  • Retiring to Panama - Episode 104
    Jan 23 2026

    This podcast is part of The Transitions Network's Global Retirement Perspectives where we talk with Jackie Lange about retiring to Panama.

    Jacki Lange is the founder of Panama Relocation Tours, a company she launched after retiring, which has since helped thousands of people explore and relocate to Panama with confidence. Originally from Texas, Jacki moved to Panama in 2010 seeking a better quality of life, spring like weather, and a more affordable retirement. What began as a simple effort to help a small group of friends understand what life in Panama is really like “accidentally” grew into a thriving business, now offering monthly relocation tours across the country.

    With more than 250 tours completed and deep personal experience living in multiple countries, Jacki has become one of the most trusted voices for people considering a move to Panama. Her mission is to show retirees the real Panama—both the opportunities and the challenges—so they can make informed decisions about their next chapter.
