing in Panama. Panama is so safe, it's ridiculous to even contemplate it might be dangerous. The people are consistently friendly there. I went there solo for the PRT 126 tour. I was there one day before alone, as many solo females have done. Never felt unsafe. Also, if you are over 55 female, with the Pensionado Visa, you get so many discounts in Panama. Mexico does not have that. I don't remember what the age is for men, I think it's 60. I have planned on going back next year, when I am 62 and have extensively researched both places. Mexico Relocation Tours can give you so much info on Mexico, she is Jackies daughter in law.

Tim, Thank you for your kind words! I wish you every happiness, and - believe me - several people have moved here in their late 70's and early 80's. It's rarely too late. Big hugs to you, my friend.

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed the interview. It's not too late! You should at least come to Panama for 180 days as a tourist (no visa needed) to experience life in Panama. Others in their 70s and 80s move to or vacation in Panama.

Thanks, but I did not use a filter.

we have several interviews with snowbirds panamarelocationtours.com/snowbirds-in-panama panamarelocationtours.com/good-advice-about-living-in-panama-part-time

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching

So glad!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

Go to Panama Relocation Tours website. they have all the info there. I do believe the minimum is 1k so your SS would be 32 dollars short.

Hi. This is a recorded video of the live presentation. I started seeing invites to the live presentation - and notices of postings of new videos- after I subscribed to the channel. Then, using the link in the email, I joined the presentation live and could ask questions live. Good luck.

I totally agree!

Yes that was off putting to me as well.

I think she said she came from Mancherter. Very urban. I bet she equates tropics with 3rd world. I also bet her perspective and adjectives will change.

Rainy Season is December until April. Dry Season is the rest of the year.

More unusual than, say, men? :) I've been a regenerative organic farmer in rural Nova Scotia, Canada, for the last decade, after having been a psychiatrist/psychotherapist in a big city for most of my career. Farming is not easy especially if one does all singlehandedly but it's doable. Growing big gardens with livestock partners to replenish the pasture and soil are the fun part while structure building and maintaining fence, and of course dealing with east coast Maritime winter aren't for the faint of heart. I aim to do something similar in a more temperate climate in not the too distant future in Panama.
