Words can describe it. Videos make you feel it. See what it’s like to be on the ground in Panama and Medellín with people who have already made the move.
You’re Not Alone ,You’ve done the research.
Now do the experience.
You’ve watched the YouTube videos. Joined the Facebook groups. Downloaded the cost-of-living spreadsheets. Maybe you’ve even taken a tourist trip or two.
But something’s been missing. You can’t find the real answers the honest ones about healthcare, visas, where to actually live, whether it’s safe for your family, or what life looks like six months in. Not from a blog. Not from a stranger in a comment section.
What you need is to stand in the neighborhood, shake hands with the expat who moved there three years ago, and feel it for yourself.
✓ Is this destination right for my lifestyle and budget?
✓ Which visa actually applies to my situation?
✓ Where would I actually live which neighborhood, which building?
✓ Who are my people there? Where’s my community?
✓ Is healthcare actually as good as they say?
Boots on the ground. Experts in the room.
This is not a tour it is a transformation. Every day is designed to move you from unsure to informed, and from informed to ready.

What exactly is the 2027 Two-Destination Relocation Tour? It's an 11-day, 2-destination boots-on-ground experience co-hosted by MOOD Travel Abroad (Medellín) and Go Explore Panama (Panama City). January 13–18 in Panama City, followed by January 18–24 in Medellín. Curated expert seminars, neighborhood and apartment tours, community events, and direct access to local expat networks everything you need to go from "thinking about it" to "I know what I'm doing."
You can attend one or take the full 2-for-1 tour. Panama City runs January 13–18 with Go Explore Panama. Medellín runs January 18–24 with MOOD Travel Abroad. Choosing both gives you a rare, side-by-side comparison of two completely different relocation opportunities — invaluable if you're still deciding between the two.
Full pricing will be released when booking officially opens. Payment plans will be available — a key part of how MOOD Travel Abroad makes international relocation accessible to everyone. Joining the waitlist ensures you're first to receive pricing and can lock in your spot before they fill.
Healthcare and expat insurance options, Immigration and visa pathways (Pensionado, investor, digital nomad, residency), Property investment and the rental market, Living abroad as a military veteran (dedicated track), Family life abroad including schools and childcare, Neighborhood comparisons and cost-of-living budgeting, and Banking and financial planning for expats.
Most people are deciding between Panama and Colombia, not just one country. The 2-for-1 structure lets you experience both back-to-back and make a fully informed comparison. Many attendees arrive thinking they know which they prefer — and leave having changed their minds. That clarity is worth far more than the cost of the extra days.
Panama offers a dollarized economy, a cost of living roughly 36% lower than the U.S., one of the world's most expat-friendly residency programs (the Pensionado Visa), modern healthcare, no hurricanes, and direct flights from major U.S. cities in 3–5 hours. In 2024, InterNations ranked Panama the #1 best country for expatriates globally. Go Explore Panama — led by Big Will and Sonja, who made the move themselves — brings you the real insider experience.
Medellín is called the "City of Eternal Spring" for its year-round ~72°F temperatures. It offers a thriving expat community, world-class private healthcare, and a comfortable lifestyle under $1,500 USD/month — roughly 30% more affordable than Panama for a comparable quality of life. Neighborhoods like El Poblado and Laureles are well-developed expat hubs with strong community infrastructure. The city has undergone a remarkable transformation and consistently ranks among the top cities in Latin America for long-term expats.
Absolutely. The tour includes a dedicated military veteran seminar track covering VA benefit logistics abroad, military pension and banking internationally, and veteran-specific visa and residency programs in both Panama and Colombia. You'll also connect with veterans already living in both cities who can share their firsthand experience.
MOOD Travel Abroad is a Medellín, Colombia-based relocation company offering consultations, digital relocation packages, and immersive experiences for individuals and families moving to Colombia. Go Explore Panama — founded by Big Will and Sonja, expats who made the move themselves — provides tailored relocation tours, consultations, and on-the-ground support for people considering Panama. Together, they offer an unmatched dual-destination experience backed by real, lived local knowledge.
Yes. The waitlist form includes a dedicated field for special relocation needs. Whether you're traveling with children, require accessibility support, are moving with pets, have specific visa questions, or have any other unique circumstances — both MOOD Travel Abroad and Go Explore Panama will use that information to tailor your experience and connect you with the right experts and community members during the tour.
