Van Life Panama - Our 1st Day in Cerro Punta, Panama

[@g-mabetty3088]

Panama is clean and beautiful. I love the village and their community. Happy you met up with the Vandersons.

[@fourthdeconstruction]

I don't know but we want to see more of how people live, food, cities, etc. Beautiful green scenes and meeting "friends" are nice but we want to see more from the country.

[@wandacraig8286]

Loved how Vanna stopped to smell the flowers. And hey, I noticed who else is loosing weight Mr. Curt! Good for you too! Glad you've been reunited with the VAndersons again! Beautiful countryside!

[@robertochu5337]

cerro punta and volcan are normally the farming parts of the province of chiriqui and feed the whole country almost

[@maryheller8560]

Looks absolutely stunning! I was just commenting on the Vandersons video about a unique feature of Panama a friend of mine, who lived there for 10yrs and just moved back to the States told me about. You'll have to ask if them. I love it when y'all and the Vandersons get together! Such good people, fun times. Panama looks just so beautiful!

[@Jana-wz7dr]

Curt love how you described the fields like a patchwork quilt. I love flying over fields for exactly that reason.

[@SnowAndCurt]

JANA!! Welcome to our KZbin Membership Fam! Your support is much appreciated!

[@Tom-qx3oq]

Your weight loss is immediately apparent Snow, you too Curt. Good job. Happy trails.

[@SnowAndCurt]

Thanks, Tom!

[@donaldcain7218]

I love your video of Panama Cerro Punta. Vibrant, well narrated, and very interesting. I was impressed how you two made it so interesting.

[@orawancarlile6192]

Best travelling is with driving for sure. Thank you so much both of you. Have fun and travel safely.

[@the.vandersons]

It's great to be traveling together again!! DOUBLE VANNING 🚐🚐🎉

[@lanastockwell1016]

You guy are the best van lifers to follow .

[@marymurphy5069]

Have you ever watch The Nomadic Movement they now live in Panama That would be fun if you visited them. Love your channel and love watching your travels. You both are looking great

[@lonia.5283]

I found the hanging laundry quite funny. We only see one house, but laundry was hanging for a whole village!😂 Please Curt, when you go on trails, take your walkie-talkie and your drone with you, as some food and water. Apparently some hikers have already got lost on these trails in Panama. Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon were Dutch students who disappeared on 1 April 2014, while hiking the El Pianista trail in Panama (which is only about 60 miles from Cerro Punta). They were found dead. I followed this very sad, and disturbing case. 😥

[@seriouslyomg1234]

The drone shots are amazing! Wow Panama looks incredible! Thank you for sharing 🤩

[@SnowAndCurt]

Thanks for watching!

[@craftytraveler9238]

Thanks for the video. Beautiful area. Glad you have net up with the Vandersons again.

[@Steve_the_Backroader]

Have fun exploring the area around Boquete! Here are a couple suggestions for your to do list. One of the more unusual sights you will see in Panama, the Iglesias San Francisco de la Montana (church) in the village of San Francisco just north of Santiago. The Azuero Peninsula and the beach town of Cambutal. El Valle de Anton, a small town INSIDE a dormant volcano. Enjoy.

[@cathyplatin3906]

What an awesome and beautiful hike! LOVE that you’re with the Vandersons again! Panama looks beautiful! Have only been in Panama City which really surprised me how modern it was. The old town is great! Have fun and thanks so much for sharing your journey! Have followed you since Puerto Escondido which is our Winter home. Hope to return this Winter but they are getting slammed with Covid right now which is really sad…

[@SnowAndCurt]

Oh no! Keeping all of the kind folks in Puerto in out thoughts! That town will always be special to us!

[@cathyplatin3906]

@@SnowAndCurt Yeah!!! It’s a really special place. Was happy you got to spend time there! Beaches are closed in Puerto now and they have asked businesses to close. Lots of people dying at home because of no hospital care. If the numbers continue to be bad, we may head further South which is why I am keeping a close eye on Panama. Hope you can make it over to some islands. What is the Covid situation like in Panama? WAs glad to see Danny getting his vaccine. I spent time in Panama City a few years back, returning from Colombia. I couldn’t believe how modern it was!!! Loved the Old Town! Thanks for all your postings. Am really loving following your journey…

[@pattin4015]

Love those cat walks in the lush greenery & flowers... Yes, weird..heater in Panama.. You heard about the crazy July snowstorms in Brazil, right? Don't know what weather to expect these days!

[@morgananderson9647]

SO great to see you with the Vandersons!!! You all make such a good team!

[@susantroxell5261]

I love hearing the birds in the forest.

[@jodellstevenson6207]

So fun to see the Four of you having a good time. Another wonderful video. Yeah!!!

[@bambiharzott2121]

Vanna looks so good in front of red flowers. U should take pictures of Vanna. It would look good in a cat magazine.

[@mariocooke5463]

this is where I would move to in Panama, Volcan

[@elsaparsons4444]

I love how green and lush the mountain areas are. I’m looking forward to seeing what the prices are for camping, food etc, as well as your experience of travelling around the country

[@SnowAndCurt]

Us too!

[@findinAway]

Love watching your adventures, how long will you be in Panama? Would be cool a meet with Kayley and Jordan from Nomadic Movement. They traveled in their Skoolie bus, now live in Panama. Lots of ❤️❤️❤️❤️ and 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 for 🐈🐈

[@CC-xk6cp]

Hi again S&C You have the best luck finding amazing places in the mountains up with the clouds! So lush and green and a bit chilly too. It's been to your advantage the places have pretty much been closed but you've been allowed! Fun to meet up with the VANDERSONS again. No doubt you will come up with another great plan. Thx as always for sharing and an hardly wait til your next surprise! Stay safe and enjoy...

[@sammayet9002]

Awesome, amazing and beautiful 😍

[@AnjaniShukla-yc9vs]

Beautiful place

[@SophiaReedIsCool]

Awesome you guys were in my hometown ! Sad you did not get to see the the orchids farm.

[@crissy9792]

Beautiful forest area. Loved the clothes of the locals strung over the fencing. Safe journey xx

[@SnowAndCurt]

We always love driving thru and seeing how the locals live. I can tell you are backing up and watching lots of vids... Hope you stumble across one where we get video of the ladies washing clothes in the rivers.

[@crissy9792]

@@SnowAndCurt Yup on catch up here x

[@ib14juli93]

First impression from Panama is very good, nice surprise the Vandersons, how are the prices there, I am curious. Thanks again for this nice video, especially the green forest 👍💪

[@griseldarivera8639]

Love your channel!!! Snow, as someone who struggles with weight, your journey inspires me. If you find yourself near Boquete, check out the Nomadic Movement channel. They are former van lifers that are creating a homestead there and also run a coffee business. They buy their organic beans from the local indigenous population.

[@hecsonbecher1611]

Wow P a n a m a is a milestone good for you 8 countries

[@lobeckdr]

Hello from Bristol, UK! Looking forward to your next adventure today!

[@SnowAndCurt]

Hello to you over there in the UK!

[@johnsymonstcu]

The Panamanian countryside is gorgeous. What a nice change to be in a cool climate, especially since it's August in Central America. The lodge at the campsite was so warm and welcoming and of course it was great seeing all of you having a nice meal and a game night. Take care and have a rewarding week. 👍🤗❤🚐🙏🌎

[@SnowAndCurt]

The cooler weather was a nice surprise!

[@chasinggeckos8843]

The channel Nomadic Movement is also in Panama. Looks beautiful

[@wendybirmingham8968]

Here I was waiting to hear how your new AC works and instead it's heater weather! :) Great video. Love the street meats stops. Nothing better than eating local foods prepared by the locals for themselves. Once in Peru we bought homemade empanadas from a man who was taking them to a local park. So good. As I seem to be on a food focus path, wondering if you've found any spices during your travels that you purchased to use while cooking in your home? Can't wait to see what else in coming up in the next video. Enjoy!

[@SnowAndCurt]

We were surprised by the cool weather too!! So far, no crazy spices!

[@mathieutallard6328]

From Costa rica, i went to Boca del toro and thats all i saw of Panama . Found the place to be a tourists trap. Didn t stay long and went back. The Budgetteers ended their Central america trip in the San blass area wich seems to be amazing. People living life naked and free. But of course, access is limited for tourists....

[@evabyrum3327]

8 countries for you guys and the kitties!! Woohoo 🎉 time to celebrate!🍾🎉❤️

[@SnowAndCurt]

Yes!!

[@stephaniehartmann250]

You had to run the heat?!! 😂Panama looks beautiful, good to see you met up with the Vandersons.

[@SnowAndCurt]

YES WE DID! Crazy, huh?

[@charlesburrell3753]

The Vandersons!

[@kymcrowart7876]

You guys are so awesome

[@jomcd2073]

So far so good for Panama. It looks stunning:))

[@SnowAndCurt]

It's going to be a fun country

[@whatsonyourneedles1470]

Love your journey. Will you meet up with Kaylee and Jordan of Nomadic Movement?

[@deanhodgson2087]

Just ran into your Baja video a year ago. You guys have lost a lot of weight. Good job and keep it going.

[@stephainerose8765]

🌴Stephanie 👣 Rose 🌹 here, from Florida 🦈 Thanks 4 letting me tag along! I never thought of Panama as being cool weather or cold! Was that due to elevation?

[@SnowAndCurt]

The camp was probably around 6000-7000 feet.

[@stephainerose8765]

@@SnowAndCurt how crazy is that too cold for this Florida girl LOL! But it is nice to visit when you know you're leaving! God's natural AC 😆

[@pamelag2223]

So lush there, great video!

[@SnowAndCurt]

It really is!

[@iluvstuff6618]

Hey guys 💕 WOW. How lucky are we to experience parts of this epic journey not just once but TWICE when you and the VANDERSONS! meet up 😄 I so enjoy sharing the same experience through 2 different versions. It's AWESOME ‼️ I'm with ya Curt...my ❤️rate would be 💹 ..... not just from excitement but also from exhaustion. Also it would take until 🌃 because I would 🛑 all the time taking 6000 photos(and never even make it to the destination 😁) That forest is like Jurassic park. Did you see the size of the ferns😱 ? I 😍 when moss grows on things. That sign! Beautiful 💟💟(I saw the picnic table in Vandersons video) Double D‼️(I'm yelling it with a deep voice) Could be a guide for"extreme" tourists! The next Bear Grylls 😉 but why is it that Emily IS usually 1st....🤔 Snow......😍 (you know it!) PANAMA! is gorgeous. Now get your chores done and LET'S GO!! Safe travels 💞

[@jasonwelle]

I did that trail while staying in Boquete. Did not see a quetzal. I think it's false advertising. ;-)

[@kathyc6698]

Curt! Watch out for snakes! Surely Panama has snakes in the jungle....any other wild animals. Would make an interesting topic for video. I’m sure I could google it but would love to see you guys do a video

[@SnowAndCurt]

Will do

[@manny-perez]

Snow, how are you doing; from your face It looked to me that you were in pain? Be careful with that knee!

[@SnowAndCurt]

The knee always hurts... Counting down the days until surgery can hopefully be the beginning of the end of the pain.

[@bambiharzott2121]

I think G was asking for a taste of that hot dog. But not good for cats .

[@easteryeko9742]

To answer your question about the telephone poles. Its the same in my country. The onr who made the road and the one who made the poles are two different companies and so they have to wait for the otber company to remove the poles xd in the meantime theh just build around it xd if it helps....we have trees in the middle of the road xd Edit: waiting for the AC review but panama says no lol

[@SnowAndCurt]

HA! Yep... heater weather! LOL

[@ivorykeys1566]

Please please tell us how she got the name "Snow" ?

[@NinjaOldwars]

I saw Jackets and a fire place how cold was it ?

What is the name of the hostel you stayed in Antigua?

Antigueño --- it was a home away from home! We loved it! The owners are great!

[@joem.5946]

hell yeah, street meat!

[@carloslucin3101]

we are in santiago de veraguas please stop if you can

[@SnowAndCurt]

We will try--- but, tight on time in Panama because we have to deal with all of the shipping requirements to get the van to Colombia!

[@Chris-ut6eq]

8 country Kitty? They need little kitty passports to document their journey. Think the border staff would stamp a Kitty passport? :)

[@boatdesigner12]

Eating road meat. No sanitation guidelines. Aren't you afraid of getting something nasty growing in your belly?

[@al1665]

Been doing that for almost 50 years in Panama, never gotten sick
