Thank you so very much.

Hello.

Panama is the house of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and is also the base of several environmental NGOs of the region like UNDP, Wetlands, and others.

David, Volcán, Boquete are good options for expats. Boquete is the one with bilingual businesses and a big expat community.

If you want to move closer to the beach, I'd recommend Isla Colón in the Atlantic or Pedasí in the Pacific. Both are suitable for expats and you'll adapt quickly as well.

The onyl recommendation I can give you, is that if you are coming to see how good it is, you should move around the country via charter flight instead of land.  Last October you might have seen the protests in the country against mining and the common protest manifestation is the blockade of a road.  So it's better to move around by air.
