I am based in the beautiful expat town of Cambutal, Los Santos Province.
Our History and Philosophy
Panama is a unique country, and like every expat would say: you need a huge sack of patience to navigate around here. I’ve made this blog to make your life easier and provide rich information about traveling, living, investing, and social impact in Panama.
This blog is not made for those who wear suits and like fancy city living. This blog is made for those explorer and adventurers who live every single day like it’s their last; for the non-conformist and for those always seeking new ideas; for those who love nature and appreciate the beauty this country has to offer. Living in Panama can be hard but extremely rewarding.
I hope our information will be of great value to you.
