Jim Gault

IL Pedasi Correspondent, Jim Gault and his wife, Abbe, started to desire an improved quality of life in 2013. In 2016, they finally completed their move from Naples, Florida to Pedasí, Panama full-time along with their pets.

His advice for anyone thinking of moving to Panama is, "Gather as much information as possible and absolutely travel to Panama to gain experience, first-hand knowledge, and find out if everything fits your expectations."
