HEALTH INSURANCE ?? We've received a lot of questions about getting health insurance if you are over 70. There IS insurance available in Panama with no age restrictions. But International Health insurance is not available.. If you travel to the United States a lot, you may want to keep Medicare. You can also buy travelers insurance when you travel instead of getting international health insurance.
IS U.S Retired military Tricare accepted there.To get the retire visa does health Insurance have to be certified and to meet coverages..if so Tricare refuse to issue coverages for outpatient and inpatient.
And you will continue to get these questions about health insurance in Panama. That’s why everyone wants to get out of USA because of health costs. If they can’t get healthcare in Panama, it’s not on my list for retirement I can assure you. What happens to this ex pat if she should need a triple by pass surgery? Is she going to pay out of pocket? These are knee jerk reactions that make folks move down there without a plan. These are great videos only if you like to ignore your looming medical costs.
If you are an African American when you travel out of the United States you will realise that you have been living under a thick dark cloud. Try it. Thank me later.
I absolutely love how you're over 70 and moved out of your comfort zone alone and started a new chapter in your life! Bless you! Also, thanks for all the detailed info!
Romance dies fast. I went to Panama and after a few months, everything got boring. Food is more expensive than in Canada, and there are zones you should not walk at night, even for a guy.
I was born and raised in this beautiful paradise, I moved to the US 10 years ago. I am a dual citizen and I love both countries with all my heart but the U.S has become a nightmare. My soul is asking me to move back to that peaceful and lovely place! ❤
I'm so glad you mention about being looked at as just being a person. That's all I want to be looked at as being. I'm so tired of racism and crazy racist people.
@JoeEspo17- Your tiredness is noted. Wow, such luxury to imagine that your tiredness is of importance enough to actually share with others. Imagine living it. Better yet, try to imagine living in another person's shoes.
I was walking in the street. Panama has one of those crazy weathers where suddenly the sky opens and half of the Pacific Ocean pours down. I was rapidly walking to find a coffee shop to get into. A guy in his car called me and when I looked he had his umbrella in his hand offering it to me. I couldn't accept but can't forget that kindness towards a complete stranger.
She inspire me. I'm African-American & have traveled the world independently. My desire is to relocate once I retire & she has made me excited. What a beautiful queen! She definitely does not look 70!!❤❤
I loved your video, god bless you!! You’ve inspired me to consider Panama. Living in America as a black woman is depressing. I want OUT!! I’m only 31 && experienced racism trying to get my hair done. It really hurt my feelings. I’m a hard worker && willing to do whatever it takes. I just need the proper guidance. Thank you for being such a beautiful gem 💎.
Powerful words I am black, old, and a female. I love the way the Panamanian women aided her during time of need. 🇵🇦This was a really nice interview. Much success!
Based on the two-year timestamp on this video, Krstl is 72 now. Wondering how she is fairing and enjoying life in Panama these days. Hands-down, this video was truly one of the most inspiring; I shall look at it whenever my mood wavers as I think of the task ahead. Would not mind seeing an update. Jackie, I bet you are 110% correct; this lady is even more beautiful in person! I hope she is enjoying the fruits of her life‘s labor in Panama and staying healthy. 🙏Ty for posting this. -Deni in FL
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience and so sorry to hear about your fall and broken wrist, so happy to hear the lady's help you. I'm originally from Panama and recall as a little girl my parents making the trip to Boquete that was back in the late 60's and early 70's. I currently live in California. Wishing you a lifetime of health and happiness.
I too, have done this with my husband-we once relocated to Central America for season of our lives, but now I'm a widow and I intend to do it again. I could see Panama as being my new home. I was thinking of Portugal but Portugal has cold winters and I had enough of cold winters in Chicago.
Actually, it’s easy when you CHOOSE to change your life and follow through, and even easier when you rid yourself of all the literal and figurative baggage we saddle ourselves with - SO many possessions that people rent storage to keep the extra that won’t fit in their homes! lol Seriously, though, anything your mind can conceive, you CAN achieve - you just have to work through the mental blocks you allow to stay in your way. When it all comes down to it, I personally don’t want to realize at 70 or 80 or whatever that I’ve lived my life tied to possessions or people or places out of obligation, rather than living the life *I* choose for myself. (inspiration directly from reading Napoleon Hill and many others since age 13) Good luck with whatever YOU choose!
Krstl, your story is both moving and heart-warming to me. You expressed your situation so calmly and clearly, which makes me feel like I know you and I believe every word you say. I’m so glad you endorse the Jackie Lange Relocation Tours. I was thinking about doing on them, but you convinced me. Thank you for sharing everything you did. I feel much more confident in proceeding forward. You make me feel like living in Panama would be a safe, wise choice to maximize the quality of my life fir my remaining years. I wish I could more fully tell you hie grateful I am for your UA-cam video. I’m glad yo are happy there and that your wrist surgery went well. Enjoy every day you have in that beautiful Boquete area. With all my gratitude, Michael Elinski
At least she is making an honest effort to learn the local language. It was always mind boggling to me how many people would move to a foreign country with no desire to learn the local language and customs.
Hi David, The Panama Relocation Tour group sometimes visits Las Tablas. I love that town!! Send an email to jackie@panamarelocationtours.com I'd love to invite you to join us for lunch when the tour group is in Las Tablas so you can share what you think about living there.
Thank you for your interview I can’t believe your over 70 But that’s another subject I am 63 years of age, and feel really good now, after listening to you, I will be doing more reach search as possible And I will take the relocation tour, and I hope to meet you soon
You should into International Living. I have subscribed to this magazine and online updates for a couple years now. Lots of good information on all different countries - Portugal, Greece, Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, Thailand, etc. Very affordable to retire in many other countries.
This was the first video I am across about Panama Relocation Tours and I knew Panama would be my home away from home. She looks so content and at ease in this video. I have wanted over 50 videos, purchased the guide and listened to many of the recordings. I long for the day I plant me feet on the soils of Panama.
Stay tuned! We just did a follow up video with Krstl to give an update on how she is doing in Panama including her new business and new love in her life!!
I moved to Costa Rica 2013, I’ve been to Boqute Panama and I love it there. I’ve been adopted here in San Juan de Dios in the mountains above San Jose. The best thing I ever did, was to become a good guest. I’m having my 72nd birthday in January. Going back to LA to visit family. I enjoyed your presentation. Good luck Dear one❤️🎶🎶🙏💕
Love CR 👌 one of the places that stunned me was the area by LA PAZ waterfall. In Alajuela I stayed in Hortensia Hotel. Its stunning there. I live in LA county but im planning to keep checking out real estate in CR and Pan.
Krstl you are AMAZING!!! I know this video was 4 years ago but I just found it and have enjoyed hearing your honest description of your time in Bogete. I hope you are still doing well there. I am 61 yrs old and ready to get out of the US! I am hoping to take a tour in February 2025. Thank you so much for this video! God bless you🙏🏾
Personally, I relate to this video more than many other Expat videos I watched until now. Krstl's story is REAL. Clearly, she did her research. I am not Black but I am a minority (we are all in different situations) and I want to relocate so I can live on my SS monthly check comfortably. I do not look to buy property, drive a car, etc. I walk, take public transit, rent. I like the idea of learning and socializing with other Expats but Boquete may not be for me. However, I consider myself a resourceful person and surely open to exploring all available options - still taking notes. Krstl had a scary medical emergency but by sharing her experience, she is helping other SINGLE RETIREES like myself to see the relocation possibility from a different perspective. Thank YOU!
@@jimeckland Yeah ok, maybe in your neighborhood. I have helped many people in my day in the USA and have been helped. But it seems to be a different USA than the one I remember. I'm sure that there are a few good people left(a few), but the majority of the young are consumed with social media and likes to be concerned with other people. This is what I see a majority of the time. I'm happy that this is not your experience. There is still hope!!!
Im from North Carolina. I wanted my mom to do what you have but she couldn't... because she thought her age was a restriction. Im in my 40's. Im thinking of doing what you have. For someone of your age ,..they would but can't... to decide to make that serious move this is were you will live until its time to meet the Almighty. You have gr8 courage & see a clear path as to were you will spend the rest of your life. MUCH HAPPINESS...TO YOU 😍
I agree with so many others who have left comments... Kristi’s review of Panama and the Panama Relocation Tours is THE BEST!!! It is honest, comprehensive, sincere, clear, thorough, and highly informative. Kristi, I wish you the very best. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences,
I have watched this video many times along with several others and it continues to stir feelings of excitement about possibly moving to Panama. I am so looking forward to my tour.
Krstl, I so enjoyed listening to your video. I give you so much credit for searching the internet, and never giving up. You sound so happy, I'm happy for you. Your home is gorgeous. Thank God you found Jackie with all her wisdom. The best to you, enjoy your life, and when you said you were 70, I was shocked. You no way look your age. Sending hugs,
Thank you for your time dedicated to this video. I'm retired, 66yrs old, empty nester and ready to make a move. After viewing your commentary I feel comfortable contacting Relocation Tours. One of my main concerns are transport of furniture and car, is it possible to bring those items w/me. Being an only child and keeper of approx. (4) generations of antiques, it is important to me to maintain them. I am curious about container cargo expenses via a ship. Once again, thank you for the inspiration and seeing that dreams can come true.
I have resided (career) outside the U.S. for 13 of the last 15 years, and what it has taught me is that I am first and foremost a citizen of this entire earth. I have also discovered that human beings from other countries tend to be far more genuine, humble, peaceful, happy, hospitable, and accepting. For me, It is not a matter of if I will retire outside of the U.S., but rather where as there are so many wonderful countries to choose from, both in Southeast Asia and South America.
@@dariob52 I will be moving to Pensacola from ATL in March. But I didn't want to be so close to the beach. I thought Panama City would be halfway from the West of the beach to the Tallahassee point. I didn't want to be as far east as Tallahassee. Thing is I remember visiting Panama City Beach as a teenager and had the worse racist treatment ever in my life. It was one of the stores in Panama as a tourist and again at a pit stop on the way home. It's something I never forgot and I would never want to live around anything like that. So is there an area near there that's African American friendly. It's sad that I would even have to ask such a thing. But unfortunately it's the life we live being melenated in America
Wow! What a lovely lady! over 70? Never would of guessed that. She looks great! What an awesome story too as well as inspiring. Although, it really is sad that a person has to leave your own country to be treated properly, sad. Glad she found her place. Anyways, she seems so happy and life is treating her great!!! Cheers to you Krstl. :)
Krstl. You have a beautiful gift of communicating. I watched your more recent video twice before finding this one. A lot changed for you between the two recordings. My impression is that Panama has been wonderful for you. God has blessed you. :)
I am content that you have a positive experience with my home country. It is more expensive in Panama City. You have the mountains and cool weather. 🐦 watching on trails, strawberries and flowers. I am content that my people were kind to you. Stay blessed.
I enjoyed this video so much. As a young child, we visited Panama with my mother. This is where my mom and her sisters and brothers were raised. My mom's extended family all live in the US now. She met my dad when he was stationed in the military and they got married and moved to the States. I would love to take the Panama Relocation Tour now as an adult. Thank you for sharing your experience. You're a beautiful young looking 70 year old! I have a travel business and this inspired me to visit and promote Panama for others to enjoy. Thank you for sharing 😊
Krstl, you are amazing! I'm in my mid 60's and a single traveler. I plan to retire soon and Panama is my only choice to retire in. I definitely intend to take the Panama Relocation Tour and bring myself right on down there for freedom and relaxation!
This was interesting. My dream is to move somewhere tropical. I need to be near the ocean. After watching this, Panama is now on my radar. I'd love to take a tour.
Panama has 1,500 miles of coastline so there is a nice Ocean property for you somewhere in Panama. See more details about the tours at panamarelocationtours.com/tours
I'm from Panama and I was touch by how you described my wonderful country and people my dream is to go back when I retired you are beautiful and courageous awesome inspiration.
I love this! I youtubed expats in Panama for the exact questions she answered. Thank you Krstl! This was awesome especially knowing you're comfortable as a older black woman. Thanks SO much!
Kristi, Your You Tube departure from America is totally understood and I can share your desires to re- invent life after 70 as my age over shadows your 72 years of wisdom by 8 years. "Bravo, your open bravery has allowed you to choose wisely:" Were it not for being exposed to an herbicide product pump sprayed on poison oak/ivy, sawtooth briars & other wildly growing weeds/tall grasses, we might be next door neighbors as I intend to see my plans through to make Boquete' my final "casa bonita". II have made plans to do a two (2) week search and exploratory Boquete' & Volcan' rental property caravan with intent to sign a minimum six(6) month lease until moving several months afterward leaving my native born USA in the rear view mirror. All my immediate family think I have lost "all of my marbles" but I have spoken to my "Father In Heaven and WE are on the same page of Our Bible". I'm going for IT in "Ever So Sweet Panama"!
Thank you so much for sharing your new experience living in Panama and listing information regarding Panama relocation. I am definitely saving this info for when I get closer to retirement.
SO GLAD to see this updated video from Krstl!!! Saw her first one! GREAT Video Panama Relocation Tours!! THANKS KRSTL!!! Lots of details. That medical bill was really high though. $6,000..but I know it would be MORE here in the US. I would have to make sure I got some health coverage. Krstl you look AWESOME TO BE OVER 70 yrs old!!!!!
Wow your story is so inspiring, such an adventurous, get it spirit!! I must say you're beautiful both inside and out. You're spirit just radiates through the video. Thank you for sharing so very detailed with lots of gems. Blessings to you 🌻

@@Teri_Head you are correct. Health is wealth.
Im retired U.S military, Can I use Tricare Insurance there?
"I'm treated like a person". Such a powerful statement. I look forward to finding such a place.😊
What are you waiting for?
@@wanaraz Your profile name is probably the answer.
If you are an African American when you travel out of the United States you will realise that you have been living under a thick dark cloud. Try it. Thank me later.

I absolutely love how you're over 70 and moved out of your comfort zone alone and started a new chapter in your life! Bless you! Also, thanks for all the detailed info!
Lovely lady! I’m going to check this out after hearing you!
Gives me strength. I just turned 66 and was thinking I was too old now to make the move. I am feeling youthful now!
On a contrary she moved INTO comfort zone )
Romance dies fast. I went to Panama and after a few months, everything got boring. Food is more expensive than in Canada, and there are zones you should not walk at night, even for a guy.
@@laurayale369 Go for tourism first and stay six months to see how you can cope.
I'm not ready to retire but she made me want to move. I feel her spirit. It's like she is experiencing true freedom. I am happy for her!!
You are treated as you should be, Beautiful and wonderful.
I was born and raised in this beautiful paradise, I moved to the US 10 years ago. I am a dual citizen and I love both countries with all my heart but the U.S has become a nightmare. My soul is asking me to move back to that peaceful and lovely place! ❤
this inflation would make you back eventually
Listen to your SOUL. When a place becomes a nightmare...you will have no peace there
@@WWEENETWORK and I did! Closing the chapters up there in FL was intense but I am now living my best life here in Boquete!!!
Yes, the U.S. is now a very toxic place to live. Everyone is so angry.
Wish I was there 😪
I'm so glad you mention about being looked at as just being a person. That's all I want to be looked at as being. I'm so tired of racism and crazy racist people.
i'm so tired that 90% of discourse has become about racism
If you have a problem wherever you go, maybe you're the problem.
@@joeespo177 Yeah it's just narcissistic attention-seeking.
@@slappy8941 i'm not the problem in 90% of the discourse in our country. i can pretty much guarantee that, but thank you for giving so much credit
@JoeEspo17- Your tiredness is noted. Wow, such luxury to imagine that your tiredness is of importance enough to actually share with others.
Imagine living it.
Better yet, try to imagine living in another person's shoes.
I was walking in the street. Panama has one of those crazy weathers where suddenly the sky opens and half of the Pacific Ocean pours down. I was rapidly walking to find a coffee shop to get into. A guy in his car called me and when I looked he had his umbrella in his hand offering it to me. I couldn't accept but can't forget that kindness towards a complete stranger.
That happens all the time in Panama.
She inspire me. I'm African-American & have traveled the world independently. My desire is to relocate once I retire & she has made me excited. What a beautiful queen! She definitely does not look 70!!❤❤
Awesome
Exactly she does not look 70.

At least she is making an honest effort to learn the local language. It was always mind boggling to me how many people would move to a foreign country with no desire to learn the local language and customs.
That’s so cool you found your happy place where everyone is nice and friendly.
I want to be your neighbor too.
I've been living in Las Tablus Panama for almost 9 years, NEVER looked back, probably the best move I have ever made.
Hi David, The Panama Relocation Tour group sometimes visits Las Tablas. I love that town!! Send an email to jackie@panamarelocationtours.com I'd love to invite you to join us for lunch when the tour group is in Las Tablas so you can share what you think about living there.
Do they have any diseases in panama? Like yellow fever etc that someone should be aware of?
A beautiful person with a youthful and vintage touch f class. The sun shines through thanks for sharing..
Heartbreaking to hear her say it’s nice to simply be treated like a person. Beautiful that she has found her happy place.
I have watched many of these videos but this one is one I have truly enjoyed. I hope life is still well and peaceful for Krstl
Krstl is doing very well in Panama. Even met the love of her life!
@@PanamaRelocationTours wow! Way to go kstl...but she's such a lovely lady im not surprised.
I was stationed there in the late 90’s for a few years. I would like go to back to visit. It was very nice!! I’m glad you found your happy place.
Thank you for your interview
I can’t believe your over 70
But that’s another subject
I am 63 years of age, and feel really good now, after listening to you, I will be doing more reach search as possible
And I will take the relocation tour, and I hope to meet you soon
You are so welcome! We have space available on the Panama Relocation Tours. See details here panamarelocationtours.com/tours
Very helpful video. It’s nice to get the perspective of a seasoned, Black woman.
Oh wow. Never thought about moving out of the country for retirement. Eye opening. Thanks for the information! She’s so pleasant.

Thank you for your time dedicated to this video. I'm retired, 66yrs old, empty nester and ready to make a move. After viewing your commentary I feel comfortable contacting Relocation Tours. One of my main concerns are transport of furniture and car, is it possible to bring those items w/me. Being an only child and keeper of approx. (4) generations of antiques, it is important to me to maintain them. I am curious about container cargo expenses via a ship. Once again, thank you for the inspiration and seeing that dreams can come true.
I think the panama relocation tour will have those answers for you.
I have resided (career) outside the U.S. for 13 of the last 15 years, and what it has taught me is that I am first and foremost a citizen of this entire earth. I have also discovered that human beings from other countries tend to be far more genuine, humble, peaceful, happy, hospitable, and accepting. For me, It is not a matter of if I will retire outside of the U.S., but rather where as there are so many wonderful countries to choose from, both in Southeast Asia and South America.
You're so right!
I am glad you are a real person and shared your experience in the other areas and what you preffered in Boquete beautiful and youthful.
I am glad you are happy. I am considering a move to Panama when I am able also and I am a black American female.
@@dariob52 Really why is that just curious I have no information about the place.
@@dariob52 I will be moving to Pensacola from ATL in March. But I didn't want to be so close to the beach. I thought Panama City would be halfway from the West of the beach to the Tallahassee point. I didn't want to be as far east as Tallahassee. Thing is I remember visiting Panama City Beach as a teenager and had the worse racist treatment ever in my life. It was one of the stores in Panama as a tourist and again at a pit stop on the way home. It's something I never forgot and I would never want to live around anything like that. So is there an area near there that's African American friendly. It's sad that I would even have to ask such a thing. But unfortunately it's the life we live being melenated in America
Google User Don’t you realize that they’re talking about Panama City, Panama 🇵🇦 in Central America and not Panama City in Florida??? 🇺🇸
@@mikeh.7025 I'm talking about Florida
Lyric Parker I get that lady however this video is about Panama, Panama the country.
Ms.Krstl please stay in touch thanks for sharing your journey with us!
One of the best interviews I've seen about Boquete, Panama. Jackie and Krstl, thanks to both of you.
You are DELIGHTFUL 😊 I visited friends in Boquete last year and am TOTALLY in agreement how wonderful it is !!!!!
It really is!
Wow! What a lovely lady! over 70? Never would of guessed that. She looks great! What an awesome story too as well as inspiring. Although, it really is sad that a person has to leave your own country to be treated properly, sad. Glad she found her place. Anyways, she seems so happy and life is treating her great!!! Cheers to you Krstl. :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Krstl is very happy in Panama. See her other video where she talks about finding LOVE in Panama too!
Krstl. You have a beautiful gift of communicating. I watched your more recent video twice before finding this one. A lot changed for you between the two recordings. My impression is that Panama has been wonderful for you. God has blessed you. :)
I am content that you have a positive experience with my home country. It is more expensive in Panama City. You have the mountains and cool weather. 🐦 watching on trails, strawberries and flowers. I am content that my people were kind to you. Stay blessed.
I enjoyed this video so much.
As a young child, we visited Panama with my mother. This is where my mom and her sisters and brothers were raised.
My mom's extended family all live in the US now.
She met my dad when he was stationed in the military and they got married and moved to the States. I would love to take the Panama Relocation Tour now as an adult. Thank you for sharing your experience. You're a beautiful young looking 70 year old!
I have a travel business and this inspired me to visit and promote Panama for others to enjoy.
Thank you for sharing 😊
What is the name of your travel business?
Isn’t that the way life really is, too? Research then trust and follow your heart.
Krstl, you are amazing! I'm in my mid 60's and a single traveler. I plan to retire soon and Panama is my only choice to retire in. I definitely intend to take the Panama Relocation Tour and bring myself right on down there for freedom and relaxation!
You can do it! A Panama Relocation Tour is the best way to learn about moving to Panama the RIGHT WAY! They made Krstl's move easy!
This was interesting. My dream is to move somewhere tropical. I need to be near the ocean. After watching this, Panama is now on my radar. I'd love to take a tour.
Panama has 1,500 miles of coastline so there is a nice Ocean property for you somewhere in Panama. See more details about the tours at panamarelocationtours.com/tours
I see you as a beautiful human being, warm and caring. Thank you for your time and input.
I love this lady! Great outlook and very informative video. Love her honesty.
I'm from Panama and I was touch by how you described my wonderful country and people my dream is to go back when I retired you are beautiful and courageous awesome inspiration.
Over 70?... Naw...!!! What great shape you're in 'Grandma'!
Krstl has the most beautiful complexion - because of the natural products she makes and uses.
@@PanamaRelocationTours I still think she has discovered 'Ponce de Leon' somewhere in beautiful Panama!
@@PanamaRelocationTours Blessings to all.
Lovely lady, wishing you much happiness.💖
Such a great interview, loved her advice regarding best times to look for a long term rental. Will be taking the April tour, so looking forward to it!
Give insight after tour.
what a concept-real and warm people
Classy, wise and sweet lady. . . Stay wonderful. You’re inspiring. Best vibes,from a US expat in Europe. X
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I was impressed by the way you explained how you are treated. That is so important.
Thank you, thank you. You have given me a lot more confidence to pursue my own Panama relocation plan.
What a BEAUTIFUL story! Krstl is my kindred spirit.
I love this! I youtubed expats in Panama for the exact questions she answered. Thank you Krstl! This was awesome especially knowing you're comfortable as a older black woman. Thanks SO much!
This lady is so delightful; really enjoyed listening to her experiences! Thank you. ^_^
A woman after my own heart! Good for you girl!
Excellent testimony! She was very informative.
I live in Panama for 3 yrs , We was station at Albrook Air Froce Base loved it .
I was born in Panama - Canal Zone. Not sure which AFB it was - maybe Albrook?
M Chrysogelos lived next to Albrook in early 70’s. Went to Los Rios elementary and Diablo Heights elementary.
Of course people are friendly. You are so gracious and personable. I cannot believe you are 70! You must be living right. You are the testimonial.
Prayer and tea! You can't wrong there! Bless you, sister!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. This video reflects your energy matching to where your soul has guided you. Blessings ❤
I lived in Panama 3 years in my early 20 s. The ppl there are very family oriented, loving and caring! I was thinking bout moving back as my home!
Kristi,
Your You Tube departure from America is totally
understood and I can share your desires to re-
invent life after 70 as my
age over shadows your 72 years of wisdom by 8
years. "Bravo, your open bravery has allowed you to choose wisely:"
Were it not for being exposed to an herbicide
product pump sprayed on
poison oak/ivy, sawtooth briars & other wildly growing weeds/tall grasses, we might be next
door neighbors as I intend to see my plans
through to make Boquete'
my final "casa bonita".
II have made plans to do a two (2) week search and exploratory Boquete'
& Volcan' rental property
caravan with intent to sign a minimum six(6)
month lease until moving
several months afterward
leaving my native born USA in the rear view mirror.
All my immediate family
think I have lost "all of my
marbles" but I have spoken to my "Father In
Heaven and WE are on the same page of Our Bible". I'm going for IT in
"Ever So Sweet Panama"!
Thank you so much for sharing your new experience living in Panama and listing information regarding Panama relocation. I am definitely saving this info for when I get closer to retirement.
Glad it was helpful!
Lovely, interesting video Krstl. You have a winning personality that I am sure people love wherever you go.
This was so helpful and I love Krstl's home.
Shes so inspiring!
