Twenty somethings moving to Panama

19 years ago

There is a lot of information out there for retiree expats but I have not found much for young people interested in moving to Panama.

My husband and I are 27 and we want to move to Panama City in 12-14 months once we have paid off debt and saved some $ for living expenses down there (plus U.S. student loans).

Since we are not retiring we are going to look for work while we are down there. We really have no idea where to start. I work at a non-profit and my husband is a lawyer. Is it difficult to find employment? Are there opportunities other than teaching English (i have taught English in Chile).

We are also going to use it as an opportunity to improve our Spanish. Can you recommend some Spanish tutors or institutes that are inexpensive?

Apartment prices in Panama city? My brother in law is living there now and pays $300 for a furnished 1 bedroom but it's on super loud Via Argentina. Can we find something nice in a nice neighborhood for $500 or less? Would you reccommend a furnished or unfurnished apt? I would rather decorate myself but is that going to cost a fortune?

Thanks for reading :) I hope you have some insight for us!
