Study reveals what expats REALLY think about living overseas

Vannessa Solano

Associated With: Activentas, S.A.
About Me: I am a native born Panamanian who, until recently did a good amount of traveling while working for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines.

All that traveling caused me to understand that sometimes you have to leave in order to notice the things you’re missing. In Panama, we’re very blessed, and I love my country.

Our economy has increased rapidly. Our prices are still very good.

I consider that, here in Panama, we enjoy where we are, which is the most important thing in life. It’s not only about making money, but also being around things that you really want to be around.

For Activentas, I work in Marketing and Public Relations.
