We had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with our friends Drew and Jermika (@lifebeyonddefault2018) to chat about their journey living as an expat family in Panama! 🇵🇦✨

Moving abroad as a family comes with so many unique moments, and hearing their story was such a blessing. Check out the full sit-down on the channel now, and drop some love for them in the comments! 💛

Y’all… we went almost 14 hours with zero water in our apartment. No shower, no dishes, nothing. And somehow we ended up laughing about it by the end of the night 😂 New video’s up breaking down what happened and why it actually changed how we’re thinking about Boquete.

If you’re thinking of hiring domestic workers in Panama, then we recommend you watch this video to get some food for thought. It’s not to say don’t hire domestic workers, but be prepared and informed beforehand.
