[@getfitwithchrys]

Hey guys thanks for watching! Excited to share more ❤ let me know if there’s other things you want to see/know

[@clintonhauck7893]

Wow! I love the video. Great job! You make excellent points. I am excited to see your video that discusses any racism you may or may not have found. My wife and I have been there several times. I am white, and she is from Nigerian dissent. We have never had an ounce of racism there so i hope your experience is just the same. 😀

[@getfitwithchrys]

Thank you for tuning in! I spoke about it a bit in part 2, but honestly my experience has been wonderful. I didn’t experience any direct outright racism. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWrNoWV6qKuWd9Ufeature=shared Overall my experience in Panamá was amazing !

[@kyanndraKlara]

[@joybeybeeluv4234]

Oh wow 3.5hr from ATL that’s not bad at all

[@getfitwithchrys]

@@joybeybeeluv4234 right ?! Definitely not bad !

[@jdmoore1007]

Great video, have fun. But wow, my expenses, costs here in Cozumel are a whole lot cheaper, safer too. Good luck.

[@getfitwithchrys]

Cozumel sounds amazing! Maybe I'll visit next! Panama City can be a bit more pricey than some other places but definitely a beautiful place to experience

[@coursecorrection4105]

What’s a great family friendly resort with beach access? I’ve read Reddit threads saying some of them aren’t clean as you expect.

[@getfitwithchrys]

I will say Panama City's City Center isn't really a beach town, but if you travel a bit further out I hear there are some really beautiful beaches. As for the resorts I can't really speak on those from a personal experience.

[@oscarn.kamm.5041]

Most resorts are located in the Pacific Coast. I have seen some videos about the cleanning. I haven´t experience it myself. Saturday and Sunday get a bit more crowdy, it may affect the customer experience. Near the city there is two resorts in Playa Bonita (Westin and Dreams), beach here is not the best. The other popular area is Playa Blanca Beach (here you can find Decameron, Riu, Playa Blanca Resort), also The Buenaventura Resort (more expensive) and Gran Evenia Bijao nearby. All of the above have beach access from the hotel. Just keep in mind that is in the Pacific Coast. There is no big resort in the Atlantic Coast. Best beaches are located in islands. (Pearl Islands, Bocas del Toro islands, other areas).

[@ReeMoni24]

Female traveling there solo on a scouting trip to see if this could be a retirement destination. Sounds like it’s relatively safe and affordable. Have you experienced any overt racism?

[@getfitwithchrys]

Part 2 will definitely answer these questions. Here I talk about safety and Your question inspired me to discuss racism, check it out Check out my new Video kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWrNoWV6qKuWd9U

[@Honmemr]

Hi, can you give the list of the places to stay, please? Thank you!🫶🏻

[@sharib4184]

Do you have links to the airbnbs you stayed in?

[@getfitwithchrys]

Oh yes, good idea I'll link them in the description

[@guillermogouldburn763]

How you know they're struggling to pay for food, girl? I love the video!

[@getfitwithchrys]

I had several people ask for food and change while walking in the area. Thanks for tuning in ❤

[@CharlieBrown0507]

@@getfitwithchrys You mean panhandlers???? You mean like the many you find here in Charlotte NC??? so what's your point??? Homeless and panhandlers are found everywhere. Have you been to Washington DC or NY city or LA (that's California), etc. etc. etc. ???? please

[@getfitwithchrys]

@@CharlieBrown0507 To answer your question, yes I’ve been to DC, and lots of other places in the states where there are people who need assistance. It’s sad that both in the states and abroad there are big differences in socioeconomic classes. In this video, i never assumed anyone was homeless. But to clarify, yes, there are homeless people here in Panama City, but I was actually referring to my personal experience staying in some places where there’s a stark difference in the luxury that places offer and the communities that they’re built in. Despite there being people in the community my Airbnbs were in who asked for food or money, I still never felt a sense of danger, but also understand that being mindful of my surroundings is important. Especially when some of my belongings could be viewed as valuable. I do encourage you to visit! There’s plenty of places to stay and lots of ways you can be involved in the community here in Panama City! It’s truly a beautiful place despite where anyone is socioeconomically.

[@CharlieBrown0507]

@@getfitwithchrys I guess you haven't heard of Gentrification. There is a reason that area is called "El Casco Viejo" or "El Casco Antiguo". It is old. Years ago, many of us Panamanians wouldn't consider walking in that area. But the area has gone and is going thru a lot of renovation. There is still much more to renovate but some residents refuse to leave. I guess it is the same as here in SC where many new communities are going up. Drive out of the community and you see the old neighborhoods with its old houses that look very dilapidated even for US standards. And to your point about stark difference, go to NYC, talk about luxury in one block and the next being so run down, is the total opposite.

[@cjayw]

​@@CharlieBrown0507she mentioned gentrification of the areas. Did you miss that part? This video is about awareness and personal experience.....

[@robertochu5337]

Best places to live in the city are, Costa Del este, Sana Maria, Albrook, Clayton, El cangrejo, Obarrio, Coco Del Mar and Gamboa, i do not recomend casco since its just a tourist place and party place.

[@getfitwithchrys]

Thank you!! This is great insight. Even though Ive only been here a short time Im definitely seeing how touristy Casco is ! This is a great list! I appreciate it
