My Panamá Experience
July 28, 2024by: Jaelyn Tramel - United StatesProgram: Volunteering & Spanish Immersion in Panama - High SchoolI had an amazing time in Panamá. I lived with a great host family that welcomed me and two other Americans into their home. I learned what the day-to-day life is like for people in a small, agricultural community, and improved my Spanish through conversations.
