Panama has got it all. Rainforests, mountains, beaches, a modern city, the canal and people from all over the world. Welcome to the most multicultural and exciting place in Central America.

I have lived in Panama and maintain very close links there. This will not be just a tourist or an expat oriented lens, but I will also focus on everyday life in Panama. I already run PanamaFAQ where you can find additional information.
