I moved to Panama in 2019, bought a fixer-upper in 2022 and spent 8 months renovating the house. Now it's all about the garden!!
I have an Airbnb casita, check out my listing for Casa de Bambu y Luna
airbnb.com/h/casadebambuyluna
I transformed myself after a divorce and that led me to fulfilling a childhood dream of publishing books that help people. I've had an adventure of three international volunteer trips (Thailand, Dominican Republic, Romania). I did an 8 month RV trip across the United States and took my first trip to Panama in 2018. It just felt like home.
I'm a life coach who loves helping people become who they dream of being and living a life aligned with their values.
I'm an author who writes about my life experience with the purpose of helping others.

Are you considering buying property in Panama? Slow down and do a lot of research before you jump into any investment. You want to understand the role a realtor plays and why it's essential to have an attorney. Where do you find a trustworthy real estate agent or attorney? Here in Panama, there are many stories of unethical, unscrupulous and scammy players; I've encountered a few!
In this video, I talk about the red flags to watch out for, my advice for pre-construction deals, why cash is king and the importance of doing your due diligence on researching any property you may be interested in. If you understand the process, you can ask your attorney and/or realtor if they are researching specific issues about the property, taxes, ownership and legalities.

🌺 Tropical Gardening in El Valle de Anton: No Snow in Panama!
It sounds like you’ve become an expert on buying property in Panama. I am amazed you had the energy and funds to learn so much from your experiences while purchasing & remodeling your property. And everything has turned out so beautifully. I could not do all that alone. But you did!!🤩👏🏻❤
Your cat is a passive co-star in the background, Patty,👌 Thanks a lot for giving us the edifying benefits of your personal experience, and knowledge that you’ve acquired in your years of living in Panamá!👍
I appreciate the transparent sharing!
My dad used to pay to have his fish cleaned after fishing in the lake there! The mangoes yes, just falling off the trees. Mangoes in the states are not the same. I was watching one of your videos in Portobelo a while ago and I thought, "Who is this lady that is going around to all of the places we used to go when Panama was our home?" and I started following your adventures there. Bouquete and El Valle were favorite holiday spots.
Sounds like you have nice memories from Panama ☺️
You have made such an awesome transformation of that property!! One day i want to see it in person. I love the open concept!!
@@anniesshenanigans3815 I really love how the house turned out 🙏 Thank you ☺️
Patty, thank you so much for your honesty. You are the best 🎉 I really appreciate you for inside information that could help avoid dramatic mistakes. It happened to us in Ecuador. We decided to return to the US for health issues and still sell our apartment for more than a year.
@@lt5587 oh gosh, I’m so sorry you had that experience. I hope a buyer comes soon!!
Interesting......no escrow. I was just thinking why the example of the seller with $15,000 back taxes wouldn't put $15,000 into escrow at the sale of the property so the taxes could be paid the day the sale is made. Guess you can't do that without escrow. : )
they have to have the taxes paid before they can even complete the sale. Which is why so many places cannot be sold because the seller doesn't have the money to pay the taxes. It's not like the US where you can have your property taken away if you don't pay the taxes.
@@stevel6420 Yes, kind of odd. I don’t fully understand why there’s no escrow accounts 🤦♀️
Wow, thank you, Patty. This video is filled with loads of helpful, thoughtful, and intelligent advice!
@@mateoneedham6807 Thank you!
Your garden is really developing beautifully. What kind of monkey was that at the very end of the video?
@@lyric8006 it’s a tamarin monkey. There was a group of them. Two days in a row they showed up in that tree in the morning!
@@Pattybluehayes You are so fortunate to be surrounded by such a variety of wildlife. I feel the loss of that acutely in the US.
@@lyric8006 Even the city here is surrounded by jungle. Parks in Panama City have monkeys, sloths, toucans.
@@Pattybluehayes That’s amazing!
In Chiriqui (Volcan) it shakes from time to time. There has been, as of lately, 2 good earthshakez
@@topasioo yes! I think I was there when an earthquake happened. Also have felt them in Coronado and El Valle.
Are any of the ginger you have planted edible?
@@stevel6420 I think so, the galangal definitely.
Beautiful garden! Did I just see a painted rock there? 😍..
@@anayancyjohnson2026 yes! To label the plants ☺️🌸🌺
Hello Patty, Your garden and your home look great! Very peaceful.
@@robc5135 thank you 🌻
such a beautiful property
@@viral_videos257 I’m loving it!!
Beautiful Garden ❤❤❤❤ Beautiful home.❤❤❤❤❤
@@ritamancini1100 Thank you ☺️
Good thing you had that drainage ditch deepened. It's so lush Patty. I'm sure the rain gets old but WOW! I can almost smell your garden through my computer. Happy Birthday my dear friend.
@@susanrice3033 Thank you ☺️☺️☺️ The sun is out today and it is HOT 😆
Beautiful garden ❤🎉😊 Lovely home you created. Bravo🎉
@@chantalrochon3566 Thank you! So much rain, it’s growing like crazy 🌸🌟
Excellent information and presentation. Thank you for the time and effort you spent to gather and relay the information. Your last comment got me, I am guilty of doing exactly what you said don't do!!!
@@TomHillberg-st7wp So glad it was helpful! I have another informative video coming out on Sunday about real estate ☺️
Wow! Your garden is a true tropical paradise. Beautiful❤
@@christines5430 Thank you! I have a July update coming out tomorrow 🌸
Hello dear, can you suggest a city to live for a month, cheap hotels not too dangerous. I'm coming down next June , your advice would be crucial . I'm a bachelor, but I don't do hostels . Answer this question , please and Thank you.
@@vincemurry4201 While Panama is a small country, it is very diverse. I’d suggest you start researching areas where you might be interested in staying. There’s Panama City, beach towns, mountain towns, small islands - In many small towns, Airbnb is best to find a rental. Enjoy!
@@Pattybluehayes Thanks
festivals, dancing , and food...it was the offering of most indigineous people groups, that's how the the forts and cannons get there... does american history ring any bells for ya? :(
Sadly, yes 😞
My heart has always been with rescue, love that so many at the rescue seem to be hound mixes. My husband leans into pure breeds due to understanding nuances within a breed's characteristics. Hoping one day to have a large enough property so we can have both. Wonderful caring group of people.
@@mtngrl5859 Those volunteers are amazing, truly 💓
@@Pattybluehayes Looked like a great group of people!
I second CK9mum's comment. Up to now it hasn't been part of my selection process of finding somewhere in Panama to retire. After watching this video it has definitely been added to my list of must haves.
@@stevel6420 wherever you look in Panama, you’ll be able to find some animal rescues most likely 🙏
PattyBlueHayes is the most even tempered person I think I've ever come across. She seems to have a natural built-in smiling optimism about everything. She has a sense of what she wants, and exactly how to go about acquiring it, that's almost supernatural. Its as though she's putting a puzzle together in her head, applying just the right pieces, at just the right places, at just right time, as she goes along. I have to say, I'm impressed!
@@henryjohnson280 Thanks for the kind words! I did a lot of inner work and I’m so happy I did 🌟
I have deep admiration for the work that this group does! I am happy to hear that the # of spay/neuter is rising. I'm still in Canada but hope to relocate to Panama full/part-time. As a rescue dog advocate I will seek out a volunteer opportunity with this group if we end up being in the Gorgona area (it's on our list of possibilities). Love your videos PattyBlueHayes!!
@@CK9mum I’m truly amazed at the dedication. It really is a lot of work, organizing animals, people and those spay clinics. Thanks for watching my channel 🙌
the most honest ever may God bless you and thanks for the help full information.
@@DorlaHemmans You are very welcome!
It's seems like a lot of changes is it worth it.. the added stress is bad enough even though I like the rain and tropical weather... Mmmm don't know
Whew! I made it through!! Fantastic content Patty. Thank you so much!
@@paulpierce3875 Great to hear it was helpful!
can you please leave the name and contact info for the temporary shelter place in El Valle?
@@viral_videos257 The dog rescue? Temporal Cabanas is in La Chorrera. Gilberto is the founder. He has 45 dogs and is low on funds for food. He is on Instagram, Temporal Cabanas. Here in El Valle, volunteers collect money for the spay and neuter events we do in the community. To donate to that, you can check the Spay Neuter El Valle fb page.
@@Pattybluehayes no, the place where you stayed at
@@viral_videos257 oh! Valle de Antón Suites. Phone is 6120-7480
@@Pattybluehayes thanks
Great information. Thank you
Thank you can you please give me some info about getting a room in a decent a house
In David. I am single an very exciting to go to Panama. Thank you for your videos…. Very imformative
Patty, Another great video! I love Toucans, I've never heard their sounds before. In my garden, I have the huge Panamanian Pheasants, they are quite vocal! Quick question, the store in the video was that Rey or a smaller store?
@@mtngrl5859 it was the Rey in El Valle and the RIBA Smith is in Coronado. I think I know the other bird you’re talking about. Long feather tails, brown in color. Loud!!!
@@Pattybluehayes Yes, those are the birds and they are quite loud! First time I saw them flying & landing on my fruit trees they weighed the branches due to their size. We also have those smaller Parrots they always fly in groups & have lovely chatter. Thanks for letting me know about the stores.
U always have a wonderful smile it express your happiness being in Panama 🇵🇦 keep up the great work 👍
@@rogerroach5412 thank you!!! I love my life 🌟
Thank you for fundraising for the animals! I enjoy your channel.
@@Njjoy16 The volunteers for the spay and neuter initiative are admirable, tireless and committed 🙏 So glad you enjoyed.
It was great watching you while I had lunch. Reminded me of how often we used to eat together! Beautiful property and garden tour. I’m so proud of how you’ve made this transition, not sure I’d be as brave. Much love, meg
@@maryellengale629 I do miss some good Mexican food 😆 Brave! Girl you moved to Colorado ❄️🌨️🥶
Why would you return a $5 item and at a dollar store, anyway?
@@barbarashock529 I wanted to exchange it. It was 3 days old.
All my positive thoughts for your 5000 subscribers 😊
@@chantalrochon3566 Thank you!!!
Everything look so beautiful, peaceful and relaxing. I can't wait to move there. We will be next to the Cerro la silla. And a land my mom heritage from her Mom and grandparents. But for sure i will love to live near town.
@@mariaolson3034 Cerro Silla is beautiful and not far from town at all! You will have more peace there and maybe some nice views depending on where the land is.
Is fresh food delivery a big thing in Panama? You mentioned the person that comes through your neighborhood with fresh fish. I was watching a PRT live video yesterday. The woman being interviewed lives in Boquete and she and her husband get fresh produce and meat delivered to their house.
@@stevel6420 I noticed in El Valle now there is a ‘meat club’ and they deliver to the house. Some farms may opt to do that - I believe one here delivers goat cheese, eggs and other produce. Typically there’s guys selling fish from coolers on a truck, I’ve seen a bread truck go through the neighborhood and they sell live chickens.
Hello Patty, I been to El Valle and may consider relocating there in the latter part of next year. More videos with housing would be awesome since I know there are no constants. Love your smile ! May GOD continue to bless you.
@@oaoun5836 As I’ve mentioned, housing here in El Valle can be challenging. For renting, I suggest people start at the Valle de Anton Suites while looking for a house rental or to purchase land or a house. The time renting gives you a good idea of whether the town is right for you. Helpful to experience both seasons as they are vastly different.
@@Pattybluehayes Thank you Patty for the heads up. Sounds like good and practical advice.
@@oaoun5836 The reason I say that is due to the fact that you want to be in town, meeting people, asking what is for rent and then taking action the minute you find something you like 😄
@@Pattybluehayes 😍hopefully we may meet sometime next year. You give sound advice.
You always go with the flow, Patty; a commendable trait - especially in a Latin country 😉; something I find hard to do even here in the Arkansas hinterlands... (I blame my German mother for it, while my Austrian father was quite laid back). Anyway, I realized two years ago, Panama - while alluring in its lushness - was not for me. The more I appreciate your videos living vicariously through you (esp. at my age - I hate to say that since I ain't dead yet). 😜
@@IngeHBorg That German heritage has you systematic! Imagine if you were Swiss, too 😆 Curious, what made you decide Panama wasn’t for you? I’m glad you can live vicariously through my life here - and yes, here you have to go with the flow! Not always an easy adjustment for people.
@@Pattybluehayes When fancy free and footloose (and much younger), I moved from Vienna to London, Paris, Moscow, Chicago, Boston, New Hampshire, San Diego (glorious La Jolla, actually), to - believe it or not - Arkansas, where I wrote and published my "Legends of the Winged Scarab" 5-Novel series; very rewarding. While two years ago (at 80 and stoutly healthy and mentally alert - minus a glass of good wine), I was still gung-ho. Alas, the intricacies of immigrating do outweigh the benefits.
@@IngeHBorg Wow! What a fascinating past you have 🤩 Curious why Arkansas . . .
@@Pattybluehayes Leaving beautiful La Jolla and the ocean was hard; but 2000 stock market crash () as well as taking early retirement led me to a beautiful lake resort town in AR where many others are from somewhere else. Artists, volunteers, and nice amenities make life pleasant.
@@IngeHBorg And you’re a writer 😊 I looked at your Author profile - so glad you have a creative space to fuel your imagination 🌟
To clarify: The weekend of the 4th was a holiday because of the presidential inauguration that was on the 1st. So it was more busy than usual but not because of July 4th ☺️
The Toucans are amazing and if they are gathering it could mean they're planning a coup. They're behind the popcorn shortage and could have tampered with your mister. ha ha ha! I love your hair too.. it must be cooler in the humidity.
😂 You’re on to something! The great Toucan-coup of 2024. I do love seeing them.
❤❤❤
Yes, it's raining, but the atmosphere is so fresh, peaceful and relaxing. Thank you
@@lt5587 And the plants are thriving with all the water 🌺🌼🌴
I just subscribed. You are very informative & helpful. I enjoy watching the videos too. I lived in Panama in the early ‘90’s & have been back twice. We are considering moving there again ina few years. One thing concerns me: you mentioned there are no ambulances in El Valle? That’s scary. While I haven used one in eons, that’s a concern as I grow older (I’m 65 now). Emergency services are a boogie to seniors. And thoughts?
@@helenequinn2498 That’s why I signed up for the Panama helpline. If an emergency happens I call them and they coordinate any help available. There’s definitely some higher risks about living in a developing country, but the benefits far exceed them for me. Thank you for subscribing!
Facts to straighten: the Chinese came a lot earlier with the construction of the railway. The Afro-Caribbean came for both the railway and the canal but mainly the canal (also Greeks, Spanish, Indians, Irish and many others). The Afro-colonials were brought by the Spanish as slaves. I loved your video, kudos to you and happy Panamanian living!!
@@thaniamoore7353 🙏Thank you!
This is right up Erin's alley. Sending her the video to encourage her to visit. Love this and you!
I think she’d really enjoy Panama!
That stuck part looked bad, but glad you got free
I was lucky to have the guy on the horse! And the people who owned The Hawk’s Nest close by 🙏
@@Pattybluehayes yes having people willing to help close by is a huge blessing! Are most of the "roads" in that area in that condition?
@@Bbzz24173 No, roads like this are only typical in small rural communities. The paved roads can have potholes though. Some quite large 😳
@@Pattybluehayes well at least thats not your typical driving terrain then lol but pot holes can really take a toll on a vehicle. Hope your tires were ok after all that spinning 😳😬
@@Bbzz24173 oh I cracked a tire rim in a pothole 😫 Took months to find a new rim.
We really enjoyed your visit which was very interesting and made us all happy while enjoying it
So glad you liked it! ☺️
