I moved to Panama in April of 2003. This is the second time I have established a website for the purpose of recording my experiences while living as a pensionado/retiree in this beautiful country. My first experiences were in Boquete and I have since moved to the city of David in the province of Chiriqui.
Chiriquí Chatter is written in a journal format. It has items that I am interested in which include hobbies, items related to the Chiriquí Province, or maybe just something I want to comment on. This site is my personal website and has no financial ties or alignments with any business. It is free of advertisements and contains no links to sites that are profit motivated and intended to sell to prospects moving to Panama. If you find any link that has become a dead link, I would appreciate it if you would let me know and I will correct it.
Any businesses that I recommend are because I have used them and found them to be trustworthy and fair in their business practices. If my personal experience, with any business that I have written favorable articles about, changes then the new experience will be reflected.
As I said before, I put this site up for my pleasure and it enables me to keep my finger in a little technology as well as allowing me to record my experiences in Panama. However, I also hope that it will provide some value and possibly some enjoyment to others that are considering Panama as a retirement option. I am not a journalist or a writer, so if you find the style that of a country boy, then my roots have been revealed.
Thanks for taking the time to look around and I hope you enjoy yourself.
