LIVING in PANAMÁ
March 2021 we decided, we are going to emigrate!
But where to start? My next few months were all about packing our personal belongings and looking on the internet for people who could help us once we got there. Finding groups on facebook and instagram. Making connections.
Through these groups I got in touch with a Panamanian in the Netherlands who had a cousin in Panama who had a fellow student was a lawyer. Through that lawyer we started arranging our visa. In Panamá everything consists of knowing the right people and building connections. Our path to a permanent visa went fairly smoothly. Unfortunately we now know so many other stories where such a process does not go well. Where people spend a lot of time and often a lot of money only to get nowhere.
How nice is it when you arrive in a foreign country, where sometimes you don’t speak the language, you often don’t know the culture, that there is someone to assist you. Who you can ask all your questions. My goal in life is helping people, so that’s what I started to do. I set up my own business and got started.
Bringing people together, guiding the processes and bringing them to completion is what I get to do with great pleasure. If we can help you in any way, please let us know by sending us a message through Whatsapp or click here for the contactpage.

Tourism ~ About and around the beautiful Panamá
In November 2021 we took an Uber to I cannot remember where! The Uber-driver could speak English. Not knowing much to say in Spanish we were very happy that we now could at least talk a bit with this driver. He could give some answers on how specific things work the way they do in this country. He was super nice and so helpfull and we exchanged phonenumbers. In the next couple of months we got in contact with him several times and he helped us anyway he could. His way of thinking, helping others, is in his culture and is definately my cup of tea. A friendship was born. Apart from Uber driving (which gave him a bit more income to spend on his children) he also is an amazing tourguide. Coming from Chiriqui, he is so proud and wants nothing more then make other people even fond of the beautiful nature that his country has to offer.
Last year we got together and thought about the possibility of working with eachother. Me being the person that also wants to help others, decided to make a website where all his tours are displayed so that he will stand out more and will be able to do more of what he loves to do in life. Helping others in exploring the culture and nature of Panamá.
