The Rest of BEAUTIFUL PANAMA Is About Our Experience in Panama

We invite you to explore Beautiful Panama with us!  People always have lots of questions about life in Panama, so I've put together a lot of resources, information, links, and some "Letters From Panama" about our  experiences.  Enjoy! 

We've got resources, links, stories about our adventures . . . information on on real estate and much much more.  You'll discover how coffee is grown and processed from our Boquete coffee farm.

You'll also find information about the new edition of my ebook ESCAPE TO PANAMA.   It's what you need to know about moving to Panama . . . or thinking of retiring abroad to any place else.  It's the complete story of how we did what we thought was impossible!  How we did the research, made the decision . . . the planning, the process . . . the expected and unexpected.

 I only wish I had all this information available when we were shopping for a country, looking for a way to escape, and trying to imagine if it were possible!

The Fort Lauderdale, FL SUN-SENTINEL had an article (September 23, 2007), "Panama Booms As A Retirement Hot Spot", on Boquete which quoted me, and, better yet, the video featured my wife, Nikki Steele. 

"I miss the ocean. I miss Home Depot dearly, and I miss Costco, but I don't miss the crime, the traffic and the hassle," said Richard Detrich, 65, who left pricey Ventura, Calif., three years ago with his wife, Nicola, 58, to retire and stretch his income in lower-cost Boquete. "And we have friends here, real friends, not just business and professional relationships."
