Dear International Living Reader,

Bill and Mieke didn't choose Panama as the place they wanted to retire to on a whim; they saw all that it had to offer and couldn't resist making the move.

Now they live in the country's capital, a First-World City where you can enjoy the metropolitan lifestyle, including art and theater shows, fine dining, and top-class health care, for $2,000 per month.

But, even in the midst of the city, you're not far from some stunning natural beauty, as Bill and Mieke have discovered...

"This Part of Panama City Is Perfect"
By Jessica Ramesch

"We spent about five years researching good retirement destinations before actually moving to Panama," says Bill Hamilton who moved with his wife Mieke to the country's capital city.

"I'm the type of person to look up every single thing...crime rates, politics, cost of living, real estate, health care...and Panama City kept popping up in my research as the best option across the board."

Though in their 60s and already retired from previous careers, the Hamiltons made the decision to move in order to take a stab at running the Balboa Inn, a nine-room B&B in Panama City.

It's a decision that they haven't regretted.

"We absolutely love this part of Panama City," says Mieke of the Balboa area.

Located in the capital's Ancón district, this area is a world away from the city skyscrapers. As she makes a sweeping gesture to indicate the inn's exuberant yard, Mieke says, "I love nature, and this area allows me to be close to it."
