Episode notes

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  ...
