PERSONAL HELP · PANAMA CITY & MEDELLÍN

Get more done.
Enjoy being there.

I’ve spent mornings getting medical appointments handled and afternoons enjoying the city—with someone local helping arrange things, getting me where I needed to go, and knowing a good place for lunch afterward.

That changes the whole experience. You have someone to ask, someone who knows the neighborhoods and local prices, and someone whose company you enjoy.

Your version might be a few appointments during a vacation. It might be apartment shopping, errands you’ve been putting off, or a day exploring with a local who knows more than the usual tourist stops.

Whether you live there or are coming for a visit, I know people in Panama City and Medellín who have helped me do these things. Tell me what you’d like to accomplish, and I’ll see whether I can arrange a useful introduction.

A LOCAL PERSON IN YOUR CORNER

Local-assistant setup

$75 setup fee

I’ll review your request, confirm a suitable contact’s availability, and arrange a private introduction. Routine coordination and one follow-up to confirm arrangements are included.

Your assistant’s time, transportation, and expenses are agreed and paid separately. You and the assistant agree on the services before booking. Our contacts primarily speak Spanish and use translation apps for everyday communication; tell me if you need English-speaking support.

No payment is due with your inquiry. I’ll confirm availability and the scope first. A consultation with me is neither included nor required.

A CONVERSATION WITH DONALD

Talk it through.

$250 per hour

Considering medical travel, working through a business idea, or facing a situation where you suspect there’s a better way to approach things?

Bring me what you’re working through. We can discuss your options, question assumptions, and explore practical next steps—drawing on my experience in business, real estate, and life across different places.

Tell me a little about your situation before booking so I can confirm whether I’m a useful person to talk with. If someone else would be better suited to help, I’ll tell you.

I share experience and perspective, not professional medical, legal, tax, or investment advice. I don’t offer relocation services; where a specialist is needed, I can try to suggest a contact.

What would you like to accomplish?

This opens a draft in your email app. You review it and send it to Donald. Nothing is submitted by this page, and this is not a booking.

Please don’t include medical records, passport details, or sensitive health information. A general description is enough. Translation apps aren’t a substitute for the clinic’s appropriate language support when discussing treatment or consent.
