ABOUT
WHY PANAMA?
Hi, I’m Brownie—the voice behind Roaming Routes.
I started this blog after more than two decades of traveling regularly to Panama—on solo trips, family getaways, and everything in between. Over the years, I found myself answering the same questions for friends and family: Where should we stay? What’s actually worth doing? Where can I find a good empanada? Eventually, I realized… I had the answers, and they were worth sharing.
Roaming Routes is my way of giving you the real scoop—not just the glossy Instagram version of Panama, but the practical, grounded, this-is-what-I-wish-I-knew version. I focus on firsthand recommendations, local flavor, and useful details that help you plan a trip that feels easy, inspiring, and a little more connected to the places you visit.
If you’re looking for a tropical paradise that mixes city energy with laid-back beaches, world-class fruit stands, snorkeling, waterfalls, and genuinely warm people—Panama might be your place. And I’m here to help you figure that out.
Thanks for being here. I hope Roaming Routes helps you travel with confidence—and maybe fall a little in love with Panama too.
