1 week ago | lonelyplanet.com | Rosie Bell

Every visit to Panama City should begin in its historic, soulful old town. Known variously as Casco Viejo, Casco Antiguo and (the lesser-used) San Felipe, this neighborhood is always the hippest part of this cosmopolitan city. And it’s where just about everyone falls in love with Panama’s capital.

1 week ago | discoverysessions.com | Rosie Bell

While most travelers race straight for the Panama Canal, Panama’s capital has other riches like sloth sightings in the middle of the city and islands that feel like they belong in the South Pacific, not 30 minutes from the skyline. Panama City is humid, chaotic, colorful, and it’s criminally underrated. It’s where old-world charm meets cutting-edge cool, where you can sip a $1 cup of ceviche at a fish market or a $15 cocktail in a centuries-old convent-turned-hotel.

Jan 24, 2025 | lonelyplanet.com | Rosie Bell

With pyramids, crystal-clear cenotes, bioluminescent lagoons, world-famous museums and blinding blue beaches, Mexico’s best experiences are worth writing home about.

Life design (actively curating the kind of lifestyle you want) has taken on increasing importance. Experiences too replaced things as the pinnacle of success and somewhere along the way, the digital nomad movement took off. The more people joined the nomadic work train, the more services cropped up to cater to them.

“Anyone want to meet up for some steak?” This was the message posted by a man named David in the Digital Nomads Buenos Aires Facebook group five years ago.
