Drawbacks and challenges from Southern California
Hello! My dad and his spouse went to a conference for international living in March and fell in love with Panama… so much so, that they decided they want to relocate there from Orange County, California within the next year or so. I believe they are closing on a property in August, some condo in a high rise.
My dad is 77yo. He is a plastic surgeon and will be closing down his practice to make the move and “retire.”
I’m a little concerned that he was shown the best of the best in Panama and made his decision off that. He was saying the rainy season “isn’t bad,” and that it only rains for a few hours a day, leaving the rest of the day in sunshine. He said he really didn’t see a downside of relocating, other than being further away from his children…
Please share some of your honest experiences, I’d love any info about what has or still surprises you… whether it be about food, transportation, weather, money, activities etc.
Thank you!!
