    I have lived in Costa Rica and Panama. If I may take the liberty to share my experiences, and be direct and frank. Be prepared for the following, that many find uncomfortable to discuss. Many in the expat communities create their own select people for various clicks. Many expats bring their negative baggage from North America etc. Backstabbing and toxic occurrences are common. Also, gated communities with HOAs, can also be polarizing.

Hoping to relocate to PCty within the next six months. I appreciate your tip about searching FB or other sites for rentals because I've only used Panama Equity, Panama Realtor and other such sites to date. Your suggestions may lead me to a hidden gem. Thanks!!

I have traveled to Panamá before. Do you think I get a good feel for Panamá City and the country in a 10 day visit? Or, should I plan on two weeks? Grateful for your thoughts.
