This scam happens in every country we've been too and all are successful. We know people who fell prey to this scam in Argentina. The scamming of others is becoming huge which is really sad because someone who really might need help won't be ... Read More

Mosquitoes in Boquete by reg2832

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 ...

Florence Ricchiazzi Lince

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

Florence Ricchiazzi Lince

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

Florence Ricchiazzi Lince

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 ...

They have been talking about direct flights from the US to David since 2008. First it was TACA airlines, then Aeroperlas (which is now gone) and of course Air Panama (whose planes come from COPA). Yesterday the head of Panama's tourism and the ... Read More

Florence Ricchiazzi Lince

Does it have to be a cab driver? If a shuttle driver will do - since they are the same cost - contact jose@goldenfrog.net. Speaks English, has his own vans and will drive you all the way to Boquete or even Bocas if pre-arranged. He owns a home in ... Read More

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 ...

Floridian Expats by Sarasotan

Are there any expats out there originally from Florida? My husband and I are currently living in Sarasota, Florida and have just recently retired. We are thinking of relocating to Panama. We do not speak Spanish and don't have the faintest idea on ...

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

Living in Panama on a decent pension by El Cid

All Contributors Enjoy the way many local and expats help new arrivals with advice and assistance. My wife and I currently live in Los Angeles, CA (no kids) and expect to retire in a few years with a couple of pensions allowing for 5k (maybe more) ...

Florence Ricchiazzi Lince

Actually the answer is how do you want to live? Car or no car? Near PC or not? Sea or mountains? Gated or with locals. If you tell us your passions then we can assist you better. What and how do you want to live (and you will live incredibly well ... Read More
