Even if it wasn’t meant to be disrespectful please don’t regard Panama as no 51st state… Panama is its own country ruled by their own people and it should be respected as such. Thank u!

I enjoyed the video, I have been to Panama since 2018, I’m from Argentina. It’s a beautiful and quiet place. The economy is stable, it’s a good point to stay here! Enjoy “retire and go”!

Boquete is a very popular place to retire, due to its eternal spring climate.

I often think about what Panama is like today. I was an U.S. Marine deployed to Panama in 1989 and 1990. Aside from the hostilies. The country and especially the women were very beautiful and very nice. I hope to visit Panama some day again.

I vacationed there in December and absolutely loved it. Nice break from Chicago.

Hello friend, I was recently watching a KZfaq video you made related to Panama, I just wanted to clarify that Panama is located in Central America, not South America. Located between Costa Rica and Colombia, between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, just a small comment. Very nice video

I'm Panamanian living in Kansas. I really appreciate your video.

Isn't Panama considered Central America?

The one it closes on Sundays is Avda Balboa, you are right, they only close one direction, but goes all the way to the islands connected to the city by a road built with the sand they took from the Panama channel when was built. Amazing ride for biking or running on Sundays, i did that one for years, very recommended

Thank you for such an awesome video. I admire the lifestyle that you are living. At 60 yrs old and on the verge of retirement you have inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and make the next phase of my life an adventure!!! Be well.

Enjoying your content. Love your attitude and style.

Enjoyed your presentation and your style. Thank you. Doug

Thank you for the video.

I will be spending the month of January in Panama. No more Midwest winters for me

Thanks for love 🇵🇦...Great video God Bless You

Thank you for bringing up retirement and places to potentially Expat. Those tacos looked amazing ,👍

You are absolutely adorable! Loved the video. I am coming on a tour this summer to see where I want to settle. I retire in a year and can't wait to make my home in Panama. Thanks for the video. Made me more excited than I already am!! 😊

Thank you for all the information you provided

Great video!

Nice video, i enjoyed your content, Panama city Panama is beautiful

Great video and very inspiring. You mention rent of $800 per month,....I wonder if that is on the high side for something reasonable. I imagine with a bit more searching, one can find cheaper long term accomodations. I think $800 would eat too far into an average SS check of $1500/month.

Excellent video

great video

Thank you 🙏🏼

That pizza looks 10/10. 🍕

You look good, eating that delicious 😋 pizza! Thanks for sharing this..😉

Was there two weeks ago loved it !

Nice video! I am visiting Panama as we speak. Some things less expensive ( groceries, Uber), but restaurants r not. Clothing is not. Gas is not. Don’t know about rent.Plan to get out of the city in hopes of better prices

Waiting on my passport, soon I can join you in the fun! 😉

Thinking of joining peace corps in Panama, knowing this could potentially be a bus ride away from where I’d stay makes me feel so at ease. Thank you for this!

Very nice video showing the charms of Panama City. As someone who first visited in 1982, this city has grown in leaps and bounds. I need to point out a couple of things. Panama is not in South America. It is in Central America. The reason that you encountered so many English speaking people is because Panama has very attractive visa offerings. The main one is the Pensionado visa (pensioners visa). Panama wants to attract retirees who will come to live and spend their pensions in the country. You are not allowed to work as a pensioner, therefore you will not be taking from the country but contributing. This visa will also give anyone over 55 years of age, discounts on every service imaginable. Buses, air travel, medical, entry fees, movie theaters ,pharmacies etc.etc.. Additionally they have visas for those who start a business and employ Panamanians, real estate investors etc. Panama is also the airline hub of the Americas. You can fly to multiple US, Canada, Central American, South American and European destinations. There is even a flight to Istanbul where you can connect to Asia. The city and its closest surroundings are more expensive. The central and western part of the country, towards Costa Rica, is much more affordable. Panama is also a business hub, with 190 foreign companies operating regional offices there. Let’s not forget the Panama Canal also. Regarding the old city area, it has become a very nice refurbished area. When I first visited in 1982, it was a dump, totally in disrepair. It has now become a very beautiful location. Regarding food, despite all the great offerings, you are really on a carbohydrate overload! Despite all your walking, if you keep eating and drinking this way, your health will suffer. Take it from me a 71 year old man, who has the same waist size as when I was 25 years old and who has to watch very carefully what and how I eat. I will admit though that that pizza looked very appetizing. One last question, how can you wear jeans and a jean shirt in such hot humid weather? I know that you are a minimalist traveler. The other day you were on the beach in Brazil, walking around in jeans. It has to be uncomfortable.

Te estas dando la vida que tu te mereces

You keep saying South America, Panama is in Central America.

Hi ,as a pre retired i would like to have your opinion between south Asia and South America according to the cost of life, security, weather, thanks a lot and Aloha

I like this guy's videos, he reminds me of a evil bad guy on a Steven sagal movie!!!

If you have an opportunity to ride a stand up electric scooter, I always found that the best way to sightsee.

That architecture is so beautiful. Just amazing. ❤❤

Love your positivity, brother 👍🌅

Clear pictures and sound ! Tell us about bachelor or 1-bedroom apt rental !

Another spot that has been on my Radar, the Pizza and tacos looked amazing. Malaho

Everywhere is so clean.

a couple of Nitpicks, Panama is actually in central america, Panamanians may find offensive calling their country the 51st state, specially with all the history they share. I've been to panama a few times and I love it, the only reason I wouldn't live there is the traffic and the heat, my god the heat is next level.

I just saw your interview on Mark Thorton’s channel. It was great to know more about you. I appreciate your efforts with your channel. What do you think about SCHD, the dividend ETF? Thank you

After your tour of south america. Pls compare with South east asia

I'll be there June 2025 Retired , you make me jealous. Thanks for the tour and thoughts, I stopped to listen to you because I said this guy dresses like me. Clean neat conservative , you know Old School. Thanks Man good Video Vince Murry

I would look at David, decent size town. All the amenities and much more affordable

Love your videos. Don't know if you ever talked about when you will retire. Slow down in travel. Where would you hang your hat and why

I just Subscribed, need suggestions boquette or casco viejo which I better for my first Visit. Please answer this question Please and Thank you

So what I learned about Panama primarily is that its located in Central America not South America

Thanks nice video. Was it really hot ?I noticed you wore a denim jacket!😮

Good afternoon thanks for visit me country,but panama is part of Central America.

Hello there, your video is very interesting. Please note that Panama is in Central America not in South America. Thank you.

Are there beach towns with public transit that go in to panama city?

Panama is central America no south America.

They must have shut down the road for a special event which they do from time to time, but it is not always shut down. I have a view of it and it has traffic on weekend.

Yeah Man , Coffee and fresh bakery goods, oh yeah. Vince Murry

👍👍👍

Of all your travels which country do you recommend

I've heard it can get unbearably hot and humid in the capital of Panama. More than Miami. That would be my only gripe !

How would you compare Panama City to Kuala Lumpur?

I am visiting panama in a couple weeks. What is the name of the restaurant where you got the two sausage rolls with a coffee for $2.50?

You never mentioned the resentment that many Panamanians have toward the US due to the Canal business. I hear that the Canal has a museum where Panama portrays itself as the sole entity of importance concerning its construction & financing.

How's the personal safety? About the food, why aren't you eating local foods?

Are you going to Pedasi ? Gracias & aloha

I'm going to Panama city in a few months. Do you think it's safe going there alone for a woman ? I'm a digital noma d too...

Panama is in Central America.

I never been there. I heard it was expensive. I have been to Colombia a few times which is a lot of fun.

Excellent colonial architectural views

Ohh boy, I'm in love with that HOT TACO! 😅 Yummy 😋

6:21 Just so you know you can't work in Panama for a Panamanian company unless you have a work permit.

En panama

Sadly, my brother has not prepared for retiring. At 58, he has nothing, and only barely qualifies for SS, which would get him about $700/mo. His daughter is following in his footsteps. I’m frustrated because I’ve worked hard and sacrificed a lot to amass funds, and they will end up burdening me. If not monthly then with some enormous medical expense.

It seems with all the Americans coming it may raise prices. 😮

Central America

I get hungry watching you...........eat.

Just came to ask aren't you an immigrant instead of an expat?

51 this!!

After 25 years in Panama , which is actually Central America. You CAN NOT live in Panama on US Social security. That is poverty level living . Please do not be mislead by a dude who visited for a hot minute. Panama is not the states, we use Spanish, the culture is soo far removed from what you are used to. Do your research properly. Your retirement money does go further here nor will it..

Panama is in Central America. And it is not American. It is PANAMANIAN.

Panama is Central America, not South America 😂😂

Good research and content but too much looking at you while you walk. I want to see what you are walking past. Put your ego aside and improve your videos. Thank you

Panama is NOT and will NEVER be another star on the US's flag!!
