We are back after a bit of a hiatus. We finally got internet at our dome and now it is much easier to upload podcast episodes, so we are hoping to stay consistent again.

Today we discuss the tropical storm that hit Panama during November 2024. There was significantly more rain than usual for that time of year (end of rainy season). We talk about how our farm and dome handled all the water; all the mud play the kids did; what is was like to have super cool weather here and actually put on sweaters! There was flooding in other parts of Panama and we share a bit about that.

In this Friday’s episode we dive into our solar power system! Our original plan was to connect to the grid and have a backup solar system, but that all changed when we got a quote for the thick cables that we needed to get power from the road to our house about 200 yards from the road.

Listen to learn more about why we decided to go fully off-grid; what it was like finding a solar company down here; the process of getting the whole system set up; turning power on for the first time; and what we’ve experienced using it so far.

Panama is very close to the equator and therefore gets a lot of sun all year long, so we are very happy to be utilizing the power of the sun!

We are back with Season 3 and as promised, we waited until we could record this episode in our aircrete dome home! We officially moved in about 2 weeks ago and have been so happy and busy here! There's was a lot of last minute work over the past few weeks before we moved in, to make the dome livable for us (including setting up our solar power system, getting our well water to the house, installing an outdoor shower and more).

There is still a number of things to complete on the home before we can say "it is done". BUT we are so excited and relieved to be finally living on our farm and in our new home. Our shipping container arrived, which we talk about, and it has been so sweet to have our stuff from California here with us now.

We are excited for this new season and hope you enjoy today's first episode!

Today is the last episode of Season 2! We are going to take a break while we complete our dome, receive our goods from our shipping container coming from USA, move into our dome, and work on some farm projects. We are excited to start Season 3 from our DOME HOME!

In our last episode for this season we share FIVE REASONS why we think you should move to Chiriqui, Panama. Whether you're looking for a quiet life in a gorgeous, tropical location; entertainment and culture in a new place; land to start or re-start the farm, homestead; or hotel of your dreams; or just want to try something short term - the province of Chiriqui in Panama is a great place to be.

We share reasons like having a small, convenient airport nearby; a city with lots of amenities; quiet communities; amazing beaches as well as cool mountain towns; everything being within a couple hours driving; and a lot more. We have lived here for a year now, so we are not experts, but we share what we've learned and observed so far. Enjoy and see you next season!

We've been living in Panama for ONE YEAR now! This Friday's episode is a little different. Eduardo and I (Nicole) came up with some questions for each other in regards to moving to and living in Panama for one year now. We didn't talk about these questions before, so these are spur of the moment answers.

** We apologize that a big thunder and rain storm came through while we were recording this episode, so there are some parts where the background rain noise is pretty loud. You can still hear us, please stick with us, it doesn't last too long. We hope you enjoy our conversation!

On this, our one year anniversary of moving to Panama, we have a short and sweet episode with some more dome home progress. We discuss where we're at in the building process and how we hope to be moving in by August (in about 6 weeks)!

We are preparing for final projects like wall finishes, paint, plumbing, electric, dome caps, custom doors and windows, and more! If you're interested in aircrete domes, we have a few other episodes like why we chose aircrete dome for our home here, and other progress episodes. As always, thanks for being here!

Well today's episode was recorded at the perfect time....you can hear a big rainstorm pretty much the whole time we're talking! But, you should be able to hear us just fine. In this week's episode we discuss the transition from the dry to rainy season; what it's like; what we love about the rainy season; a few things that we don't love about the rainy season and more.

Some of the things we love and talk about is the lush green everywhere; the waterfalls; less tourism; cooler weather; slow, cool evenings; and how fast everything grows- like our pasture and new trees! If you've been considering visiting Central America during the rainy season, but thought it was a "bad time" to come, then take a listen and maybe you'll change your mind.

We're back from our little break here in the podcast world and sharing about our trip to California. We visited California to pack up all our remaining belongings in preparation for our shipping container to take it all to Panama.

We discuss getting in & out of Panama City; plane rides; lots of great family time; how much we enjoyed doing all the great things we used to love about Turlock. Food, used book stores, strawberries, farmers market, perfect spring weather, In & Out Burger of course, linguica and more!
