Hello everyone,
Did you make any mistakes when you first moved to Panama? What were they?
How did you address your mistakes? Did you learn anything from them?
With hindsight, what would you do differently?
Are there any tips you could give future expats in Panama to help them avoid these kinds of mistakes?
We look forward to hearing from you!

I should have sold my car and bought one down here. They soaked me 3500 for an older car, based on the NEW price.

I am still on planning phase, but been Brazilian and living in NYC for the past 26 yrs! I wonder, should I go to Panama or Brazil for retirement?
I will live my son in USA as he is an american born, he will b out of college and working when I move. So Panama has a 1 advantage being closer to the USA.
Anything else?
Thanks.
Luiz
