Expats in Panama Living the Dream in Pedasi

Sue and Bob moved from Michigan to Pedasi in 2018. Originally they lived in Pedasi part-time. After a few years, they fell in love with the easy, laid-back lifestyle and affordable prices so now they live in n Pedasi full-timer. They are renting an amazing furnished two-bedroom house on a large property with a pool for $650.00 a month which includes water, garbage pickup, Internet and a gardener.
Pedasi is in the southern Los Santos Province in the Azuero Peninsula. It's a small town with a population of about 2400 people. Pedasi is about 30 minutes south of Las Tablas which has many grocery stores, shopping, and a hospital.
The Azuero Peninsula is known for getting much less rain than the rest of Panama.

I took my country for granted and now I want to back so badly... I use to live in the city but now that I am a bit older and I appreciate the nature more, I would be so happy to live in the country side... Seriously thinking to buy a holidays house in that area.

[@anncazares111]

Yes, I imagine you must. Is your home country. Buy a place and I’ll rent from you. I’m moving from the US (Seattle. in a few months after Jackie’s relocation tour. It can be challenging for some ppl like me to buy there.

[@joann5157]

I'm always amazed during these interviews when the folks talk about all the activities they have available. I'm retired and live in a regular neighborhood. It is difficult to meet people my age.

[@stevemlejnek7073]

I very much like when a video begins with the location shown on a map of Panama!

[@tammiepulley7167]

I really like Sue and Bob. Thanks for sharing their story.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Glad you enjoyed their video.

I love to see people Talking GOOD of Panama.. Greats people...God bless you🙏❤

[@dianneberest6419]

Lovely video and useful information. Thanks!

[@amazing-osky2052]

What a nice couple, especially for leaving the cold winter of Michigan behind and moving to this beautiful place.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Yes they are!

[@joshanderson7358]

Beautiful place. Beautiful people.

[@carolprentice2944]

This is the coolest video, guys--thanks for making it! We are a young homeschooling family of 10 that used to live 30 min. south of Panama City (for 5 years!) with 5 little ones, then moved back to South Carolina b/c of job situation. We have a business going great here in States but are thinking of moving back to a beachy area--at least part of the year, cause we HATE winters and miss the tropics!! You have convinced us to check out Pedasi with it's nice location and tight-knit community. Hope we get to meet you all, too, as we are an "artsy" family (I taught sewing and do calligraphy, an also a beekeeper and organic grower). Keep those videos coming, as many people in the U.S. are pondering moving but are kinda spooked about the process and fear the "unknown"! Thanks again for sharing!!

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Hey Carol, you should come check out Panama again. If you don't already have a residency Visa, check this out panamarelocationtours.com/guide

[@geraldbutler7124]

That right there is the life happy I'm looking for. So happy for you both.

[@SoyViajeroMundial]

Beautiful! This looks and sounds like a dream. Congratulations to you, Sue and Bob. And to you, Jackie and PRT, for helping another couple of expats to find their little slice of happiness. I hope to do the same soon.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Thank you so much!

Enjoyed viewing this video. Want ti consider moving to Panama. To retire.

[@edithst-hilaire3824]

Thank you for these wonderful videos of towns in Azuero Peninsula! This one of Pedasí is so relaxing. I enjoyed Phil’s in Uverito and Carol’s video in Guararé too.

HI Sue & Bob. We are coming to Pedasi on Friday from Boquete and would love to meet you

[@inkpigflower]

Such a lovely video! My wife and I lived in the US Virgin Islands for three years, returned back to the US for a work change, and are thinking of visiting Panama to see if that is to be our retirement destination. We love the proximity to the ocean, the laid back attitudes, and the affordability. On that note, could Sue and Bob give us a general idea what the living expense is for a home similar to theirs? Many thanks.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

They pay $650 a month for furnished 2 bedroom 2 bath house..has a pool.

Hello, thank you for your video. You have such a lovely place. I am a surfer, wondering how the Internet is there. I would be doing some online gig work if moving there, I'm planning on going down for a Month after Covid is handled and I nail down the best season for what I want to enjoy. Scoping for my upcoming retirement from CalI. Thanks again.

Hi, Cesar! She forgot to tell you that she has lots of cool videos on her KZbin channel ! Search for "Panama Relocation Tours" if you haven't seen it already. Also there are other expats that have some beautiful videos of their stays in Panama so just type whatever comes to mind in the KZbin search box after you have finished looking at this channel.

lovely place,i would love it to stay in pedasi for a couple of moths,very much appreciated your video,would be the perfect place for me, i am having ends meet in CANADA.

[@LogCap4Jobs]

Currently, I am living in a gated, nice 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment in Costa Rica with Wi-Fi, cable tv, airconditioner, second story balcony overlooking the city of San Isidro de El General, located in a very nice, safe neighborhood, convenient to everything, easy to walk everywhere, public transportation, Walmart, Uber, DiDi, 1 hour from the central Pacific coast, and I’m paying $217 a month plus electric which runs about $15-$20. If I could find a similar deal in Panama, I would consider moving to Panama for the fact that everything is so much cheaper there such as commodities, food, clothing, gas, etc. I’ve looked on AirBnB, but have found nothing that compares to what I’m paying in rent here.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

You can find a similar deal in Panama in the Azuero Peninsula! A friend is renting a 1 bedroom furnished for $87.50 a month near Las Tablas. or get a 1 bedroom house across the street from the ocean for $300

I would love to follow your blog if you are willing to share. I am a quilter and my husband wood carves. So would love to check it out.

The town looks so much bigger than a town of 1500. Or is Limon 1500 while Pedaste is much larger in population? Very much appreciated the drone footage.

[@indemicus7640]

Pedasi is around 10k population with around 500 full-time ex-pats

Are there hospitals close by?

There is a clinic in Pedasi and a hospital in Las Tablas
