Hello everyone,

Moving to Panama without your significant other can be quite difficult, especially since your partner is an undeniable source of support. This kind of move may require some adjustments from both parties in order to make it a successful one.

What is challenging about being in a long distance relationship in Panama?

How to maintain an adequate level of communication considering differing schedules and time zones?

How often would you travel to each others location to meet?

How do you manage to still have a social life in Panama?

What hurdles need to be considered if you have left behind children who are under the sole care of your partner?

Thanks for sharing your experience,
Bhavna

FaceTime! Can’t live without it. And messenger family group for texts and photos between times. (I have grandkids) I’m not living apart from my husband though. No thanks. Life is short. I would never consider living apart from minor children either.
