Solo travel experience

I went in May solo and had a wonderful time. Went to Bocas and it was beautiful. Stayed at Skully's. In Panama City stayed in Casco Viejo, a wonderful area. I walked around alone. There were a lot of police guards there and I felt safe.

I loved Panama. The city is gorgeous and the people are amazing. I went to Bocas Del Toro as well and loved it. Stayed at Selina’s hostel in Panama City and at Skully's Skullys hostel in Bocas del Toro. I definitely recommend seeing the canal.
