We’re Ready for Visitors!

We’re Ready for Visitors!

We’re finally ready for house guests, or at least as ready as we’ll ever be!

The big projects around the house are complete, and we’ve settled comfortably into life here in Panama. Sure, there are still a few small things we’re tinkering with, but there’s no rush to finish them all.

We know that traveling down here isn’t easy. It takes both time and money, so we don’t expect a crowd at the door. But for those of you who have been thinking about a visit, the welcome mat is officially out. There will always be a few last-minute details to work out, but overall, we’re prepared to host.

To our friends, family, and former co-workers: if a trip to Panama is something you’d like to experience, just reach out. We’d love to help make it happen.

reply: We are open to most guests. We do need to be careful about "earning money" as we are on a retirement visa which has strict limits on working in the country. We aren't totally sure how a paid guest would be treated in this regard. But one thing we have been considering is to allow visitors that are looking for the "remote island" experience so they can see if it is really a life they would enjoy. We didn't have that so we jumped blindly, assuming we would love it. Good thing we assumed correctly. But some people think they want to live remote but then find out it is not for them. So we think offering that "preview" experience could be valuable. We aren't 100% sure what having guests would be like for us so at this point, it is all "play it by ear".
