Costa Rica was one of the most unforgettable stops during my one-month journey through Central America. After traveling through cheaper countries in the region, Costa Rica immediately felt different. It was greener, more organized in many ways, more developed for tourism, and honestly, more expensive than I expected. But it was also one of those places where nature feels alive everywhere — misty mountains, volcano views, waterfalls, cloud forests, hanging bridges, hot springs

As a Filipino passport holder, Belize also re

Some countries are planned months ahead. Others quietly appear in the middle of a journey, almost like a bonus chapter. That was Panama for me. After finishing the Colombian part of my trip, I was flying back to the Caribbean when I realized that Panama sat perfectly along the route. Instead of treating it as just another transit point, I decided to make the most out of my stopover and turn it into a short but meaningful travel experience. Panama had always intrigued me. It s
