wonderful video!!! I loved it. so much information and your enthusiasm is contagious :) Thank you for sharing. I am an artist too, and I'm definitely planning a boots on the ground trip early 2025.
Wow.! Excelente video con información muy valiosa.! Muchas Gracias. En mi plan de vida esta mudarme próximamente a otro pais y dentro de mis opciones estaban Las Bahamas y Panamá; a partir de hoy creo que estoy descartando a las Bahamas e inclinandome definitivamente por Panamá. Nuevamente mil gracias.! 👍
I have built both bamboo and PVC ceilings... There was even some sections of tongue in groove teak. Panama also does a lot of suspended ceiling using ceiling panels
Great video. Thank you. I'll most likely be retiring to Panama from the US next year. I also own and love my Jeep Wrangler. The question that I have been trying to figure out is, should I bring my jeep over to Panama or do I sell it in the US and then buy one there? My jeep has a winch, roof rack, extra lights, the works. I wonder if all that kind of custom work to a jeep is possible in Panama?
Loved your video and aerial shots. Just back from a visit to Boquete and will be coming for an extended stay-cation. Would love to connect - island people, creative entrepreneurs, and you're dog people!!!😊
There are MANY things you need to start a business. A corporation, business license, RUC number, DGI, social security, etc. Plus the attorney will verify that you are not doing a business that is protected for Panamanians only! You need a lawyer to navigate all this for you.
Vancouver has the same earthquake building codes, actually they are much stricter than Panama. Panama does not get huge earthquakes, just little tremors from time to time. Nothing serious. Yes, it rains quite a bit in the winter but that's not a bad thing. We need it to balance the dry season and to have fresh produce every year. As an expat here I find it very safe.
I'm from California, the earthquakes here are nothing to be concerned with. Natural disasters are nothing to be concerned with here in general. Yes, the highland towns gets lots of rain. You could live in the Azuero area & the rainfall there is around 40 inches a year, so that's fairly low amount. Of course, the tradeoff is warmer weather.
Boquete is an expensive place to live in Panama. Too many expats living there. And yes. Expats driving the living costs up. If you living on a budget, stay away from gated communities where rents are high plus maintenance fees are high too.
