AboutLorena Milanes Expertise I can answer questions regarding Panama, its people, culture, places to visit, places to watch out for, hotels to stay, how much your taxi fare should be... specific information on getting around on a safe manner.
Experience I was born and raised in Panama, educated in American schools. Since I enjoy all related to Panama history, I try to keep myself updated on local happenings in the subject. I also enjoy traveling and the internet seems a wonderful tool to use, specially when you are your own guide (which I usually am)- so I am just willing to give some of the help I have received back.

Question Lorena I am looking to retire and move to Panama probably during the first week of Feb 2008, I will have around $800 per month to spend for rent what sort of property can I expect for this. Can you please make some suggestions, I would prefer somewhere pretty and quite either within Panama city or close by - short taxi ride. Not far from a beach if possible.
thanks
David
Answer Hi David,
Due to the increase in the amount of people coming into Panama to buy property, prices have increased in a way I cannot describe. They have almost doubled and so has rent.
Are you thinking apartment or are you thinking of a house ?
Will you need one or more bedrooms?
In regards to the beach, are you thinking of it to look at it (sea view) or to bathe in it ? I am sorry if this sounds like an unusual question but it is important to know so I can suggest accordingly.
All the best,
Lorena
