Our Central American adventure continues in Boquete, Panama. The expats here say it is the best place in the world to retire early because of the low cost of living, great weather, and many things to do. Today we check out this fun city as we go on an e-bike tour, stay in a fantastic hobbit house on Airbnb, visit a local coffee plantation, eat at some great restaurants, and learn why expats say this is the best place in the world to retire. Expat life is good here; we got to see firsthand and visit with some local American retirees.
