Hello everyone,

How is raising kids in Panama different from raising kids in your home country?

What are the activities that your kids seem to enjoy the most in Panama?

Do you feel that the country is "family-friendly"?

Do you recommend Panama as a good place to raise kids? Why or why not?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hi Priscilla
I have 2 kids 12 and 15 and love life in Panama as do they.  We Love being outdoors kayaking, fishing, boating, beach, surfing SUP and even camping so it’s the perfect country for us.  Our kids love their school as well.  They go to Knightsbridge international school.
I love how our kids are way more innocent than so many kids their age in other countries
It’s safe
Expat friends and travel means that they are also exposed to so much of life.
Would not change as we love it.
