EXPAT LIVING IN PANAMA CITY, PANAMA

¡Hola! I'm Freya, an empty-nester and adventurer who decided I needed a take two in life after my kids went to college in the US. I started the process of moving to Panama City, Panama 2 years ago and am loving it here. I wanted to share my tips, thoughts and process before, during and after my move to help you make the most of your expat experience.

Did you know that Boquete produces some of the wor

Did you know that Boquete produces some of the world’s most expensive coffee beans, with Geisha coffee setting a record for selling at $4,588 per pound? Nestled in Panama’s western highlands at 3,900 feet above sea level, this enchanting mountain town has become a haven for adventure seekers and retirees alike. Get ready to experience wonderful spring-like weather year-round while exploring cloud forests, coffee plantations, and lost waterfalls. In this guide, I’ll show you how to spend 3 days in Boquete, Panama and make sure you get the best bang for your buck. To read more, go to the link in my bio.

Fiestas Patrias in Panamá are a beautiful celebra

Fiestas Patrias in Panamá are a beautiful celebration of Panamá’s past, rich traditions and cultural diversity. Student bands, folkloric organizations and community officials came together today in Casco Viejo to celebrate Panama’s separation from Colombia in 1903. ¡Feliz Día de la Independencia!

Panamá is a small country full of endless adventu

Panamá is a small country full of endless adventures. From the UNESCO World Heritage Site that is Casco Viejo to the beaches of Bocas del Toro and everywhere in between, Panamá exudes natural beauty and fascinating history. In my latest post, I have created an 8-day itinerary based on my first visit to this land I now call home.

Escudo de Veraguas is a tropical paradise and biod

Escudo de Veraguas is a tropical paradise and biodiversity hotspot in Bocas del Toro, Panamá. Over the millennia, this tiny island broke away and reattached to the mainland many times. As a result, Escudo is home to many species and subspecies that can only be found here, like the Pygmy three-toed sloth. The landscapes are unreal. The snorkeling is epic and the wildlife is one of a kind. It is a dream destination.

One night in the depths of another internet rabbit

One night in the depths of another internet rabbit hole, I stumbled upon this not-so-typical tour that I’ve been wanting to check out for quite a while now. Just steps beyond the bougie cafes and rooftops of historic Casco Viejo lies El Chorrillo, the barrio that gave Panama so many of her most famous–if not notorious–native sons. Boxer Roberto Duran, salsero Ruben Blades and dictator Manuel Noriega all hail from the area. Victor Peretz of Local in PTY, guided me through the “red zone” painting a fascinating picture of the neighborhood’s history from immigrants who came from afar to work on the Panama Canal to its current day residents who strive to follow in the footsteps of those greats who came before them.

This made me very happy to see. Unfortunately, there are way too many dogs and cats living on the streets here in Panamá: in part due to lack of resources and cultural perspectives I suspect. Stumbling across this free spay and neuter day in Bocas del Toro was a very good thing. The Vetscursion volunteers came from different parts of the US to help communities and pets in need. ¡Muchísimas gracias!💓😻💓

I just made my fifth visit to Bocas del Toro this

I just made my fifth visit to Bocas del Toro this past weekend. Every time I go back, I find something new and amazing to do as well as more reasons to return. Apart from the good company, the highlight of my visit was the bioluminescence tour that takes place one week per month--a little before and after the new moon. In a word, it was mind-blowing. I could have stayed for hours.
If you need reasons to visit Bocas, here are a few of my favorites: Starfish Beach, organic cacao farming, snorkeling, a chill vibe and the best wildlife sightings. To read more:

When it comes to mountain getaways, El Valle de An

When it comes to mountain getaways, El Valle de Anton packs quite the punch with something for everyone: beautiful scenery, a butterfly haven, waterfalls. local crafts and more. This little town lies at the bottom of an extinct volcano crater. Surrounded by sharp ridges and rolling hills, El Valle is home to some of my favorite hikes and waterfalls in Panama. There is also great shopping at the market in the center of town where locals offer beautiful baskets, molas, and tropical plants at amazing prices. If you're looking to get out of PTY for a day or two, El Valle de Anton gets my vote.

*La India Dormida is a stunning two hour that culminates in epic panoramic views.
*Butterfly Haven is a maze of tropical plants and trees that is home to over 1,000 butterflies endemic to Panama.
*The market in town is a great place to pick up crafts made by local artisans at phenomenal prices.
*My not so secret obsession are the plants for sale in the market. They are to die for.
*My favorite spot to stay is Casa India Dormida located just steps away from the trailhead.
*Cerro La Silla is not just a gorgeous hike right outside of town, it's an easy one. The views are just incredible.
*Wander the trail at Chorro Macho waterfall.
*El Valle de Anton is a birder's paradise, so bring your binoculars and your checklist.
*The Orchid Center is home to countless species of this iconic tropical flower.

Every town has its best kept secrets and I think this is one of PTY’s best: La Rana Dorada and Pedro Mandinga Brewery and Distillery tour located in Tumba Muerto. Visit the home of the city’s most popular artisanal beers and rums and go home with your favorite drinks for later.
