Thank you so much!

@@veegood6404 it truly is ☺️🌺🌿🦋Especially with all this rain!!!

Oh that must have been cool 🦋 I had just moved to Panama, July 2019 and was in Gorgona.

@@tarasturntable6583 Thank you so much! There’s a before and after video you might like on the house renovation - took 8 months and was a huge project 🙀

@@Pattybluehayes will definitely check it out!

@@amarie3309 Panama is affordable for many people. I do think in many areas of Panama you get more for your money in Panama, both with renting and buying compared to some cities/suburbs in the US.

@@VDD-2766 I’ve never seen that here - I don’t even think you could build for 40 thousand if you already owned land 😔

@@Pattybluehayes Lol, thanks. Maybe I exaggerated a bit. But I’m looking for a place retire that is affordable and I can live in part time.

@@VDD-2766 That you can find ☺️☺️

@@JG-iq8hn Not here in El Valle but there are in Boquete which is also cooler.

@@terianderson9959 I’m so sorry you have Covid 😥 Rest and hydrate 🙏

@@Pattybluehayes Thank you. I will. They gave me these newer pills called Paxlovid. I'm doing a bit better, so pills working. I found out it's spread to most states.

@@ddunn3489 Oh noooooo 😟 That’s awful. I don’t suppose you were able to get it back?

Yep it was awful. OCT 1ST 1979 Jimmy Carter gave the Canal Zone away...all us Zonians cried. ​@Pattybluehayes

@@ddunn3489 🇵🇦 Well, it was Panama’s territory but I can see how disappointing that would be.

@@alfenito He likes to keep a low profile 😆

@@candlesoftheearthbestcandl995 I bought and renovated a house and built a casita that I have on Airbnb. Casa de Bambú y Luna ☺️

@@SlickSydney I feel very safe in El Valle. There’s petty theft, occasional violent crime, but in general, very safe.

Safer than high income areas around Los Angeles, California.

@@mtngrl5859 Yes, really nice lot with the little pond in the corner. Plenty of room to plant 😆

And it's been on the market for over 3yrs.

@@alfenito Yes, I think the starting asking price was $800k.

@@thenarrowpathoftruth9443 I guess so!

@@thenarrowpathoftruth9443 Thanks so much. I tried to cover things that I couldn’t find when I first moved.

Thanks! And I must have a few doppelgängers out there 😁

@@Pattybluehayes I have a question and you seem to have the "personality style" of someone likely to know -- can I ship my household goods in a shipping container to panama in a move - I have many, many important non-fiction books which I would really prefer NOT to leave behind. Also, can a ship a motorcycle or small car in a shipping container to Panama or other South American country? Thanks

@@thenarrowpathoftruth9443 You can ship your belongings but paper books don’t do well here in the humidity 😔 Importing a car can be costly.

@@Pattybluehayes Do you know the humidity % average? It can be high in the Southern state where I live also. We try to use dehumidifiers and a/c. Maybe not available there? Is all of Panama humid? Do you know if any part of Chile might be better? I hear some of Agentina can be pretty dry but I'm not sure I want to live there.

@@thenarrowpathoftruth9443 Rainy Season (May to November) there is high humidity ranging between 80% to 90%. The heavy rains and frequent cloud cover contribute to these elevated humidity levels, making the atmosphere feel very moist and tropical. Dry Season (December to April) the humidity levels are slightly lower during the dry season, typically ranging between 70% to 80%. While it’s still humid, the reduced rainfall and clearer skies make the air feel less oppressive compared to the rainy season. And of course, it depends on specific locations within Panama, such as coastal areas versus higher elevations like those found in the interior or mountain regions.

Boy ol boy...I hate to poop on your parade ...But...600,000 k home does not really express why people are rushing to Panama. Maybe I'm wrong!!! People are tired of the high cost of living and afraid their retirement will be heading to substandard of living. If moving to Panama is to showboat who has money and who don't, well then do it in the country you came from. Making money with RUclips should be about what to expect moving to a different country and how to have a smooth transition. You just lost one viewer. Sorry!!

@@milesmichael9034 Sorry you didn’t like the video. People from a wide range of financial means consider owning property or getting residency here in Panama.

@@susanrice3033 It’s a beautiful house, I love the two fireplaces. But I don’t know how firewood truly cures here, it’s do damp!!!

@Pattybluehayes How stupid of me...your the kind that has money and was not able to be more noticeable back home. Keep your priorities straight and call a spade a spade .

@@milesmichael9034 Michael, El Valle is not a budget locale. If you look at all of Patty's videos, it took her 2 years to find her perfect place. Then she worked on it for quite awhile, so it can be done. I was just looking at 5 bedroom home with a swimming in Doral, Fl and it was listed for 1.1 million. If it had been listed in my area of California it would go for 2.4 million & in Coronado, Panama for about $450k. So, affordability is a sliding scale. There are many areas in Panama that one can find homes under 125k, so it depends. Not everyone who moves to Panama buys real estate, many live on social security or whatever pension and get by. I've seen cute places for under $500/month for a single person or a couple. So, even if one has a modest pension one can find a place.

@@chantalrochon3566 So glad you liked it!

@@MariaRodriguez-wz6qm It is beautiful, well-designed. And yes, priced to sell for sure.

@@MariaRodriguez-wz6qm I’m glad you liked the walk through and neighborhood tour ☺️

@@mateoneedham6807 Oh cool ☺️ That patio is the place I’d spend my time, overlooking the garden 🌸✨🌺

@@beverlyroach9482 At the entrance to Gaital neighborhood?

@@keishaturner6908 Thanks. It all worked out. But it is stuff that goes on. When the funds are there, I have a lot of finishing up projects and back up power is one of them!

@@realestate-costarica Yes! Dodging raindrops 😆💦

@@seizeself-loveself-care9869 I’m glad I could help a fellow introvert ☺️💛 Good luck with your move!

So great to hear from a fellow introvert / loner!! And now Patty too! I have lived in Panama for 5 years and love it. For sure there are challenges but that's life, wherever. Patty, I would Love to live on the outskirts of El Valle (about 10 minutes down the road) in a rural area in a quiet little rental with my dogs. Sadly, I am not in a position to buy a place (The South African currency doesn't go very far .... think 20 to the US$!!). If you hear of anything, preferred Unfurnished, please drop me a Messenger message. Muchas gracias amiga. 🙏🌻

​@@Pattybluehayes❤

@@joysachs9032 I’ll keep an ear open ☺️

@@Pattybluehayes gracias.

@@nrassm Glad you enjoyed it! When I have the funds, I’m definitely getting a power back up.

@@stahshakay8103 Oh nice - you’ll have to go visit them ☺️

@@Pattybluehayesyes that’s definitely the plan!

@@nancypicchi9224 the leak is back 😫

@@Nadynade Oh good 🦋🌺🌟🌿☺️

@@sammatthews8571 Glad you enjoyed it.

@@ourblazingworld 😆😆 yes, getting lifed. I’ll look into ecoflow, don’t know what that is.

@@terianderson9959 Well I hope you enjoyed this virtual hike ☺️ no bugs!

Yes I sure did. 😊

@@timothyvaldes9843 It’s on my list when I have the funds 🙏

@@chantalrochon3566 It’s amazing there 💛

@@chantalrochon3566 Yes, you pass the chicken farms and come to the Y in the road, go to the right. Then at the next spot where there are a few buildings, a right again ☺️

Very nice music while hiking enjoying the view💫💚✨

Why did God create mosquitoes at such an idyllic spot?!

@@lyric8006 😆😆😆 So true.

@@beverlyroach9482 Wow! That must have been amazing growing up here 💛 I love the frog sounds, bird calls and I’m learning the monkey chatter. I’ve seen monkeys 3 times in the past month 🙏 I have not planted lemongrass yet. I will look for it.

@@Pattybluehayes I have written about my early life in El Valle. I can email to you, if interested.

@@ryszardniscior2231 Glad you enjoyed. Hope you like Panama as much as I do.

@@ProdSangreNueva Thanks🙌

@@sammatthews8571 Golden Frog is lovely. And great nachos at the restaurant.

@@sammatthews8571 Thank you ☺️ Always learning!

Thanks so much!

@@junglejimbacktopanama3882 You’ll have a great time in Panama and in El Valle ☺️ thanks for the birthday wishes!

Thank you so much!!

@@camerandalili7489 Yes - here in El Valle there are many species. I see toucans, tanagers, woodrails, oropendolas, chacalacas and many hummingbirds. A few weeks ago there were monkeys outside my bedroom window!
