Like my South Africa trip, I kept a journal of daily shenanigans and other events throughout my stay in Panama. So again I will be recounting my tales as they appear in my journal since there was no electricity much of the time let alone Internet. Panama is a fascinating country and I have a new found respect for those who call the communities only accessible by foot or horse on sometime hazardous mud roads home. It was a life-changing journey with some of the most amazing people I’ve ever met.

So another early adventure begins; 4:30 AM early. This time, after months of planning and preparation, we are off to Panama to embark on adventures backpacking through the backcountry and working in local clinics. Ok well that’s what I think I’m getting into as I sit on the runway preparing for take-off. I am incredibly thankful that flight time this go around is a bearable few hours compared to what felt like eternity flying to and from South Africa. Honestly, I am not sure what awaits Will (my travel buddy this time) and I when we land.
