Following the US economic meltdown of 2008, we realized we could no longer afford to live in the US. After researching possible low-budget destinations, we shortened our list and we are now trying out life in the town of Las Tablas, Panama. I'm a writer, so I can work as long as I have internet. My husband is "retired," but looking for something worthwhile to do. I arrived in Las Tablas in March, 2012, and my husband and our three dogs followed in April. I write about expatriation at http://FutureExpats.com, focusing on three main subject areas: Portable Careers, Preparing for an Overseas Move and our own experiences here in Panama.
I joined expat.com on 13 April 2009.
