Huge creds to both of you! Thanks for sharing your story. Can't imagine living in out of a car and random AirBNB's for several months with two dogs (as sweet as they both look). You earn huge respect for figuring out how to make this happen. Years ago, when I was a kid between high school and college, I worked for a local farmer as a farm hand. When things went completely sideways, he used to say, "You know, just do what needs to be done." You lived out Dick's maxim. So glad that you finally made it to Panama and into retirement! Blessings on you both! John

Thank you Chuck and Debbi for sharing!! Alto Boquete is one of my favorite areas as I was doing my research. Also, back in August of this year, I went on an individual tour with Maury from Jackie's relocation guide. Maury was fantastic and showed me how big of an area Alto Boquete is. I fell in love all over again with Alto Boquete. Thanks again for your valuable input.

I live between Colorado, USA and Boquete -- My observations -- Most Gringos relocating to Boquete will be gone in 3 years ; UNLESS-- you learn, at least, basic Spanish, integrate into community ( do not just stay within expat community) and do some community service ( such as aiding in schools). Cost of living in Panama is generally 50% of living in Colorado USA ; so if you are just only looking for low cost of living, Thailand & Vietnam is 75% less than in USA. Wherever you go, do something with your retirement time, to benefit the locals.

Interested to see this neighbourhood is within walking distance of downtown Boquete. After living in rural Alberta, Canada, one of my biggest wishes is to be car free...lol Definitely need to look at the health insurance angle- coming from Canada, I'm used to not paying anything at all, but I imagine that difference is easily made up for by other savings.

Cancer insurance is $63 a YEAR but it's only available for those who have never had cancer. They have private health insurance through Family Medical Plan. For a 60-69 year old, the cost is $102 per month. You can see their brochure at panamarelocationtours.com/health-insurance-options-in-panama
