Bio:

Hello, we live in Puerto Armuelles, Panama with our two children. Who are now 5 and 10 years old. We love it here.

We traveled extensively in Panama looking for the perfect place for us to live. Puerto Armuelles was the only real beach town we found. We love the ocean, so while we visited the mountains, the ocean held us in its sway.

We are here to share our love of Panama with others. As part of that sharing, we have carefully purchased land that are great places to live - and we are starting to put them up for sale.

You can see more on our website and blog.
