Texas Family's Move to Panama: A New Life in the Jungle

Relocating to Panama

• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 The Oberlin family, including three children and three dogs, sold most of their belongings and moved from Texas to Bokeete, Panama.
• ✈️ Their journey involved driving to Florida, flying over a thousand miles to Panama, and then a six-hour drive into the mountains.

Embracing a New Lifestyle

• 🏞️ The family is now enjoying a slower pace of life, exploring waterfalls, hiking, and shopping at local markets.
• 🏫 Their children are enrolled in a local school and are learning Spanish.
• 🤝 They have found an amazing sense of community in their new home.

Reasons for Moving

• ⚠️ The move was motivated by a desire for a safer environment, with the mother noting her children can now go out alone, which she did not feel comfortable with in Amarillo.
• 🏡 They left behind a five-bedroom house and a majority of their possessions to start anew abroad.
