Local experience

Summer doesn't have to End. Come join me remote working in Panama City, Central America. The hub for all Americas. If you agree with me that our Summer wasn't as long as we hoped, then come to Central America and enjoy the warmth, sun and endless water possibilities with me. We will explore of course the Panama Canal but also the Old City and the islands nearby. We can hike up the small mountain and enjoy the view over the city and look for the special animals that Panama has to offer. I’m definitely looking for a sloth! I will also take a diving day and am happy for you to join me. If you've never dived but would like to get your Dive Licence, I can help arrange this for you. Of course we need to work, but we can enjoy this amazing city after work, on the weekend or during the day. I'm sure we can find a day off here and there.

About me! I'm Katrina or Trina for short. I moved from Australia almost 9 years ago to follow my passion of travelling. I've been living in Hamburg in Germany all this time but have been travelling every month to new destinations. Mostly alone, but also with friends. So I'm confident in my skills of travelling. I went on my first JMT as a Trip Mate and loved the experience and connections, that I immediately felt that is a great experience and would like others to join me on my next adventure. I can work remotely in my finance role but also can teach English online (my second career). In between these two careers I did a Certificate IV in Tourism. My ticket is booked, all you need to do is book yours now

Details about the accommodation: I've found a Comformtable Suite with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. One room that has 3 single beds. It is well connected with buses and close to a Metro station. On Airbnb it is 4.95 from 20 reviews. Amazing! We will be staying in a house that is fully furnished with a kitchen and all the necessary utensils to cook. We can share the cooking. On the weekend we can enjoy the local cuisine that Panama and Spanish food has to offer. Keep me posted if you have any questions about the trip in the Q&A section!

San Felipe

Day 1-14

Casco Antiguo (Spanish for Old Quarter), also known as Casco Viejo or San Felipe, is the historic district of Panama City. Completed and settled in 1673, it was built following the near-total destruction of the original Panamá city, Panamá Viejo in 1671, when the latter was attacked by pirates. It was designated a World Heritage Site in 1997.

Calzada de Amador

Day 14

Enjoy one of Panama City’s most fun-filled green spaces. The rock extracted when the Panama Canal was being built between 1904 to 1914 was used to build the causeway. The road extends 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) out into the Pacific Ocean, linking the mainland with the islands of Naos, Perico, and Flamenco. From 1920 to 1980, fortifications were erected here to protect the southern entrance to the Panama Canal. It was part of a military base first called Fort Grant and later named Fort Amador.

Amador Causeway

Day 14

Lets ride a bike along the Amador Causeway and watch the sunset in a warm 25 degrees. The rock extracted when the Panama Canal was being built between 1904 to 1914 was used to build the causeway. The road extends 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) out into the Pacific Ocean, linking the mainland with the islands of Naos, Perico, and Flamenco.

Miraflores Locks

Day 14

The Panama Canal is an artificial 82 km waterway in Panama that connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean, cutting across the Isthmus of Panama, and is a conduit for maritime trade. Canal locks at each end lift ships up to Gatun Lake, an artificial freshwater lake 26 meters above sea level, created by damming up the Chagres River, and Lake Alajuela to reduce the amount of excavation work required for the canal, and then lower the ships at the other end. An average of 200,000,000 L of fresh water are used in a single passing of a ship. The Panama Canal shortcut greatly reduces the time for ships to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, enabling them to avoid the lengthy, hazardous Cape Horn route around the southernmost tip of South America via the Drake Passage or Strait of Magellan. It is one of the largest and most difficult engineering projects ever undertaken.

Taboga Island

Day 14

Isla Taboga, or the Island of Flowers, is a volcanic island characterized by rich tropical plant life, as well as beautiful beaches and soft sand. Located on the Pacific side of the country in the Gulf of Panama, this majestic island is a short 20 kilometers from the capital, making it the best one-day getaway from Panama City. Take in the beauty of the island by starting your trip with a hike to one of Isla Taboga’s highest points, Cerro Vigia or Cerro de la Cruz. Next, explore the colorful and historic Spanish-founded town, which is also home to the second oldest church in the Western hemisphere. After all that exploration, take a load off at one of the laid-back Taboga Island beaches, or grab a drink at one of the quaint beach bars nearby.
