I am on a 5 year countdown until I make the big move to Chile. I need to work for 5 more years and get the last kid out of the house before I am FINALLY free to follow my dream. I'd leave now, but my ex won't let me take the kids out of the country. I lived in Panama many years ago for 3 years. My adult daughter visits Santiago often and has me completely sold on the idea of making the move. I plan on visiting next year to scope out potential living situations. So, I am on this board regularly just to see what's happening. Thanks to all who post up to date observations and information.
