I live in Celestún, a village of about 7,500 people west of Merida in the state of Yucatan in the Yucatan Peninsula. Most of the expats in Celestún are very friendly and very helpful towards each other.

In the Caribbean coast in Boca del Toro, or Colon, or San Blas, where we have the beautiful white sand and pristine water, we do not have any record of any dangerous animal.

Any restaurant you go to in Nicaragua and eat something with gravy or soup or have a cup of coffee or a cup of tea, you’re drinking their water. They don’t cook with purified water.

If you bought a house in the Cayo district in San Ignacio or in Santa Elena, your neighbors would probably be poorer than you, but they would be very friendly.

My experience as an American woman in Portugal 30 years ago was not good; at that time I found it a frustratingly "macho" country.

Three years ago, I selected Panama as a regional base for my business. I am very pleased with the results and can state, unequivocally, that I accomplished the principle goal.
Moreover, I have been blessed with the opportunity to help many patients heal and put their lives back together. Being able to provide efficient access to affordable life-improving and/or life-saving medical care, is very gratifying.
Many patients have touched my heart. One in...
About two and a half weeks ago a stray dog got locked in our landlady’s garage. She howled all night but we thought that our landlady was just keeping the dog for a friend. It wasn't until the next morning, when we asked if we could walk the dog, we realized that she had no idea that a dog was trapped in her garage. She even walked the neighborhood to find the source of the unhappy dog howls.
At that point, she was freed and she became our compound dog. We live in...
