Bologna, Italy | Overseas Haven Report
Italy is world-famous for its fantastic cuisine, and Bologna is its culinary capital. Food preparation and the simple act of eating are revered practices, taken very seriously here, which speaks to the overall quality of life. It’s one of the highest in Italy.
Bologna’s other claims to fame are its terracotta-hued skyline (giving it the nickname of “La Rossa” or “The Red”) and its historic center—one of the biggest and best-preserved in the country.
This city has all the charm and vibrancy of Rome and Florence and yet, somehow, none of the tourists… All this combines to create an exceptional lifestyle opportunity for the Italy-minded overseas retiree. Learn more about Bologna in this Overseas Haven Report.

Panama, Overseas Haven Reports
Bocas del Toro, Panama | Overseas Haven Report
Bocas del Toro is a tourist town. In fact, it is often regarded as Panama’s top tourist destination—and for good reason, too. Bocas del Toro Province is one of the most pristine areas on Panama’s Caribbean coast, and tourists have started to take note of its dense rain forests, clear and clean turquoise water, and white-sand beaches.
Bocas del Toro is a province in Panama consisting of a small portion of the mainland as well as an archipelago of nine islands. It borders the Caribbean Sea to the north, Chiriquí to the south, Costa Rica to the west, and the indigenous Ngöbe-Bugle comarca to the east.
Minutes after stepping off the water taxi that takes you to Bocas Town, on the Bocas del Toro archipelago’s Isla Colón, tour guides are waiting to pounce with their offers of island hopping, scuba diving, surf lessons, ziplining, and more. Hostels, hotels, bed-and-breakfasts, restaurants, cafés, and bars surround the main seafront strip where the water taxis unload the wide-eyed visitors.
But Bocas is so much more than just tourists… The 19,000 or so residents in town consist of surfers, fishers, and entrepreneurs, including local indigenous people, Panamanians, and foreigners. Like much of Panama, Bocas is a multicultural mix.
Bocas town has a distinctly Caribbean flair (not surprisingly, given that it’s located on the Caribbean coast). Rastafarian culture is present in the music, shops, and restaurants, and Bob Marley blasts from bar speakers and adorns tourist T-shirts. Don’t be confused though. This isn’t Jamaica; Bocas Town just feels like Jamaica.
