This week on the show we are diving into life and travel in Panama City, Panama!
From November of the last year to this March we based ourselves in Panama City and during that time we had the chance to explore lots of different parts of the city and country!
Our time in Panama was cut short, so while there is still a ton on our bucket list for Panama we wanted to sit down to share some of our experience and what makes Panama a great place to live and explore!

This episode is brought to you in part by Casco Antiguo Language School. Casco Antiguo Language School offers Spanish language immersion programs in Latin America’s coolest neighborhood, Panama City, Panama’s Old Quarter, Casco Antiguo. Their 1 on 1 or Small Group classes allow you to get out of the classroom and learn Spanish in real-life settings. They also offer free social activities every such as sunset bike tour, salsa dancing, happy hour, and beach volleyball. The school is located in the heart of this incredible colonial neighborhood that’s also an UNESCO world heritage site. The school has a great social atmosphere and the teachers are incredible.
We have been studying Spanish at Casco Antiguo Spanish School since November and we have had the chance to work with 2 awesome language teachers and to meet other travelers learning Spanish from around the world. We have seen such an improvement in our Spanish since we started studying there, and the beauty is they also offer classes online via Skype / Zoom so we are actually back in Canada now but can continue classes online with the same teacher. During this crazy time, it has given our lives some sort of routine, which we are loving. If you are interested in learning Spanish, you can head on over to www.cascospanish.com to start your language learning journey.
