About PanaCompass
Built by expats, for everyone interested in Panama.
PanaCompass was founded by people who made the journey themselves, and wished they had this resource when they were starting out.
The founder
The person behind PanaCompass.
Ole moved to Panama City from Sweden in 2021 with his wife. Since then he's lived in various places, had a child, and started constructing a family home.
All this required a lot of time piecing together information from sales-minded professionals, contradictory blogs and outdated forum threads. He decided to use his background in software development to create a website and build the resource he wished he had access to.
Today PanaCompass reaches readers in dozens of countries. The goal hasn't changed: give people the honest information they need to make the right decision for their lives.
