Hello everyone,

What were the biggest hurdles you faced when moving to Panama? Were there any services available that helped?

Which services helped you most upon your arrival in Panama? Were there any that helped you adapt and integrate in your new home?

Are there any services that you wished were available when you moved to Panama?

Did you find the price of the different services available reasonable? Were there any that were overpriced, to your mind?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Priscilla

Luis Arce 6536 1179 luistaxi777@gmail.com in Panama City - airport rides, help get your drivers license, cedula, drive your dogs across the country, seems like there isn't much Luis can't do.

Eduardo Horna 6752 3207 riochiriqui@gmail.com He works in Chiriqui, will find you a house, do translation, tours, rides, assistance with a multitude of things.

http://www.yairatutoria.com/ to learn the language. Classes on skype, so you can start now from wherever you are.

My biggest challenges were finding my way around, adapting to some things being done different, and generally the challenges you find in moving to any new location. But, to make it even more interesting it's all in another language! People were super nice though and went out of their way to help me.
