Episode 16: From Texas to Panama and a Surprising New Business

An Interview with Jackie Lange

Jackie Lange has lived in four countries, visited 26, and moved 22 times. She knows a lot about relocating — even relocating overseas.

Her most recent move was from Texas to Boquete, Panama, and she loves that she doesn’t need any heating or air conditioning there. (Boquete is in the mountains, so it’s cooler than the beach areas.)

She planned to retire in Panama, but an unexpected business opportunity dropped into her lap, and she decided to run with it.

I met her when I also lived in Panama, in Las Tablas.

Jackie’s got an interesting story, and, if you’re considering a move to Panama, she can help you figure out where in the country you’d be happiest.
