Why Panama?

Panama regularly snags the #1 spot in International Living's Retirement Index thanks to its top-notch infrastructure, low cost of living, tropical climate, wide variety of options for where to live, and proximity to the U.S. Expats and digital nomads can choose to live along one of two coastlines, on myriad islands, in mountain villages, or in the heart of one of the world's most sophisticated and cosmopolitan cities. In addition to the lower costs of almost everything, from food to housing to medicine, you also won't lose a dime on the exchange rate — Panama's currency is the U.S. dollar. Healthcare here is fantastic and affordable, a big draw for retirees. Those who prefer peace and quiet or efficiency may need to adjust their expectations.
