Why Panama?
10 Reasons You’ll Love Living Here:
1. Two Oceans. One Weekend.
You can swim in the Pacific and the Caribbean in the same weekend. Beach trips become normal life, not once-a-year vacations.
2. Year-Round Summer.
No snow days. No scraping ice off your windshield. Just sunshine, palm trees, and outdoor living all year long. Okay, we do get rain. And when it rains, it pours.
3. A Global Hub.
Direct flights to major U.S. cities make visiting family simple. Panama connects North and South America and feels internationally alive.
4. Modern + Tropical.
Think Miami skyline meets rainforest adventure. Panama City offers modern convenience with wild beauty just minutes away.
5. Cost of Living That Works.
Dining out, fresh fruit, travel, and everyday life can be more affordable than in many major U.S. cities.
6. Culture That Feels Alive.
Festivals, music, coffee culture, fresh markets, and vibrant community life make daily living rich and relational.
7. Spanish Without the Pressure.
You can live comfortably in English while gradually learning Spanish at your own pace.
8. Stable and U.S.-Friendly.
Panama uses the U.S. dollar, has strong ties to the United States, and offers stability that makes international living easier.
9. A Fresh Start.
Whether you're coming from teaching burnout, political pressure, or overcrowded classrooms, Panama offers a chance to reset and rediscover why you started teaching in the first place. And here, you don’t have to hide your faith — you get to model it, teach it, and share it openly with your students.
10. You’re at the Crossroads.
Living in Panama means you’re positioned in the heart of Latin America — teaching, serving, and impacting students from around the world.
