About Us At Living In Panama


Our family has lived in Panama for over 13 years.
In that time we have learned a lot.

We have gained valuable insights which you can only get after living in an area for years.

And we are happy to share those insights with you.

We live in the beach town of Puerto Armuelles, Panama.
We love it here.

Puerto Armuelles is on the Pacific Ocean. It is in the popular Chiriqui Province. Surprisingly it is the only true beach town in Panama. Click to learn more about Puerto Armuelles. 

Property For Sale
We have not only lived here, we have invested here. And, I must admit, we have purchased some fabulous properties.

Come on down & visit Puerto Armuelles, Panama. You might love it here too. (FYI – I must update these photos! Skylar is now 18 and Blaise is almost 14)

Check our listing page here.

Keep in mind, we own all the properties we sell. We bought them because we personally like the properties. We are not real estate agents.

We are particularly fond of our properties at our Corazon de Oro development So much so that we have set aside one of the properties for ourselves.

Advice & Information

There are many reasons to buy from us. One that many people cite is that we won’t disappear after the sale.

We are always available to answer your questions, give advice, or steer you toward the resources you need.

Actually, whether you buy from us or not, we are always happy to answer your questions. The motivation for writing our blog, is just that, to help people navigate life in Panama.

Building a House

In the States, my husband Reyn had a successful design/build firm for many years.

Reyn loves to design homes. He is happy to point you to reputable builders and to discuss viable design options for your home.

In fact, he has designed what he thinks is the perfect house for tropical Panama. He calls it the Living in Panama House. Learn more about the here.

Check out our FAQ section. You will find a lot of information on house construction there. You will also discover tons of information on living in and moving to Panama.

Part-time Lifestyle

After living in Panama full-time for over 8 years, we now live between Seattle & Panama. At first we went back to take care of my aging mom. Then it was for our kids.

Blaise wants to be a professional ballerina. And Skylar has been bitten by the acting bug. Unfortunately, Puerto Armuelles does not offer them the opportunities they need. Thankfully, Skylar starts college in August. And Blaise isn’t too far behind. Although, her goal is to join a Ballet company by age 17, not go to college.

Once our kids are out of the house, we look forward to spending much more time in Puerto Armuelles. Oh, yeah.

If your next adventure is in Panama, we hope you have as much fun as we are having.
