Hey. How is for an European to move to Panama? I speak English and Spanish . My dream is to move there but I don't know how to apply for jobs. You have some links of jobs or something like that to help me ? thx a lot in advance .
Just back from Panama City. (Obarrio - near the area of this video). Uber works well, and not expensive. Food prices vary from not so expensive to over the top. We felt safe - and welcome. Panamá es un gran lugar, and you can use English in most cases.
I work for a company that employs mostly Panamanians because they get paid significantly less than us in the US. I was surprised to hear their prices aren’t too far off from us here in America.
I look forward to this walk in March too as I'll be in Panama however, why would you tag Cali as 'stressful'? Since it's part of my itinerary, any heads up would be appreciated! :)
@@richardwambua254 I've got one month left in Cali, before I move to Ciudad de Panama. Not only is Cali stressful, but it becomes more VIOLENT each day.
I lived there from March 1984 - March 1986 in the U.S. Army on Ft. Kobbe. I am going to make a visit this year and I appreciate your video and insight. Thanks!
We took a trip to panama city for 9 days around 8 years ago. I'm not sure what it's like now. Regarding the prices, he's pretty on point. We stayed in the middle of panama city and spent a few days way outside of it. We went to a few nicer restaurants in Panama city and they were pretty sub par. Casco Viejo (the old city) is pretty much like the hipster part of town. A bunch of people bought out the cheap part of town and turned it into bars and restaurants. It's actually pretty nice. You get to see the old architecture while drinking in house made IPA beers and decent food. Very chill place, people are nice. Didn't feel dangerous.
Sly bro! You’re the man! It’s like you knew exactly what I would ask and you gave all the answers. I’ll be traveling to Brazil 🇧🇷 again as I do every year and on my way back I will be stopping Panamá City Panamá 🇵🇦 and stay for a while so thank you so much my friend! You’re awesome and I love your very informative and helpful videos! I am one of your loyal subscribers 🤙🏽 God bless my friend 🙏
Man when it rains it's no joke! You will see rivers flowing down the street lol I remember coming back from the canal it was sunny and beautiful. By the time I got off of the elevator at the apartment it was absolutely pouring! Be prepared for all weather in Panama! Also if your wearing shorts all of the time they know your a gringo lol. So move accordingly.
That's true, even in Panama wheater have high humity, sunny and 30 to 35 celcius, panamanians usually wear jeans(yes I know sounds crazy), specially in the city because work or one of the reason is that goverment buildings did not allow shorts in 90's until today(yes sounds stupid but It's what it is) , so I guess it's become in a some kind of common tradition with pass of decades (tourists don't worry about that). Usually we wear shorts for trecking, walking, trips to mountains, beaches, rivers, etc), sports and home. Specially on weekends.
Just an FYI, Dont walk around with nice watches, you will get robbed anywhere, the odds are low but they do not discriminate on location, you are just putting a target on yourself, also nice cars stand out here more than anything, so if you are driving a nice car, do not park in shady area or places that dont have alot of foot trafic, Panama is very safe, but if you go around flashing nice stuff you will just temp people to do things.
Inflation is killing my budget and my salary, I can't invest and it seems like I will need to sell a part of my stock portfolio to keep my head above the water this time.

Panama City was a lot cheaper when I was there in 2003. I was staying at Hotel Marbella for $27 a night and I could get a hamburger and soda combo for $1. From what I've heard, it's gotten more expensive since then. I didn't get to visit nearby Colón, but I met some white Mormon dudes who had served their 2-year mission there and they said they had no problems.
Bro that was nineteen almost twenty years ago, ofcourse its going to be more expensive. Things get more expensive over time, after three years anywhere on the planet prices will be higher
They say that the USA exports its inflation due to being world reserve currency. But then again, printing all that ronarona money didn't help either! That's probably the main source and reason why.
This was really helpful. I’m excited to hear there’s a rainforest within city limits. I love to hike and I love living near water and the thought that I can have both while staying in PC is exciting.
@@sheiladoeman8053 I stayed at the Aloft, and it was around $82 a night. Its near the Multiplaza Mall which was a good place to hangout. I highly recommend it!
Panama is blazing hot all year.and yes it pours.US Dollar is the money.Balboa is the Spanish name for US Dollar.the coin in the left is nicknamed Martinelli.
As Panamanian I agree 100%. Glad you enjoy your staying here. Muchas bendiciones y espero regreses pronto. 😘💕🇵🇦

I love Panamá so much, the caribbean side is beautiful too.
Great job. Especially with the outlet and chargers. As a Black Woman I got to be able to plug in my curling irons and etc.😅😅😅
Just came back this week from Vacation there. Beautiful place: the people and food are amazing.
I agree with you. The prices are high compared to when I was living there as a child. Enjoy and Thanks!
Took that exact walk today! Spot on as always, Sly. Feels good to be here instead of stressed out Cali 🍻
I look forward to this walk in March too as I'll be in Panama however, why would you tag Cali as 'stressful'? Since it's part of my itinerary, any heads up would be appreciated! :)

I loved Panama - the metro/subway is very nice! Super new and clean. I could easily live there!
Extraño mi patria! Panama 🇵🇦
I like Sly's videos. They are straight and to the point and he knows what he is talking about. Thanks for the info on Panama.

Fort Kobee, was by Pacific Ocean, after crossing the Las Americas Bridge from Panama City. Near by the Radio Station. Near by Diablo
SCN Radio Station near by
I was stationed @ Howard AFB '90-94.
This was very helpful. We just returned from Panama City. Your video was on point

In Panama now. Such an accurate and comprehensive video.

Great job! Was on the Panama Canal cruise and took a city tour. It was nice to revisit virtually.
Was there in 2018, will come again in 2022. Great city.

That`s a good fact to know. I wear shorts only............

@@edgardomunoz2688 young Panamanians, under 30, wear shorts outside of work. Older Panamanians are the ones you'll see wearing long pants.
So true. We are used to the weather that's why we were long pants, blazers, sweaters, etc...besides is pretty freezing in some places with a/c.
@@guillermogouldburn763 yes that's right. I hope in the next years shorts pants became normal on all places, like Australia, Florida or California.
What a gorgeous city ❤
Wow. Beautiful panama. Would like to travel here one day
Thank you so much! We were looking to go to Panama 🇵🇦 for Springbreak
Yes, very safe! The people are very friendly. The groceries I noticed were on the high side compared to the United States.
Panama city Panama seems like a secret paradise
Unfortunately if you look at the photos recently on Google maps, looks like there's a ton of garbage all over the beaches...
I Agree with You...thanks to be in 🇵🇦Blessing💯..

Really like the quality of your videos both day and night. What kind of camera do you use?
Yeah, right?!! Which camera is that, Sly?
A good one. Duh ?

@@sakhill10 There's a lot around crypto and the economics at large; you must learn to buy high in other to sell low, or buy low in order to sell high.

20 years is a long time, inflation happens.

Ive seenhamburgers for 18.00 in Panama, not a cheap destinatiom anymore
the entire skyline looks different now. the city is safer and much more advanced
@@CRAPO2011 nope. only uber is cheap. 3 bucks for a 15 minute ride
thanks bro. my mom was born here, but I was born in America and was researching vitsiting the motherland.
I first travel to Panama in the 80s for several months I have a friend that live in Bocas
Wow I am impressed. I'd rather go here than Mexico
Panama City looks beautiful
Panamá cost of living is great not to forget that has a little bit of other countries in the world 🌎
4:56 she was giving you the eye, bro.
Thank you for the info, I am planning a trip there this year
Live here and personally love and prefer rainy season 🌧
Also, prices have gone up a lot just over the last two years.
They say that the USA exports its inflation due to being world reserve currency.

The balboa is used to circulate in the country's economy with less deterioration than paper money
Plus the govt made a profit when they minted it.
Which is GOOD to have a government smart enough to do that!!!!

My Question, why is it that almost every vehicle that park in the area, something appear as concrete block has to be put behind the wheel ?
Good video. Very helpful. I am coming there for a 10 day lookaround in late February. What does 'deuces' mean?
It's like "see you later" I think.
With use the word alot in the military. Deuces.
Thank you so much
