Just got offered a job in Panama

I'd be doing the same thing I'm doing now...mostly agricultural work. Some eco-tourism guiding, and maybe some work on sailboat crews.
Frankly, it's tempting. I could hire a manager to take care of the property while I'm gone, so I'm not too worried about my business.
What OT ballers have been to Panama? I've never been, so I'd like to hear some experiences.

went through there on a tanker back in the early 60's - all I can provide - congrats on the possible employment there.

Are you talking about growing weed?

At 2:25am?! Well shite
I've never been, but it seems like a beautiful place. If you could make an easy transition back to civilization then I don't see why you shouldn't seriously consider the move.

Got a buddy that lives on a boat in the San Blas Islands. Seems like a relaxing lifestyle down there.

I have been to 40+ countries, Panama is what I always recommend to people who want to stay on this side of the Atlantic. It really is a hidden gem. There are not as many guide books out on it, so not as many people go.
It is relatively cheap, that first pic posted looks like San blas. You need to spend a night on one of those islands. The coke boats run through there on their way north.

Panama sucks, especially the carribean side. Seems like a waste of time to go down there and work in the tourism industry as a guide. If you want adventure and don't need money, go try it out. You will get tired of it and leave within a year, though. I've seen this play out over and over again with people moving to panama.

I worked for a guy who visited Panama every year on vacation. After retirement he would visit and stay for months at a time. He and his family also started to welcome exchange students to their home here in between those visits.

I've listened to the Van Halen song before. It was pretty good at first, but got old quickly. Not sure if that helps you.

FYI, the large numbers of foreigners, especially retirees, migrating to this country over the past decade has resulted in a backlog at the Department of Immigration, which causes months of delays getting your visa processed and approved.
A new visa option created by Executive Decree in 2012, offers a shortcut. This “Friends of Panama” visa, as it’s referred to, can be processed in weeks instead of months and can even result in a work permit.

This includes:

- all meals / stay on the mothership “Cebaco Bay” --you’ll be in shared quarters
- customized service — you guys will be the only ones there so the five guys running the ops will be at your beckon call.
- pay as you go on the hard liquor - sodas, water, and beer while fishing are included.
- transport to/from hotel to port (three hour drive) fishing trip time will start once you arrive at port. (Pick up at airport to hotel they can be set up for you.)

I would be gone in a heartbeat. The cost of living there is about what it was here in the 50's!
