I originally took this trip to Panama to celebrate my friend's birthday, but it ended up becoming much more than just a celebration trip. This was the trip that set the tone for how my friend group travels today and brought us closer together. Since then, we've modeled most of our trips after the same formula for example we experience the local culture through food/drink tastings or fun classes, museums or cultural sites, fitting in at least one excursion, and ending the day with a fun local nightlife spot. It helps us get the most out of every destination we visit. Panama was the trip that started it all, and to this day it remains one of my favorite places and a destination I would happily return to.

With a strong interest in maritime history, I recently saw that Cherish Tours was offering its Blissful Panama trip. The itinerary included a diverse blend of cultural experiences plus some down time at an ecolodge all while supporting Cherish’s mission of empowering female owned or managed businesses. It was travel with a purpose at its finest!

I visited this area on vacation through a package offered by Dolphin Blue Paradise, an eco-resort on the coast of Isla San Cristobal. My itinerary included two nights in Casco Viejo, Panama City, and four nights at Dolphin Blue Paradise.
