Since moving to Panama, have you found yourself desperately needing someone who knows Spanish and understands the Latino culture? Perhaps you’re experiencing that right now! It may be a feud with a neighbor, an important business deal, a meeting with a government official, a parent/teacher conference, a medical consultation, or any of a host of other situations. If so, please allow me to introduce myself. I’m Darrell Eash, a recent transplant from Colorado Springs. Now I realize that name sounds quite Anglo-Saxon. However, what you don’t know about me is that I was born in Venezuela and grew up there until I moved to the U.S. for college. So yes, I’m quite fluent in Spanish, having learned both languages as a child. Additionally, my 27 years as a radio/TV producer have been spent entirely among Latinos. I’ve traveled to all but four Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America, many of them multiple times, and lived in Costa Rica for a while. My move to Boquete a couple of months ago with my family was the culmination of five previous visits to this wonderful country. Whether by chance or by choice, I’ve already had the opportunity to be the “go-between” in a number of encounters between Gringos and Panamanians. These situations have included a land purchase, a computer repair, a school visit, a wifi hotspot purchase, and even a potential arrest and vehicle impounding! So it got me thinking that maybe I should offer to help the wider expat community here in Boquete. Here’s what I’m willing to do. If you have a need to communicate with a local Spanish-speaker, just give me a call or send me a WhatsApp message at 6587-7167. Depending on the nature of the request, my assistance could be free of charge or might require a reasonable fee for my time and expertise. Either way, I think you’ll be happy with how much easier things work out for you. Solutions will come quicker and misunderstandings will be minimized, simply because I can speak to each party not only in their native tongue, but in the language of their heart. Good communication is the key to getting things done. Don’t leave it to chance!

Greetings to all, My name is Whip Whipple. My family of four (wife Kelly and 2 boys, Zack, 10, and Dane, 8) has recently relocated here to Boquete. We have been enjoying the magnificent climate and the warm welcome of our fellow Americans and our Panamanian hosts here in this country. Thank you for helping us adjust to the “new normal” in our life! I have been a chiropractor for the last 16 years in Montana. It is both my calling and my passion. I love what I do and am filled with gratitude that God has gifted me with the ability to help others through this discipline. While my main priority is creating a new life/adventure for my family at this time, I would like to offer to anyone in need my services on a completely free basis. Yes, that’s right…completely free. This is my way of paying it forward. I was educated at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa and use both hands on manual adjusting as well as using a small adjusting tool called the arthrostim (I call it my chiropractic jackhammer). I favor a gentle touch and approach and if you have any issues with decreased bone density or osteoporosis I can help you without risk by using only the arthrostim adjusting tool. I also do a bit of soft tissue trigger point therapy when indicated. To be clear, I am not interested in having a busy practice like I did in the states. I have my adjusting table in my house and I do this to meet more of my new neighbors and create relationship with you. I may or may not be available depending upon what’s happening on any given day. However, I have a service oriented heart and if I can help you enjoy life more, please don’t hesitate to call me. My number is 6241-3582 and I look forward to meeting you... even if you don’t need an adjustment! Warmest Regards, Whip Whipple
