Panama

Back in June 2018, I was in communication with Jules from One Bag Vagabond. He was looking for a guest post revolving around the theme of “Travel far and light for minimalism”. I had traveled on both sides of the minimalist aisle.

I entered the nearby Casa Sucre café, and slid past a mature French couple and even older wooden chairs to order a coffee in Panama at the wooden counter.

Travel provides life lessons and going overland to Bocas del Toro, the border crossing provided students a more immediate sense of the differences between two Spanish speaking neighboring countries.

Panama City marked the end of another educational journey with students to either Latin America or Europe. The majority of students agreed that Panama City was more positive than Bocas del Toro with explorations of Old Panama, interactions with more Panamanians, and the impressive manmade structure of the Panama Canal.
