Panama is at the top of my list for relocation. There are plenty of military veterans in Panama plus organizations that will assist you as far as healthcare and benefits.

[@estellelumpkin1049]

Yes! We blended in very well in Panama! I loved it!

[@theeternaloptimists365]

I moved to Boquete, Panama (in the cooler mountains) two years ago. I had a fairly easy transition because of the relocation tour that I took and it's expat community that helped me tremendously. I jokingly, well mostly, tell my USA relatives that I'm white in Panama. Meaning, I feel free here, unlike the USA.

Belize is where I want to be. I need to be close enough to get back to my mom quickly since she doesn't want to come with me. And besides it's absolutely beautiful.

Thank you for the thoughtful content. I started following you a few years ago just as my wife and I started searching for a place abroad. We’ve since purchased a part-time place in Merida. We plan to renovate it over the next few years. We’re happy for this new chapter!

[@gladazur6042]

As a Black Canadian woman, my three favorite countries are in Asia. I traveled in Thailand, Vietnam and l love it. I want to relocate to Thailand, and the only reason l haven't moved yet is because of the language barrier. I felt safe, welcomed, and respected in Thailand. I tried to learn the language, but l find Thai is a very challenging language to learn. My first language is French, l used to speak Italian when l was younger.

I took my first solo trip to Panama City, Panama in April of this year. I had a great time, and locals were very friendly and helpful.

[@blairinbelgradeTV]

@ntiriwa Serbia is a wonderful place for Black people. Historically, Serbia (and Yugoslavia), welcomed African students to study as far back as the 1950s! And the Yugoslavia government had its Non-Alliance movement (equivalent to NATO), so Black people have been coming to Serbia for generations. I have lived in Serbua for 2.5 years, and met many Africans, Black Americans, Europeans, who live, work, study, or like me have their own business.

[@darlagts]

I am Panamanian and I can assure you that is not that they are not willing to speak English, is that most of the population in Panama do not speak it. Public schools teach an English so basic that it is of no use to have a simple conversation.

[@estellelumpkin1049]

@ I see. We spoke with a guy from Guatemala 🇬🇹 who’d been there for 11 years and he did say something like that. His stance was that based on the history between Panama and America there was a sort of grudge that Panama has which leads to minimal importance in learning/teaching English. According to him more people speak it than are willing to use it but to your point maybe it’s because they don’t know “enough” to bother with trying. Either way, the people were pleasant, friendly, and welcoming. I love it there!

[@darlagts]

@@ArticuladaG Towns like Boquete (Chiriquí province), around 6-7 hours from Panama City and 45 minutes from the city of David or el Valle de Antón (Coclé province) half hour form the city or Penonomé and 2 hours from Panama City, would be the most developed for foreigners used to certain comforts.

[@DanielleSamoneJohnson77]

​​@@underconstruction4413My son moved to South Korea a few years ago. The move was similar to what I've seen other expats report. Many Asian nations have various visas, but are generally averse to issuing permanent residence. Having to leave the country and possibly reenter on a renewed visa is not ideal either. SK's requirements were insane! He had to return all the way to his point of origin to renew his visa (not a teacher's visa). I had to house him for 4 months on one of his visa renewals. Eventually he and his girlfriend married and all the extremely expensive requirements shifted. I have found Thailand and Vietnam to be the most accessible, but still requiring much for long term stay. General rule of thumb: if a nation is predominantly homogenous, it may be due to its immigrant policies or visa requirements. If I wanted to be on that side of the planet (and I do eventually), I am seriously considering Mauritius. It's an African nation but its proximity to South Africa, India, and China, means the population are incredibly diverse. It has many wonderful facets that interest me as retiree. As for my business considerations, though, it's not my first choice.

I lived in Rio for 10 years and in the most hippiest artsy of parts...Santa Teresa...you will still encounter racism! You can escape racism in Brazil by speaking English. I would get followed in the mall and when I would pretend to not speak Portuguese and say I was from Brooklyn...instant VIP treatment. It is a pro and a con...the racism exist but unlike in the US, you can work around it by speaking English. As brown skinned woman...I would avoid the beach in Copacabana all together...Ipanema or Leme are better to not get mistaken for "working" the beach by tourist looking for a little fun. Other than that I loved living in Rio and miss it.

Barra Da Tijuca, RJ Brazil was and easy landing for us. Rio Da Janeiro has great infrastructure, the best beach, total city living. Language is a barrier, but we have apps that takes care of that. RJ has 2 airports. Brazillians are terrific, kind. As a Black person, I fit in very well. After living in RJ for over a year, we moved north to Vitoria, Espírito Santo Brasil. It's like a mini Rio, geographically with beaches and great infrastructure, but much quieter and much less people. It has an airport too. Getting Residency is more difficult, but once you get it, life is great. Tourist visa is 90 days that can easily be extended for another 90days in 1 calendar year. You must leave the country after 180days on a Tourist visa and cannot return for 1year after your initial entry. Weather is always warm in northern brasil, from Rio and north. Weather can get cold from SaoPaulo and south. Brasil is earthquake free, hurricane free, no volcanoes and tornados are very, very rare. Floods can happen in the higher elevations. I left living in Mexico to move to Brasil and will never leave Brasil.💚🇧🇷

This is so helpful. Thanks Roberta. I never really considered Brazil but this info is good.

OMG! I am earnestly looking at relocating to Brazil. Because of climate change and my intolerance to high temps, I'm leaning more toward South Brazil near Florianópolis. I subscribed to your channel too to find you. I know you don't have any videos. I'd love to know more about your experiences there. I've been studying Portuguese in earnest for the last year. I'm hoping to move in 2025. I think it's a great location for artists and business owners. There's still a lot of room for economic growth there and with BRICS. I hope you and your household have a fantastic outcome in your new place!

I’m wondering why go to Latin America when they are trying their best to get here?

[@mildred3378]

I think visiting Latin America is different than living there.

[@funnyclipsplac]

so they can go back

[@colestony]

@@mildred3378 the article is about living there. Mildred do you want to be my gf , because she did that all the time and I miss her😂

[@bernadettedevereaux8694]

Because our US Dollars make our lives easier. One cannot live in Manhattan for $2000 a month but you can have similar amenities in Latin America and the Caribbean for that amount.

[@bernadettedevereaux8694]

Speaking Spanish is a big advantage when you want to visit or live outside of major tourist areas. You don’t have to be fluent or know how to conjugate verbs in all the tenses of Spanish. You need to be more polite than most Americans are used to. You must greet everyone first unless you are in a crowded marketplace frequented by locals. People do not queue up in orderly lines. Not respecting one’s position in line drives Americans insane! You just mash your way forward. As soon as the locals hear your accent the prices will go up. Ask a local at your hotel or residence in advance what things such cost such as bus or taxi fares. Haggling is expected.
