This was my 1st trip with Passport Poppin and I must say, it was a fun filled and adventurous trip. Akeia and Chasmin did an amazing job with organizing this Panama trip 🇵🇦 from beginning to end. The hotel, food, and excursions were on point. It was great meeting new people from different states, while aiding one another to concur our fears. I can't wait to see what Passport Poppin has instored for my 50th🥳 Birthday Celebration next month.

Panama 2024
A group trip with a collective of people, many of whom you've never met can seem daunting, scary, intimidating, yet still intriguing. I've never been on a trip of this nature to this scale and I did not know what to expect. I'll start with the most important part. I had a blast and would certainly recommend this group to anyone itching to venture on a trip, who may be on the fence.
The stay:
The hotel was amazing and not just from a comfort level. The convenience to get to all necessary locations was second to none. The art and beauty of the hotel interior really made you want to explore the and take in the beauty. The 24 hour pool, which kept the water temperature regulated through all hours of the day, was amazing as it also had a bar for people to purchase drinks to enjoy poolside.
The events:
Have you ever been on a trip to a new country and only felt like a tourist? I know I have but with this trip, I got to experience the beauty of Panama in ways I would have never imagined. We experienced the fun that you would expect on a group trip, but being able to visit an indigenous tribe, walk through a legitimate rainforest, only to be reach a beautiful waterfall that we all were able to experience in person was an unforgettable experience. Going to the indigenous tribes community, and be welcomed, in their unique language that requires a Spanish interpreter to even interpret to English, and then witness a ceremonial dance with music was something I could not think to ask for on my own. All of that was just one day of this trip. There's so many things I could detail but I want to leave some surprises for whoever reads this and decides to book a trip.
The people:
Passport Poppin has some amazing hosts. Akeia and Chasmin were nothing short of amazing. They made sure to make everyone feel welcome. They made sure to remember everyone's names so no one just felt like a random person on a trip. Akeia being, at the very least, bilingual was also an amazing add as she could not only speak directly to the natives, but help any of us who are lacking in the ability to communicate as effectively as we may want to with our limited language knowledge.
Another testament to their hosting is their ability, and willingness, to listen to the group. There's many hosts who would plan something, and regardless of what the group wants, they move forward with no adjustments. They are not those hosts. When the group realized our bus the first day was too small for our comfort, we were awoken to a larger bus the very next day. On the first day when hunger struck and the schedule dictated that lunch would be another few hours later, they called an audible to allow a group of people to be satiated and satisfied, and I believe this shows how their focus is the group.
Overall:
While I have known The Hike Crew, who partnered with Passport Poppin for this trip, I had never met anyone from Passport Poppin. After leaving this trip, I genuinely feel that I made some new friends. I have memories that will not leave me. I have a huge respect for this group, that is Black Woman owned and led, creating spaces for people to safely experience new things with new people. If you take anything from what I wrote, just book and go on a trip.

Panama Poppin’ 2024
I recently had the pleasure of joining Passport Poppin’s Panama trip, organized in conjunction with The Hike Crew, and I can confidently say it was an experience of a lifetime. As a Black woman-owned travel company, Passport Poppin exceeded all my expectations and provided a rich, immersive travel experience that was culturally enlightening, incredibly fun and very active.
The itinerary was a blend of adventure and cultural exploration. We hiked through the breathtaking rainforest, visited historical sites, and indulged in the vibrant local cuisine.
What truly set this trip apart was the sense of community and camaraderie. Traveling with a group of like-minded individuals, led by passionate, and knowledgeable local guides from Panama made the experience even more special. The guides were not only well-versed in the local culture and history but also made sure everyone felt included, safe and valued.
Passport Poppin’, allowed us to focus on enjoying the experience rather than worrying about the details.
Passport Poppin’s commitment to promoting Black travel and creating inclusive travel experiences is truly inspiring. This trip to Panama was more than just a vacation; it was a celebration of culture, community, and the joy of exploration.
Thank you, Passport Poppin and The Hike Crew, for an incredible journey in Panama. I can’t wait to join you on another adventure!

I must say I am so pleased with how well Mekayla planned our trip to Thailand. From start to finish everything was organized and she checked in daily! From myself and my 7 guests, we appreciate you! Next up, is Jamaica!
