Panama Expat Experience Archives | Panama Relocation Tours

Richard Detrick and Nikki Steele have lived in Boquete Panama 16 years. Watch this video to learn why they decided to retire in Panama. See their beautiful Tuscan style home on a 4 acre coffee farm in Palmira which is about 10 minutes from downtown Boquete. Richard also shares his best and worst experiences in Panama and his biggest fears/frustrations about living in Panama. Be sure to watch to the end of the video when Richard shares his recommendation for anyone considering relocating to Panama. Richard sometimes joins us for dinner during the tour and he has some articles about life in Panama on his blog at www.RichardDetrich.com

Here are some views from Richard and Nikki’s back patio. It’s lush and green all year with daytime temperatures in the mid-70s and evening temperatures in the mid-60s. You never get tired of the weather or these amazing views!

We know you’re wondering what it’s really like to retire in Panama so the Panama Relocation Tours team is shooting videos of some of the people who came on a Tour then relocated to Panama. Our “Panama Expat Experience” video series will give you a glimpse in to expat life in Panama.

Debe and Rod came on a Panama Relocation Tour in April 2016 then moved to Boquete Panama in November 2017. They were able to retire early because of the lower cost of living in Panama. They describe their experience living in Panama, renting then later buying a house. And they offer recommendations for anyone who is considering relocating to Panama. By the way, that had that beautiful dining room table made for $400 by a local craftsman.

In September, we will be doing Panama Expat Experience videos in various beach communities throughout Panama!
