Thank you so much. I returned from Panama this April and I'm trying to downsize to get out of here. I was there for a month and as a black woman I don't recall ever feeling so comfortable. I have to agree with the comment about going outside. I found myself sitting outdoors for hours while there. My husband and I are looking forwards to moving there hopefully by Sept.

[@michaellittle8756]

I’m glad you found a place where you feel comfortable in your own skin. ALL Americans who relocate to Panama, please leave prejudice in the USA and embrace acceptance and inclusion in your new home.

Thanks for viewing, we love the people and the culture here. The people are as warm as the weather and you can feel the love.

[@violaknox5076]

Not being judged by the color of your skin or race sounds SOOO refreshing

[@glennandsheribrooksjr]

Oh it is 🤎🤎🤎

[@holgermessner851]

Hahaha. Just wait a moment. I live in Panama for 5 years now. I am originally from Germany. You have “white” Panamanians who don’t like “darker” Panamanians. Example number 2: I live in Nueva Gorgona. In my street, at the beginning do live the “white” Panamanian neighbors. In the middle the more “darker” neighbors. In the end - you get it - living the black neighbors. So when I looked for a place to rent, I compared what I get for the money. So we agreed to rent the house in Nueva Gorgona. I had to put in some elbow grease to fix and paint. But I only pay $350 for a 2 bedroom house. The 1st 12 months was only $250 a month. The owner didn’t had money to fix the house. So I paid for it and the owner reduced the rent by $100 a month to pay me back. So anyway. Couple months later, I am sitting together with my neighbors around my house. After a couple beers, one of my neighbors asked: Aren’t you are not too “white” for this area? 😂 - This video is a couple months old. And the BROOKS are newcomers. You hear that even with the driving. Panamanians do NOT drive defensively. They drive aggressively! Stopping on a crosswalk? If you walk, you better watch out! They do NOT STOP free will. On the other hand, they really really slow down before they turn off a street. I’m driving since I arrived 5 years ago. - After 14 years going in Canada through winters with minus 30 to lower than minus 41 degrees Celsius, I really like to sweat! Believe me! I do not have an air conditioning in my house. A fan is just fine. Panamanians ask me sometimes: Are you not sweating? I just answer: No señior. I am dripping! 😂

[@user-vz3fh6oj7d]

First off: do you speak, understand, read Spanish fluently? Do you understand the culture? Five years is not enough to fully understand the culture. Second: there is no outcasting in Panama because of your skin tone. In fact, most Panamanians are of a darker complexion with a minority being lighter (foreigners like Venezuelans/Colombians don't count). LThe main problem is classism. There are plenty of rich people who are darker complected; the mestizos. Whatever skin tone outcasting (can't use the actual wording due to YT's censuring), exists, it is not as egregious as it is in the U.S. Facts!

[@holgermessner851]

@@user-vz3fh6oj7d You don’t live in a “normal street “ outside of Panama City. I do. And yes. All streets outside of Panama are like the streets I live in. If you don’t live in a gated community. Playa Uverito the same. David the same. I do not have to speak Spanish fluently to see how people live. Nobody has. And you know perfectly well that the darker community in Panama lives in very poor conditions. You don’t agree? Then you know nothing about Panama. Listen. I don’t write anything I didn’t experienced in Panama. There are many singles in Panama. I did speak with “white” Panamanian women. And if you are not interested in a relationship because you don’t know if you stay, you are thinking about guys who are looking for a relationship. So I showed pictures of my buddies who were “available “. BLACK?! No way. I DON’T MIX! - Yes. I had Panamanian female friends who did sit beside me and tried to explain that not all women were like her. But it exists. And in 5 years, I did hear that many times. So please. Don’t tell Westerners that racism doesn’t exist in Panama. If you are Panamanian - you don’t know your own country!

[@MrCRobATL]

​@@user-vz3fh6oj7d Not being judged by the color of your skin or race is PRECISELY why my wife and I are considering joining Glen & Cheri as expats in Panama. America is SOOO toxic when it comes to anti-Black racism. And, we no longer want ZERO parts of it.

[@laineywestbrooks1701]

I was in Panama in 2022 for 11 days and sightseeing and just was so amazed that I came back on a tour the following year in 2023 through a tour assistant organization. Visited a different Townsend cities to get a feel for where I would like to land, preferably as a snowbird, I think for starters and ultimately moving to Panama. Everything Glenn and Sherrie just showed you and said it’s absolutely the God-given truth about the country the food, the people, the quality of life, and your spirit being released to freedom to be yourself. so if you haven’t visited, you need to put that on your bucket list. There’s a black expert organization there and blacks are coming and gross to make Panama their home. I’m on my way. I have the legal advice that I need the real estate advice that I need which was all part of the package I just need to put things into motion now For this coming winter months. Lainey

The don't stop thing reminds me of when I was driving in Cancun, Mexico. I stopped at a STOP sign and almost got rear-ended! The guy behind me assumed I'd not stop. The thing about no addresses explains why I could not get a complete address for my upcoming hotel! It kept popping up as vague coordinates or intersections. I'm laughing so hard about the nonstop partying. LOL

I really enjoyed your presentation of Panama. My husband did a tour there many years ago. He is a disabled vet. I would love to know more about benefits for veterans. Not feeling the humidity 😂.

[@glennandsheribrooksjr]

@@TheCeeCeeH really appreciate the kind words. You’re just in time because on our next episode of Behind Closed Doors w/ the Brooks’ that airs this Thursday (12n EST) we talk about our experiences as veterans and health benefits. Oh by the way, this humidity is definitely not a game 🥲🤣😂🤣 #WeAllNeedSomeHelp

@glennandsheribrooksjr gonna hit that notification bell so I won't miss it. Btw what are the guidelines for dogs?

[@glennandsheribrooksjr]

@@TheCeeCeeH we don’t have dogs so to be honest I don’t know what the guidelines are but what I will say is Panama is super pet friendly. Do your research and make it happen it’s definitely worth it.

Eggs don't have to be refrigerated when they still have their bloom. Amazing! (We have chickens and are hatching out turkeys)

I appreciate this content. Very informative. I understand time constraints in tecording, I do suggest that Mr. Brooks not speak over Mrs. Brooks while she is sharing, I was shouting hush now in 😂. Peace and Blessings

Sounds good but I have an issue with the driving, how can you be safe if theres no order being followed 😊

[@VeleciaPierce]

Good morning, I’ve been in Panama and looking for a place to worship/connect

[@glennandsheribrooksjr]

@@VeleciaPierce great morning! Bienvenidos 🙋🏾‍♂️ we’ve lived here going on 18 months now and have not found a place to connect in order to worship. It’s more of a cultural disconnect more than anything. As a result we decided to be obedient to the Lord (after months of the Holy Spirits urging) to start an online fellowship/ community!
