Hi there. My name is Juan Jose, I live in Panama and have been a stamp collector since my childhood. I started collecting with my dad, who gave me his repeats which I then put in my album. Later I started getting my own stamps. When I left for medical school I fell out of the hobby, but since my father's death I started collecting again, this time with my teen daughter, who enjoys it a lot. I mainly collect Panama and United States stamps, world stamps (with special interest in Japan, Mexico, Spain and our country's neighbors, Costa Rica and Colombia). This is by far the nicest stamp discussion board I've come across. Hope to see you all while reading these pages.
