What do people like (and dislike) about Nueva Gorgona?
When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Nueva Gorgona, they replied...
"Expats and digital nomads living in Nueva Gorgona enjoy the laid-back atmosphere and the friendly locals. They also appreciate the low cost of living and the easy access to the beach. The close proximity to Panama City is also a plus, as it allows for easy access to the city's amenities. On the downside, some expats and digital nomads find the lack of public transportation and the limited nightlife to be drawbacks. Additionally, the language barrier can be a challenge for those who don't speak Spanish," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Nueva Gorgona, Panama.
"I love he town I live in. It's small but in close proximity to neighboring towns with many dining and shopping options. We are very happy with where we live. There is a good doctor in our neighboring town that speaks English and has specialists come into his office for easy access to people in our area. For more specialized medical procedures, Panama City has many private hospitals with excellent reputations and specialists in every field. We are about an hour from Panama City so access is not very difficult. I do have minor concerns about what would happen if I had a major medical emergency (heart attack, stroke) but I don't worry about it. Our philosophy is to deal with things as they arise. Maybe not the best approach, but our approach," commented one expat who made the move to Nueva Gorgona, Panama.
