Panama: My new favorite destination

In Panama, I learned how to find myself. The person who I am now is entirely different from who I was before the trip. This is because Broadreach taught me to take risks and step outside of my comfort zone, whether it was surfing in Santa Catalina, whitewater rafting on the Chiriquí river, rock climbing in Boqueté, or snorkeling around Isla Iguana and exploring Coiba. I have always been afraid of snorkeling but now it is one of my favorite things to do and I can't wait to get back on the surfboard and fall off less times than I did when we were learning in Panama. I also learned the basics of photography and was able to add a technical element to my photography skills. Overall, the trip was life-changing and I can't wait to visit the amazing country of Panama again to explore, take more photos, try new things, and do community service- with the friends that will last me a lifetime.
