Sandra Snyder arrived in Panama on her own yacht many years ago and was so taken by this small country that she decided to settle there. As an observant outsider Sandra Snyder has the great advantage of being able to take a detached view of this fascinating place and its people, and present the reader with a comprehensive overview of this country that straddles two continents and two oceans.

Having lived and observed Panama for many years, the author is in a unique position to bring together all the practical information that a newcomer who intends to spend some time in Panama, or even settle there permanently, may need. Sandra Snyder gives invaluable tips on every possible matter of importance, from visa requirements to financial matters, from rented accommodation to safety precautions, from medical care to education, from sports to entertainment. In essence, the book covers every possible subject by dealing with everything under the Panamanian sun, from birth and its registration, to death and how to deal with the departed!

What strikes one from the very first page is the author’s great affection for her adopted country and its warm-hearted people. Panamanians are indeed a most welcoming people, which is not surprising as they live in one of the busiest crossroads of the world and for close to one century the Panama Canal has made a unique contribution to making the world smaller. Sandra Snyder’s book fits perfectly into that tradition and will make its own lasting contribution to bringing the people of the world even closer together.

For visiting sailors, Sandra Snyder's guide is so packed with practical information that it would be of great help to sailors waiting to transit the Canal who may be short of time and would appreciate the author's tips and advice.
