WHY MOVE TO PEDASI, PANAMA? | RETIRE IN PANAMA? | AZUERO PENINSULA | LOS SANTOS

[@shirleyharrison5746]

Thank you for showing my mother's hometown and where I spent every summer and go there every year for a month. I remember when we had no electricity 24 hours, rainwater was our only source. Then boom!!! I sit at the Bakery having a coffee and hearing languages from all over the world. It's amazing to see how the people made Pedasi in to a beautiful, laidback, super friendly town. You showed Casa de Campo and several rooms, the courtyard and the pool. That's our family home. No longer a B&B though. Planning a trip for November. Thanks again!

[@lisbeth6911]

If I could get to this lovely place, I would go there TODAY! I am retired & would be happy to live in Padesi, Panama🎊 🇵🇦 🫶🏽

[@Rumpole1000]

LOVE LOVE LOVE how you take the time to show the buildings and architecture. Looks like such a pretty little place and I've heard nothing but good things about Pedasi. Buying fresh fish straight off the fishermen for example. Oh my Lord. Sign me up!!!

[@AbroadAbility]

Thank you! For some reason, when I travel, I tend to photograph buildings so I guess it now has transferred to by videos LOL. The people that I have talked to that have loved there, have nothing but great things to say about it.

[@regineb9245]

So happy to see Pedasí after almost 2 years when I was there. You captured the street art, how pretty the little town is, those expansive beaches, all the shops with goodies and handmade art....❤️. And everyone greets everyone. 🙂 It's the kind of small town that you would imagine from a story book. Once upon a time there was a charming little town..... Thanks for all the info you covered!!

[@AbroadAbility]

Yayyy!!!! Wow. I might need to hire you as my writer LOL. I was only there for a short amount of time so I am glad to hear your description of it. Everyone said that it truly is a tight knit community.

[@regineb9245]

Lol! You have been to so many places and you cover so much essential info so I rely on your knowledge a lot. I am sure our paths will cross one of these days and I hope that you do find one or two or three places in Panama that become home. Pedasí is certainly a place you can lose track of time in and start to feel like a local because it's small enough to see the same people over and over again. Even the cops wave to you and wish you a great day. 🙂

[@webrebel77]

Great video! I'm thinking the Azuero might be where I want to be. Really nice. Thanks again.

[@AbroadAbility]

Can’t wait to hear where you end up! There are so many places to choose from. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on the video! 🙏🏽

[@AbroadAbility]

Thanks for watching! I am so glad that you are leaning so much about Panama!

[@gualrichard]

As always, great video my friend. We look so forward to your next videos. Pedasi seems to be like an up and coming place.

[@AbroadAbility]

Hey! Thanks again for always watching. Everyone says that Pedasi is really laid back and has an extremely tight knit community.

[@gualrichard]

@@AbroadAbility now what about that heat? I live in south Florida so I’m Used to it but would like an place like you had mentioned in the video that you do get some breeze. Also, does it get really loud when vacationers are there? Thanks

[@AbroadAbility]

@@gualrichard that is a great question regarding how loud it gets. Unfortunately, I do not know that answer to that but if I hear anything I will let you know. I watched a video on El Valle and they mentioned that they get a flux of visitors on the weekends.

[@gualrichard]

@@AbroadAbility thank you so much. Looking forward

Thank you, Ray! I appreciate you watching and for your comment!

[@jhaallen]

This is one of my favorites. How many more cities do you have left?

[@AbroadAbility]

Wow! I wasn’t sure how this one would come together so that is great to hear! Thank you! I have two more areas to cover from my first exploratory trip.

[@jhaallen]

It came together very well!! Easy to follow, videos aren’t too long and very descriptive.

[@yvettemorris7295]

Thank you for this video! I’m a 53 yr old retiree and I’m so excited about moving, thank you for this information! I needed this!

[@AbroadAbility]

@@yvettemorris7295 that is so exciting! I wish you the best on your retirement and your move! 🇵🇦👍🏽

[@michaelbielan3056]

This is a beautiful area in Panama. Did you have a Tour Guide with you in Pedasi?

[@AbroadAbility]

It really is a beautiful area. I had a private guide that was recommended by Panama Relocation tours. I have an affiliate link for them. panamarelocationtours.com/?ref=39

[@BrendanMetcalfe]

very informational!

[@AbroadAbility]

Thank you, Brendan! I am glad that your found it to be informative. 🇵🇦

[@dugfriendly]

Clever channel name 😀

[@billhennessey6374]

Hi Aisha, how about the wifi? I will be working online after I relocate. Great video as always!

[@AbroadAbility]

Hey, Bill! I do not remember how the wifi was there. I can try and ask around.

[@billhennessey6374]

@@AbroadAbility , that would be great, thanks! The wifi will play a major role in where I land!

[@madisonian50]

WiFi in Venao was great.

was that an abnb? beautiful.

[@divinaflamingarrow9556]

Can a US retiree on Social security live simply , comfortably and $1500.00 usd per month?

[@AbroadAbility]

It's hard for me to answer that without knowing your taste or lifestyle but there are people who do. I would see if you can find current housing market rates for the area you are interested in to get an idea. Encuenta24 is a good reference.

[@franciscoclavi73]

hello everyone i recently retired and plan to move to panama and i really not sure if i can live with my ss amount can some body give me advice since i dont have any clue on how to make this move also i am bilingual that helps and plan to aply for a pensionado visa would appreciate any advice given , thank you so much.

[@AbroadAbility]

Francisco, congrats on your recent retirement. That is a hard question for people to answer. It all depends on your lifestyle, the amount of SS, and where in Panama you choose to live.

[@franciscoclavi73]

@@AbroadAbility thank you for answering, ah ok i will get over the grand so i hope that is enough.

[@buentaste]

@@franciscoclavi73 hi i am also planning to retired in Pedazi Panama in fact i already bought a piece of land. Did you get there already?

[@christinec.2376]

..have to say, i'm getting a little disenchanted, on the rental costs,.. this town would have perfect for me. :(

[@fanfare100]

Bare in mind that rental prices will be lower for pre-existing housing. That $110K house that was mentioned in the video was for a new construction. Existing homes are more reasonable. Also, best way to find is via word of mouth.

[@cyntiaangelie8157]

I agree

[@chelleroberson3222]

93 * is hot 🤣🤣🤣

[@cecilbatts8835]

Edit this video and remove the sling shot scene killing a bird.!!

[@AbroadAbility]

Cecil, thank you for your comment and perspective. I battled whether or not to show that but it is what I saw when in Panama and I want to show everything, not just the good. People should know what to potentially expect so they are not shocked. It was hard for me to watch but, the iguana actually got away.
