Expat Interviews

Interesting people from all over the world relocate to Panama.   Some move for the great weather, or new adventures and to reduce their costs of living.  To help you learn more about living in Panama, we interview people living in various areas in Panama.  Here are some video and audio interviews with expats who call Panama home:
