REPLAY: Ellen Talks About Her Life in Panama

Unfortunately, this Covid-19 virus has put a stop to international travel and coming on a Panama Relocation Tour so you can see how you can live better for less.

But the Panama Relocation Tours team will be providing weekly conference calls or videos with expats who live in Panama who will give you glimpse of what their life is like living in Panama. These weekly conference calls or videos will give you additional information to add to your research about relocating to Panama.

Listen to the replay of a call with Ellen who came on a Panama Relocation Tour with her family in 2014. They moved from Alabama to Playa Blanco, near Coronado, then relocated to the Boquete area. She and her husband and son have lived in Panama almost 5 years. They have the Friendly Nations Visa and work permits so they can work in Panama. Her son is now 16 and thriving in Panama.

In this call she will talk about:

♦ Why they moved to Panama
♦ Why they moved away from a beautiful beach town
♦ Moving to Panama with 3 pets
♦ Cost of living in Panama
♦ Health care in Panama
♦ How Panama has improved her health substantially
♦ What she misses about the USA
♦ What she does not like about living in Panama
♦ And much more

Check out her views!

NOTE: We do not give out contact information for the people we interview for these “My Life in Panama” conference or video calls because they don’t want to be bombarded with emails. If you have a question about living in Panama, please email [email protected]

NEXT WEEK: We will be doing a video interview with a couple who lives in CHAME, which is a beach town few miles east of Coronado. Stay tuned for more details.
