Friends, looking forward to learning as much as possible about Panama. I am married to Colombian lady (44 years). We have lived in New Orleans area the last 40+, and we like to move in the next few years. Panama seems to have more advantages than Colombia. Our son just passed thru Panama, and was very impressed. Don't be bashful about telling me ANYTHING! Here to learn!!!

Hello ccc198

I imagine since your wife is from Colombia you also speak spanish. Living here in pánama going on 26yrs

and able to communicate in spanish has definately helped me a lot as when first got here did not speak

any. Wife is from panama and she helped me a lot .

Bring a lot of patience with you if you want to live here as that is one thing that will keep your cool.

As u said many many benefits for retirees here. Wish you luck in the future and if you have any

questions feel free to ask. Have a great day.

been here 21 years except for 3 years in medellin as i have a ceduala both places but the health insurance in col much cheaper . that being said knowing spanish is more important in col than pan . my spanish is bad but my panamaian wife of 20 years helps me along .. every place i go in pan someone speaks english which seems to be rare in col . love both places but own two homes in pan had to rent in col .
