Hi! I'm planning on backpacking Central America from January to the end of May, and I've already done a lot of research, but I'd love to hear any comments, suggestions, or critiques! I tend to be a slow, long-term traveler, and I wish I had a bit more time, but I really want to end this leg of the trip by taking the 5-day San Blas Cruise from Panama to Colombia by the end of May, as it starts to get rainier in June. I tend to be a budget traveler, staying in hostels, cooking instead of going out to eat, etc., but once in a while I'll pay a little more for something more comfortable. For example, the Airbnb in Lake Aititlan and the San Blas boat trip will be some of the most expensive things on my itinerary - and other than those big things, I'll be on a tighter budget. 27F. Thank you!
