Welcome to Panama!

Panama certainly does have its share of problems, but it is probably one of the best countries in Latin America for those of us that are financially independent. Costa Rica has its charm, but shopping is way better in Panama.

I like Costa Rica a lot. They've done a much better job at making it easy for tourists to get around than Panama has. But yes, I think living in Panama is probably better.

I agree with your veiws, have similar goals, and admire your spirit. I will be following. Welcome to Steemit!

Thanks. Good luck with your journey as well.

welcome to steemit @choogirl, look forward of your post

Way to go! I was blessed to live in Panama as a child. However, I am so addicted to my western ways, I can only visit :) I do miss the seasons -- which one do you prefer? Wet or Hot? I miss mango tree the most though.

Thank you for reminding me of the Panamanian ex-pat that I met at the Watergate, in DC. He always had the best advice. I am going to have to dig through my notes.

Have fun in the sun for me.

Cool story. Yes, of course there are advantages in living in Western countries, I fully get that. Life is a bit different here for sure. But Panama - and Panama City in particular - has everything I need right now. And if it doesn't - there's Amazon!

Amen to Amazon! In the rain forest -- lol. Post lots of great cultural stories.

Nice intro and a big welcome!

Thank you!

Hi Anne-Marie, my name is Bill. I just joined as well. I admire your courage and recognition of the b.s. paradigm that people are forced into. I look forward to reading more from you. I think the next 6 months or so will be very interesting for all of us!

Hi Bill. Welcome to you too. Yes there seems to be more and more people rejecting the status quo, which is good I think. I am really looking forward to the next 6 months. For me at least, I think it's going to be great.

Hola Anne-Marie, welcome to Steem! :-)

Welcome to #Panama.
Welcome to #Steemit.
Cheers mate.

Welcome to Steemit! I am looking forward to hearing more about your journey. I upvoted and followed you, as well.

I am the same way. We are making the route and others are following it. We do not need to be slaves for much longer welcome to steemit!

I'm so excited for you on this new trek. I will be following you for sure.

backpacking for 12 months WOW RESPEKT Welcome to Steemit! @choogirl

Thanks. My trick was no debt and cutting out unnecessary expenses to save money. I didn't just go on whim and hope for the best (although there's nothing wrong with that).

Your big move is very inspiring. I will be interested to read your posts throughout your journey. I am yet to set foot in South America, but its on the list!

Hey ! @clevercreator told me to check you account :) , i'm living in Panama and i'm new on steem.

Cool! There're a few of us here. I've listed them in this post if you want to follow them: https://steemit.com/panama/@choogirl/my-thoughts-on-panama-s-first-official-steemit-meetup.
@codypanama is the only one who didn't make it that I also know of in Panama.

We should be doing more meetups so keep an eye out and you should come if you can.

Exciting life change for you @choogirl thanks for sharing and look forward to hearing more about it!

Ah you are my kind of person. Now I understand how you ended up in Panama. Nothing better than ridding material possessions (been there done that) and getting away from how you are supposed to live. Free wherever in the world that suits you. I much prefer Eastern Europe and Asia to the Western crap.

Well done chicka. Most would say it takes balls but it doesn't really. It's just being true to yourself.

I got no idea how cryto stuff works. To me all electricity could go out tomorrow. Or system shut down on purpose. Or a massive solar flare. It's something you can't hold in your hand no? If I'm wrong you can help me get my head around it. Right now it confuses me but open to it, gradually.
