Hope to be in Panama on May 26th

11 years ago
Hi--After reading everyone's posts on all sorts of topics, including all those who posted on my 'exploring with hopes to move' topic, I have decided to take a quick trip down. I'll arrive next Tuesday in San Isidro, C.R. to visit friends and then I'll head over to Panama. I've discerned, from various posts, that the key towns for me to visit (a few which I've been to before) as I consider where to move would be Volcan, David, Boquete, El Valle, and Panama City. I'm hoping that perhaps I'll be able to find a few language schools or private schools which may have openings for an English (TEFL) teacher (I have a teaching degree plus a TEFL certificate), or maybe a completely different kind of job (either part or full time). My main desire is to live within a community that is a mix of the local population and some expats as well, with, as mentioned in an earlier post of mine, opportunities to volunteer. So, if any of you are in any of the towns I've mentioned or have other suggestions to add to my list, please let me know. I have to depart Panama City on June 5th, so that gives me about 9 or 10 days to visit. I'll be traveling by bus. Thanks!
