🇵🇦 Five years ago today, I became a permanent resident of Panama.

When I received my residency, I never imagined where this journey would lead.

Since then, I’ve built a new life, earned Jamaican citizenship, visited 14 countries, left a career of more than 20 years, started a YouTube channel that has grown into an incredible community, and discovered a version of myself I didn’t know existed.

Panama has challenged me, humbled me, and given me opportunities I never expected.

For me, Panama was never just another country on a map. It’s part of my family’s story. Long before I became a permanent resident, my ancestors were helping shape the history of this country. So becoming a resident wasn’t just starting a new chapter—it felt like coming full circle.

Looking back, becoming a resident wasn’t just about paperwork.

It was about reconnecting with my family’s past while building my own future.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. ❤️🇵🇦

Help me name this!

This month marks 5 years as a Panama permanent resident and 4 years living in Panama.

We all know what a Panniversary is… but what do you call celebrating BOTH? 🤔. Leave a comment if you have some other ideas. Tee hee.

Wooo hooooo!!!

A few years ago, I left a 20+ year engineering career, moved to Panama, and started sharing my journey on YouTube.

From life in Panama…
to living abroad with a disability…
to residency and citizenship…
to geopolitics and expat strategy…

Thank you for every view, comment, question, share, and conversation.

What we’ve built here feels like so much more than a YouTube channel. It’s a community of people who are curious about the world, willing to think beyond borders, and open to exploring different possibilities for their lives.

Thank you for being part of this journey and for helping Abroad Ability reach 17,000 subscribers.

Now let’s see what the road to 20,000 will bring! 🌍✈️🎥

And yes, I am doing a dorky happy dance! 🎉💃🏽
