A FANTASTIC place and a great spot Enjoy every minute of it. I have my best friend that lives in Panama city and last year we drove around the pacific ocean side of Panama 🇵🇦 a beautiful blessing it was.
We met you both in the Atlanta airport just before we boarded our flight to Panama on January 18th. We're glad that you are both doing well and enjoying your new life. We've been in Boquete for seven months, however, we are relocating to Pedasi, so we'll be just down the road. Hopefully, we'll see you again soon.
I do remember you! I'm basically shy then was stunned to meet someone from PRT that day so I wasn't very talkative. Pedasi is very nice, I will send you a FB friend request and we can meet up when you get moved.
John, may I ask why you have relocated from Boquete to Pedasi? I am looking into relocating from the U.S. to Boquete or perhaps Cerro Punta. I'm searching for a much cooler climate. I've resided in Texas my entire life and am so looking forward to a life in the mountains and much cooler temps. Thanks for your response.
@@jorgebarrera1689 we love Boquete, however, in the rainy season (9 months) it rains almost every day and can be overcast (and cool) for several days in a row. We lived on the Gulf Coast in the U.S. and prefer warm, sunny weather. Cerro Punta is beautiful, but there's not much to do there. Just our opinion... I hope that helps. The truth is, you may have to try several places before you find the right one for you.... RENT, don't buy for as least a year.
Thanks, John. I agree, renting a home is the way to go for at least the first year. I prefer the cooler climate of Boquete verses living along the coast. I'm done living in the heat and humidity of southeast Texas. Thanks for your reply, John. Best of luck to you, Sir.
Great video! Sadly, I also lived abroad and felt safer overseas than I do in the USA…I definitely plan to travel to determine where I’ll retire. I’m planning to visit many countries to find my new home.
Yes indeed! What a wonderful video! I’m really excited for my hopeful future in such a beautiful, fantastic and glorious country as Panama 🇵🇦 I’m going to celebrate my 64th birthday in February and Believe me, I’m ready for a major life-facelift !!! 😊❤🎉🥳✨🙏✨
Thank you for the beautiful information if that was not with the pandemic, we would have been in Panama for a long time and would be thankfully to your service. I hope my English is good so far. Thank you and stay healthy. Many greetings from Berlin Mahlsdorf South Family Kowohl
Thank you so much you two, for making this great video. I've got health concerns, so your advice was very much appreciated. What a beautiful home you have there. The sound of those waves, is music to my ears. My husband and I are starting our 1 year plan to move there. New Subscriber!!!
Thank you. Health care is good here, everything is pretty much available in Panama City. Numerous specialties are available throughout the country, just depends on your needs. Frequency and how far you are willing to travel are the main things to consider when choosing a location to live.
@@lindafagerlin4543 I've watched dozens of video's and have a notebook half full already! Your video is the one I keep coming back to. Your place is perfect, and with the pool too! I hope when we make the move, that we are able to find such a gorgeous place on the beach! I don't have the physical ability to do the 6 day bus tour, so we may rent somewhere for a month, and visit during the slower season, and do one day tours of the areas we like. It's really exciting!! Thanks to you and your brother for doing this video
I just went to the doctor this week in the U.S. and he put a scope up my nose, said everything looks great. I wasn’t in the patient room with him for no more than 5 to 8 minutes, the bill was $788.00. Thank GOD I have Medicare, they still charged me $56.77 and demanded payment before I left the office. Find me a place to stay, please.
I agreed with you, Florida very dangerous specially in South Beach. I don't hang around too long there. I live in north miami beach one block from the beach, beautiful ocean view, but my condo fee keep going every yr so is my real estate tax. Crazy
Great informative video. Good to see the rent amount shown in the comments for the home. Great deal!.. Living in So Cal rents and cola has gone haywire. Cant wait to get down there. I am thinking we are bound for Boquete area , we like the cooler weather.. no more searing heat April - October and AC bills! I would like to know about the mold you mentioned in Boquete, was it due to the home construction or lack of a dry room? ( Dehumidifier that runs 24/7) . I don't want to have to throw out my clothes every few months.
I moved to Boquete in 2010. I keep the windows open during the day and use ceiling fans to keep the air circulating so I do not have a mold problem... nor do I need to throw my clothes away.
@@PanamaRelocationTours Thank you for this info. I will be returning to Panama soon. I want to rent something around $400.00 a month in the Cheriqui area. I do speak Spanish.
Specifics would’ve motivated me to finish the video. Saying that you would’ve “paid $45000 a month for a lodging in Florida” similar to yours in Panama was misleading (did you mean $4500/mo.?) - then not telling us your Panama rental amount - was disappointing. I kept listening for actual/credible numbers - then you changed the subject to shopping. Here again, no numbers, no items, no budgets - just a warning that we “might not be able to get everything (we) do at home.” ?? You’re a pleasant couple to watch and listen to; I’d love to know more than you’re telling me here.
We did mean $4500. Includes all utilities except our cell phones and trash. We pay $16 a year for trash. Liability car insurance about $100 a year. Items I have not found that I use (maybe available in other parts of Panama): dry mustard, Italian seasoning, sage. Most household and groceries are about the same price I paid in rural Missouri. Produce and fish are cheaper and fresher. Brand name items are higher than the US such as Crystal light-$ 5 for a box of 10. Over the counter meds can be more expensive, paid $10 for 30 tabs. U turn tickert is $75, speeding $50. Points are not assigned to your license so insurance rates do not go up. Fried fish with fries or pantacones around $10 for dinner. Roasted chicken with rice and slaw around $3.50 for lunch. Regarding a budget, my income and what I choose to spend it on are personal. Overall our income goes further here.
@@jrgazoo4903 2 seasons here. Windy season--very very little rainfall Approximately Nov to April. Rainy season--rains some, but not all days. When it does rain it is usually not all day. Many days have good breezes, but it can be humid when there isn't one. Year round lows in the 70s, highs in the low 90s.
They rented for $1000 a month. But the owners decided to sell the property so it is no longer for rent. See our other videos of rentals in that area for as little as $600 a month for a furnished two bedroom (no pool)
Well. This video shouldn’t talk about the beauty of Panama only. Especially in Uverito where you have every week power outages for hours! And you should talk about the incredible loud music played on Panama beaches from locals so people who do live there can’t sleep from Friday afternoon to Sunday night! In Playa Uverito are many Gringos who bought overpriced properties, leaving after a couple of months, returning to the states with the houses rotting in the ocean air. Now the houses are on the market (already bought overpriced) with another mark up - absolutely nobody with a clear mind will pay. Wait. I forgot Americans who just buy without thinking. One advice from someone who did live there and moved away from Playa Uverito. Stay away from friendly North Americans who “just like to help you”. It will get very expensive! From renting to buying. Ask locals what average prices are for properties and rental places and you will safe a lot of money. - And remember please another thing. Panamanians do not clean the beaches when they go home. If you consider a beach house, expect garbage and very loud music. You can get nice places a couple blocks from the beach,quieter and cleaner. And you don’t have to watch people who pee where they like to. No public toilets on the beaches!
The "friendly" ( ha ha) Canadians at Playa Uverito can be dangerous to your wallet too. If people would take our advice to NOT BUY REAL ESTATE until you have lived in Panama at least a year, it could prevent these problems. I agree that Playa Uverito is not an ideal location. There are much better beaches in Panama.
@@PanamaRelocationTours As mentioned, I did live there for 10 months. I did get some stories about this “friendly” people and started to walk around with a shaking head like the bubble head figurines. Offering properties completely overpriced to Expats. But the buyers aren’t using there head either. Instead to go around and talk to locals about the real estate prices, they trust people they don’t even know. BTW. I was never invited to the weekly gathering in their house. I think I was asking too many questions or they figured out they can’t run me over. But again. Your video made them famous for people who would like to move to Panama. A short story what locals told me when I was asking around. Locals told me one day: “We don’t sell properties to you. Because you are using your head. North Americans only use their cheque book…. I think that says it all about Americans. Well. To make it worse. A American lady moved with all her pets to Panama. Her dog didn’t fit in the small rental car she came with. She paid - attention please - $800!!! to a “friendly” Panamanian couple to deliver the dog from Panama City to Uverito. Makes me sometimes think why humans survived the ice age. Because with so much stupidity- there isn’t survival guaranteed in the wild! Anyway. I still shaking my head once in a while when I hear that Expats pay $1,500 for a small apartment… PEOPLE! A normal Panamanian makes around $650 monthly. Only rich people can afford to pay $1,500 or more in Panama. When the Americans than ask me, how much I pay for the two bedroom house I am renting, they sit there with an open mouth. I pay $350 plus utilities ($22) monthly. No real estate person involved. Directly from the owner. People. Use your brain…. ;-)
Hello again you two! I've been looking for over a month now, since I started my research, and of all the videos and places there are to stay in Panama, your home is the perfect one I keep coming back to. I just love everything about the property (including the pool!). My hope is that we can find something just as wonderful, but without the stairs. I can manage 3 or 4, but more than that is too much. I'll be looking! We're planning on visiting Panama in September or October, and staying the full 6 months if need be, before we come home to sell our home. Then there'll be nothing holding us here, and it will be on to our adventure. Take care of each other, and have fun knowing you're the envy of people around the world. 🏌♂🏄🐒🐮🦜🐠🐞🌴🍉🌋
