Adventurefreaksss highly recommends Panama as an ideal destination for living or retiring, thanks to its extraordinary diversity of stunning beaches, islands, mountainous landscapes, and lush jungles. In this video, we delve into two exceptional places in Panama that we highly recommend for both living and retiring. Additionally, we provide detailed insights into the affordability of rentals in these areas.
The climate in Panama City would force many of us to confine ourselves to air conditioning a lot of the time, which isn't any better than confining oneself because of cold in other places. Then there is the weakening economy because of the canal drought. High heat and humidity is probably not just a problem for older people.....(!!)
But in Boquete it is 70 degrees year around!
@@adventurefreaksss 😮 wOw ❤
Cold is a whole lot harder on my arthritis than heat and humidity! Air conditioning doesn’t have the same effect as cold weather. At least, that has been my experience since being diagnosed 37 years ago.
@@laurastaley7627 It's probably not just an issue of arthritis. One expat in East Asia said that in the summer he has to change clothes several times a day.....
@@adventurefreaksss Sure, but it's probably facing congestion, insufficient infrastructure, and lack of walkability. Alas..... another such example is the lake Chapala area in Mexico
thank you - planning on retiring abroad by 2026- Panama is on my list - planning to do some discovery trips soon - thank you for this great video!
What other areas are you exploring?
@adventurefreaksss Costa Rica, Belize and Ecuador
@@Thealignmentkeys I just did a second podcast with an expat living in Belize. I'll post in about a month. It's very informative and she has a blog about Belize. You can find Megan's blog here: realliferecess.com/author/megan/ Also Ecuador is a terrific choice. What area of Ecuador are you thinking?
@adventurefreaksss Thank you. Looking forward to it.
Ré, can you start making Pros and Cons videos ? I think your style is excellent for that type of video. Especially since alot of folks are facing confusion and having second thoughts about various countries due to factors of climate, crime, cartels, healthcare, droughts, visas, etc. Plus there is the very real problem of opposition about gentrification and takeover by foreigners. It's happening in Costa Rica and is going to grow.
That's not a bad idea! What type of Pros and Con video would you like to see? What countries?
@@adventurefreaksss I am sure you will do a good job on any. How about the three most popular: México, Panama and Costa Rica?
@@dovygoodguy1296 okay i have a few planned in the next coming weeks with the podcasts as well. Once it settles down ill give one of these a try. I like the pros con concept! Thanks buddy!!
@@adventurefreaksss I'm glad to help. Your videos are always substantive. Here's another thought, maybe you could have a roundtable of more than one expat in a discussion, and a group of several expats from different countries discussing issues as they look from their different locations.
@@adventurefreaksss Maybe take the issues you usually cover like cost of living, food, healthcare, what people can do (lifestyle), throw in other big topics that come up in your comments, like weather and transportation, and assign what you know to pros and cons. It might be good to do it on cities rather than countries since cost of living varies in a country along with availability of housing, healthcare, and other factors.
Panama City is good for a week visit, but it's a typical hot, humid, noisy, congested, and dirty city. There is no beach. $600 in Panama City will not get you a nice place. Boquette is nice weather wise, but it's rather boring, or maybe even extremely boring. Pay attention that at 5:50 he said a day trip to the beach is 4 (FOUR) hours round trip. That may be ok on a big bus, but in a car, truck, or van it's not woth the pain after a certain age.
Thank you for viewing and this addition!
I've never been there, but I have come to the same conclusion from watching videos. Maybe it's my age in my 60s. I just wouldn't be able to handle congestion, noise, heat or humidity, whether in Central America, Malaysia, Vietnam or Dubai. Not to mention living close to war zones like Europe or parts of Asia, or near drug cartels. It would be like going from the frying pan of the Woke culture of North America to the fires of other countries with the other problems.
