5 Unexpected Benefits when You Join a Panama Relocation Tours Adventure

By

Despite previously living in Las Tablas, Panama for several years, I recently found myself on a Panama Relocation Tour. In late January, I flew to Panama because I decided I didn't want to deal with winter this year. I survived my arrival during the Papal visit and the World Youth Conference, and settled in at my home away from home in Guarare. I spent a couple of weeks enjoying the sun and the ocean (and wallowing in Vacation Brain, truth be told). On the 10th I met up with Jackie …

As An Anywhereist, You Can Choose Your Season

By

How would you like the option to choose your season where you spend your time? I'm doing that now. Last winter was a cold one here. I know, "cold" is relative, and in Central Florida it doesn't get that cold. But, after 30+ years living in tropical and sub-tropical climates, it felt darned cold to me. As the winter of 2017-2018 drew to a close, my husband and I had several conversations along the lines of, "let's not freeze next winter." Fortunately, because my work is totally …

Is a Relocation Tour Right for You?

By

There are lots of ways to travel. Some people travel fast -- and I'm not talking about fast jets. They cram as much as is humanly possible - sometimes more! - into the smallest time frame possible. These are the people who "do" Europe in 5 days. Heck, I can't even do Epcot in 5 days! Of course, the way you travel depends in part on the reason you're traveling. If you're a tourist on vacation, you'll travel differently than someone who's making a move to a new place. For example, when my husband …
