My expat journey

Boquete, Panama

Since Aug 2014

Boquete, Panama

I am enjoying the beautiful and wonderful environment of Boquete. I love the rhythm and pace of life here. It is so relaxing and refreshing. The people, both expats and Panamanians are so helpful and nice. My first project is to settle into a new house in a new sub-division in Alto Boquete. My next project will be to plant a vegetable garden and a herbal garden, while also learning Spanish. I have also offered to do volunteer work at the local social services office here in Boguete.
I am a retired Psychotherapist
I love everything about Boquete. The beautiful environment, the climate and weather, the friendly, gracious, and diverse people, the culture and customs, the foods, the low cost of living, the relaxed atmosphere, rhythm and slow pace of life.
Not being able to buy a bus ticket or catch a bus at the Tucumen International Airport in Panam City, and the long seven hour bus ride from Albrook Bus Terminal to David, are the only things that I don't like about Panama, so far.

I attended the Lake Chiemsee Sailing Academy in Bavaria. Lake Chiemsee (also called the Bavarian Sea!) is a popular location for sailing and surfing, with usually very good wind conditions.

I liked the different cultures, customs, and foods of the different regions of the country. Germany is a very clean and beautiful country. I enjoyed the freedom and opportunity to freely move around the country and the ease to visit neighboring countries. The people were wonderful and the women were very beautiful. Most of all I loved the beer.
I loved everything about the country.
