Thank you for sharing your experience. I really like that place where this was filmed. As a single I don't want to be isolated in a house on my own, but I also wouldn't like an apartment where I'm elbow to elbow with everyone else. This looks ideal--separate little houses within a spacious compound.

Their little community is 6 houses with a gated entry. Each person has a gate opener. It's also ideal to have neighbors but not too close. Currently, there is a 1 bedroom available in this neighborhood for $475. It's fully furnished, includes a washer and dryer, all pots, pans,dishes, sheets towels, etc and all utilities includes too. You really can live better for less in Panama!

I also appreciate how your time there has improved your health so much. I'm so excited about taking the tour on March 6th and staying 3 more weeks in Boquete. I hope we can meet then!

All in all, I thought this video was very helpful. Enjoyed the comments about the clothes sizes. I haven't heard a woman refer to herself as fluffy in a while! In Argentina, women are so thin, it's impossible to find larger sizes for them in stores. It's like the entire country is anorexic. Also useful was the comment that you can get by without a car if you need to.

Lol. I just had the fingerprinting experience 2 weeks ago in the states as I will be working at the VA now. The lady was getting frustrated with me and told me I was failing this portion of the new hire process miserably like I was doing it wrong. She finally gloved up and rolled a couple of my fingers herself and had just as much trouble. I felt vindicated😆 I’ll try to remember the lotion tip for next time! Can’t wait to visit Panama toward the end of the year.

In all of these vids on Boquete not one person mentions water quality. Google around. The info is available and the verdict is mixed. The water is from mountain springs and most people say they have had no problem. But some say they would not drink the local water from the tap and they don't trust the water in local restaurants.

It is customary in Latin American countries to have bars on your windows. Some houses have them, some don't. Panamanians have told me it is so you can have your windows open all day and night or even when you are away from home but never worry about someone coming in. There is almost NO CRIME in the town where Les and Janet live perhaps because of this proactive approach
@timkug37834 жыл бұрын
In Central America, bars don't have the same negative connotation that they do in the U.S. In the U.S., when you see a house with cameras, you think they are rich. The same is true in poorer countries for bars.

Hi Carl, In South America ( I am a Canadian living in Colombia since 2017) they use fingerprinting for many different things, such as a gym membership, country visa etc. Crime is something you need to concern yourself with, but taking the necessary precautions with help along that way. It really boils down to attitude. If you are looking for problems you'll find them, no matter where you are on the planet. By having a positive open mind you'll overcome most challenges that you could encounter Good luck and I hope this helps.

Besides my wife keeping dual passports and her Cedula card current, there are no fingerprints for anything there that we are aware of. I don't think I will be moving there, or to Panama, after thinking about it. Although it would be nice not to mow the lawn or rake leaves or shovel snow anymore, I can't just pack my whole life into one suitcase and move like I'm on a vacation. Its not for me.
