  • When Bob decided to move to Panama, he was looking for an affordable place to live that was rich in Panamanian culture. He found exactly what he was looking for in CHITRE!
    Chitre has nice grocery stores, hospitals, doctors, dentists, pharmacies, a small mall, great restaurants, and an airport. It's only a 10 minute drive to a beach! Chitre has everything you need!
    In this video, Bob shares a lot of information about the cost of living in Chitre.

    Jackie, this is without a doubt, the best interview about an older person (like me!) living and surviving and enjoying Panama. I would love to write him and met him on my next trip, now that the protests have settled and the road to/from PTY won't be blocked!!! Chuck

I did the tour in 2021 and since then got a big discouraged watching other videos saying things were so much more expensive... I have researched so many places and Panama keeps coming back as number 1. This gives me hope. Does Bob have an email? I would love to ask him some questions about living in Chitre.

I was thinking that I could not afford Panama because when I visited Panama City last year all the rentals they showed were very expensive. I'd love to have an affordable (under $500) little house for me and my 2 cats. Ill only have SS income.
    I'm going to take Jackie's Tour soon. Any specials coming up? 😆

    • @PanamaRelocationTours
      @PanamaRelocationTours  Před 7 měsíci +1

      There are rentals for $500 or less in Panama. Not in Panama City or Coronado. But they are available in other areas. We've love to show you have amazing life is in Panama during a Panama Relocation Tour! (sorry, no tour specials)
