Panama is thriving with new opportunities for those looking to live, work, and invest abroad. While modern infrastructure development has been a slow process in some areas for decades, progress has been accelerating each year.

In this episode, Matt interviews Anne-Michelle Wand, an American expat who has been living in Panama full-time for 15 years. During her time there, she has been providing consulting services to individuals relocating from the United States, guiding them through the challenges of uprooting their lives and establishing new roots in a foreign country.

Having spent years on Panama’s Caribbean coast in the town of Bocas del Toro, Anne-Michelle has observed a recurring issue—many aging adults eventually leaving due to a lack of resources for safe and comfortable senior living and elder care. With her background in real estate and private equity in the U.S., she sees a solution. She has begun developing plans for a new retirement community designed to provide the necessary support for older adults who wish to remain in the area.

In her conversation with Matt, they discuss what it takes to live outside of Panama City, examining the systems already in place and what still needs improvement. This episode offers a glimpse into the early stages of an exciting real estate development project—one that presents potential investment opportunities or even a future home for those considering a move.
