    What our beach trips look like // living by a tropical beach in Panama // Playa Las Lajas

    In our second to last episode of Season 4, we are talking about our favorite thing to do here in our beautiful little Panamanian town - go to the beach! We have a few different "versions" of our beach trip and we share what those look like. The early morning sunrise quick trip, the Sunday pre-waffle relaxed trip, and the longer- take an ice chest and snacks- beach trip. Playa Las Lajas is a huge, sandy, safe, clean water beach to hang out and play at, with very few people, not many big wave days and plenty of space to run around on the sand. It is only about 10-15 minutes from our farm and that was a BIG reason we decided to buy this specific piece of property in Panama. Milk cows and surf and harvest clams and homeschool and cook and clean and do laundry and take a nap all in the same day! Eduardo and I have both loved the beach, surfing, the ocean, sand, tropical locations and California beaches for as long as we can remember - so the beach is something that has always been a place we spend time at, a place we got to know each other at when we dated, and a place we went to for rest, relaxation and fun. We hope you enjoy this episode and if you get the chance to visit a beach in Panama, you should definitely check out Playa Las Lajas in Chiriqui! ------------------ UPCOMING WOMEN'S CIRCLES IN BOQUETE, PANAMA:: Saturday, October 17, 2026; Saturday, December 19, 2026.

    Driving in Panama & getting a Panamanian drivers license

    Today's episode was recorded during a huge storm, so you'll hear some rain and a few loud peels of thunder! This week's episode of The PanaFamilia Podcast we're sharing all about how to get a drivers license in Panama (pretty easy!) and what is is like driving around here. Eduardo and Nicole talk about driving in small towns, busier towns, on the PanAmerican and in Panama City. Don't worry, it only took visiting Panama City 10 times to figure out how to get around without going in circles. Google Maps & Waze works great here and once you hit the middle of the country it is pretty smooth sailing, not much traffic at all. Getting a drivers license in Panama is linked up with your residency, so we suggest using your lawyer to help you the first time. After that you just set up renewal appointments yourself. Simple hearing and vision test, $25, and you're good to go! We hope you enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

    Our tropical permaculture farm - how we planned our home and gardens with permaculture principles, what we're growing and more

    Today's episode is a fun one and all about the food and plants we grow here on our tropical farm in Panama, and how we planned out our home and farm from scratch. We discuss how we were able to start with basically a blank slate, piece of raw pasture land and create roads that connected our out-buildings, how we decided where to put our home, where to plant trees, where to place our gardens, and how everything eventually found it's perfect place. We discuss plants and trees that grow super easy here and plants that are more challenging. Nicole talks about her green house vegetable garden- what has worked and what has been difficult. We share about how permaculture principles gave us the foundation for how we would set up everything from the water management, to access roads, to where we put our fruit trees.

    Cell phones for foreigners in Panama - will your cell phone work here? What do we use? How to get a local number & more!

    In this week's episode of The PanaFamilia Podcast, we're talking all about cell phones, cell providers, the importance of WhatsApp, what we use for cell service here in Panama, cell phone repairs and more! If you have an AT&T unlimited plan from USA, you automatically have the Latin America plan, which means you can use your cell phone like normal down here without changing your plan. For everyone else, there are a variety of options you can choose from! Getting cell phone service here is super easy and doesn't require long, expensive contracts. You can buy data chips at any grocery store and start using a Panamanian phone number right away. We also discuss how important WhatsApp is in Panama, and for most of the world excluding USA. If you have wi-fi and WhatsApp, you will be able to get along quite well here, as all businesses and most people communicate through WhatsApp! >> What do you want to learn about or hear about most?

    The PanaFamilia Booze Cruise! All about booze in Panama - what alcohol you can find here; wines from around the world and what we like!

    This week's episode is all about booze! (Sorry mom). Eduardo and Nicole like to enjoy an evening drink most days and thought it would be fun to share about the kind of alcohol you can find here in Panama. We talk about local beers and local microbreweries- Casa Bruja is the best! We discuss how you can find wines from around the world here! Panama imports wines from France, Argentina, Chile, Spain, Italy, United States and more. We talk about our favorite rum, Ron Abuelo 7 años. And we of course share about our favorite homemade cocktail, the rum and lime, perfect for the end of a long, hot, busy, sweaty day, when we're sitting on the terrazza watching our cows and the sunset, with the kids running around. ** This episode does include discussions about alcohol obviously, but we still keep it pretty PG, if you happen to be listening around your kids. >> What do you want to learn about or hear about most?

    All about parenting - our philosophy and how its evolved; why 1 kid is harder than 3; letting kids be free and much more!

    Hi guys! Today Eduardo and Nicole talk all about parenting. We share how wonderful and fulfilling it is to be parents, even through all the challenges and difficult times. We talk about how once you have multiple kids, your family actually runs smoother and you have more time for yourself because lots of kids means they can help each other sometimes. We talk about how children are an integral part of a family and society and not just little "annoyances" that get in the way until they grow up. (We were all kids once, right?) We talk about unschooling a little bit. We share how giving kids freedom to do what they enjoy, find their own interests, and entertain themselves produces creative, forward thinking children versus kids that are just bossed around all day long and have no mind of their own. Another thing we discuss is allowing kids to learn conflict resolution on their own - by not always stepping in to ease arguments, fights or disagreements. >> What do you want to learn about or hear about most?
