Living abroad with kids is a whole different ballgame. I should know. I’ve been doing it for the majority of my time in Panama. I moved here in the early 2000’s, enamored with Panama and all it had to offer. As a real estate investor and consultant, I knew that Panama real estate was on the […]
Coronado has a way of unlocking passions. It did so for me when I moved here, and its what I’ve seen happen to countless expats in the nine years since. In Coronado, people whose hobbies once consisted of “sleep” and “watch TV” find themselves blooming into fun-loving, grab-life-by-the-coconuts kids-at-heart. The setting simply calls for it. With […]
If Panama’s Gold Coast were a sports team, Playa Coronado and Gorgona would be the two MVPs. When deciding which MVP you want to be rooting for (i.e investing in)- you need only answer these questions: 1. Are you looking to move in, or strictly to invest? and (if you choose #1): 2. Are you looking […]
If you’re tapped into your entrepreneurial side, you may have heard Panama calling your name. Not literally, of course. But anyone who stays up to date on the international landscape knows that Panama is in full throttle. With the fastest growing economy in Latin America and a blossoming middle class, expat, and tourism scene, Panama has […]
Well, you’ve gone and done it. You’ve fallen in love with Panama. Can’t say I blame you; it happened to me, too. Though, I was lucky enough to have met my husband while traveling through Latin America. I was young, after all (or should I say younger) when I first planted my flag in Panamanian soil. […]
Panama comes with its own set of rules. Yes, there are still the universal attributes that an entrepreneur should have no matter where they are. Whether you’re in Australia, where I started, or Panama, where I ended up, the timeless traits of the entrepreneur will always serve you well. In Panama, however, I’ve found that some […]
What is it about the seaside that we find so irresistible? Maybe it’s the sound of sapphire waves lapping peacefully against the shore. Or maybe it’s that feeling of sand beneath our feet, softening our soles as we comb the coastline for sand dollars and starfish. Whatever the appeal may be, it’s clear that it’s not […]
1. Your Home Will Look Like it’s Straight Out of a Magazine Have you ever grown accustomed to waking up amidst the sounds of the ocean? How about jumping out of bed and onto your balcony to watch the tide roll in from your chaise lounge? In Panama, it’s more common than you think. While real […]
So you’re on the verge. You’ve kept your eye close upon Panama. You’ve witnessed its steady growth- first gradual, then rampant. You watched as it grew from “that place with the Canal” to the jewel of the Americas- the world’s top retirement haven, the fastest growing economy in the hemisphere. And, much like Florida’s first round […]
We hadn’t even been served our appetizers by the time they asked. “They” were a young Canadian couple- early 30’s and freshly hitched. We had just spent the day touring properties, several of which they found all too easy to picture themselves in. Now, as we sat down for a well-deserved lunch at the Coronado Country […]
I’m the mother of two young children, and I don’t envy the person competing against them –whether for a job, degree, or date- in 10 years. I don’t mean to brag. Anyone who knows me will tell you I’m the last person to place my kids upon a pedestal. They have sticky fingers, toothy smiles, and […]
