The Gringo Guide to Panama II: More to Know Before You Go

The Gringo Guide to Panama II – More to Know Before You Go - updated in March 2016!

In 2008, executive JuliAnne Murphy relocated to Panama; a huge life change which proved challenging, exciting and led to the writing of her first book, the Amazon Kindle bestseller, The Gringo Guide to Panama: What to Know Before You Go.

Funny, direct and unembellished, this second release in the Gringo Guide to Panama series includes several additional topics about Panama, as requested by her readers and followers online (including gems that did not make it into the first book). (Note that both books were initially released and published under the pseudonym Elizabeth Vance for privacy reasons and re-released under the author's birth name in early 2016.)
