Embark on an exhilarating journey through Panama with us, as we uncover the diverse landscapes and cultures of this fascinating country. We kick things off welcoming our friends, Julie Tallman and Roy McGinnis. They captivate us with tales of their September 2024 exploration, weaving through lush mountain retreats like Anton's Valley and Santa Fe, and finding a surprising gem in Pedasi—a coastal village that might just be their future home. Julie and Roy's stories offer a charming mix of humor and insight, as they navigate Panama's roads and cultural quirks, sharing their delightful encounters over local foods and unexpected detours.

For those entertaining ideas of a Panamanian escape, we dive into the nitty-gritty of relocating. From the contrasts between the Caribbean and Pacific coasts to the nuances of healthcare and visa logistics, we cover it all. With an eye on practicalities, we discuss everything from water quality to the possibility of maintaining Medicare while enjoying Panama's affordable healthcare. As we look forward to the upcoming International Living Conference, we emphasize the importance of preparedness and research for anyone considering a life abroad. Whether you're dreaming of retirement or just curious about the expatriate experience, this episode promises a treasure trove of insights and advice to ponder.
