Panama or Belize by 7obra..
If you were going to retire on one or the other which one would you pick and why?

Panama or Belize by 7obra..

I haven't been to Panama, but I can speak for a friend who was there, and he didn't really care for it much. He likes the slow pace of Belize, and Panama is much like the USA. My biggest draw back, is they don't speak much English there and I speak ... Read More
