I am considering moving to Panama after having lived in England, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and currently Los Angeles. I was bothered immensely by Mosquitoes during my two years in Australia no screens on Windows etc. I would like to find out ...
No, we didn't like PC either. I lived in Glendale, CA for many years so I know the type of weather you are looking for. Panama is hot and humid, so is Nicaragua and the rest of Central America because of the equator. You will have to live with ... Read More

It's not so much the mosquito's in that área as it is the coffee bugs. Screens on the windows won't really mean much as they don't sit flush to the window, there is a gap everywhere. I always had to watch to see what was flying into the house. I ... Read More

Meeting people in Panama City by cheekyarentyou
I'm new here and would live to meet other fun, outgoing people. Is there a group that meets here in the city? Food, Drinks, Hiking etc
You can also try a site called InterNations - they have a fairly active expat group in PC that meets monthly (I still get the invites). You might want to give them a try. Be safe and have fun. Read More
Caribbean Coast by Mimcdc
Hello, This is my first post to EXpat-Panama. I have researching Ecuador for over a year as a potential semi-retirement destination. One aspect of my research that I can't get comfortable with is that I can't find any beautiful beaches there that ...

Why we really left Boquete... by AuntieFlo
It's my turn to write about what happened. It is helping me to deal with the anger and the loss. We had such high hopes when we came to Panama. We wanted to live simpler, lower-cost lives. We also hoped to build something here, something that would ...
Thanks Michael. If you want to keep up with our take, and our travels around Scotland, I have been asked to write for a new tourism site that highlights the best of Scotland. Here is the url; http://www.great-scotland.com/ - it should be an ... Read More

We chose Cuernavaca because there are over 40 Spanish language schools here and most of the students come from the US. We have been on many excursions with some of these students through the Cemanahuac School. The guy who runs it is an American ... Read More
