I found an AMAZING watering hole in Panama but even more incredible was what was present at the campsite... what a day motorcycling through Panama
Checking it out. How many GoPros do you have? Two. Two drones. One drone.
So I'm in the beautiful town of Boquete, Panama and today I'm headed out for some
Panamanian explorations which landed me in a really unique natural site and a camping spot
with a surprise that turned me into a little kid again. So here we go.
Speaking of kid, I've been thinking about that kid-like energy lately.
I recently shared a vlog about how I've brushed up against burnout which has led me to
asking myself some questions like the why behind everything I'm doing and how I might get back to
that kid-like energy again. Put my jacket and pants, strapped it to the bike there and yeah
leaving the bike here just pretty much on the road and it's just a really quick walk.
It looks so nice look. Okay I'm sure that you can't see how beautiful this water actually is
but it's pretty clear and green and can you see like it's hot out it's humid
so I think this water is gonna feel really good.
So cool you just jump off the side of the rock. My shoelaces are undone which is pretty stupid.
You can see like the water's pretty clear not that clear but you can see there's like here
the water's clear the camera doesn't see it but it's so nice. Super shallow here you know just
like inches and then it's like boom you go kind of into this canyon and like very deep over here.
I mean it really just looks like the earth just cracked apart. I guess that's what canyons are
right? It's so cool. I love it.
I have like a little bit of a weird thing about swimming and um it's a fear. It's a weird fear
about dark water. The water is dark and uh I gotta tell you I was a little freaked out in that
the mind was like starting to freak out but I just you gotta learn how to settle the mind and I
really do like jumping but it's like dark water and then I was the only one in there and I just
got freaked out. Okay I'm gonna go to down this little area over here because um it looks really
cool. It's almost like a little jacuzzi part where you sit in the rapids.
You get the rapids on the back you get it and then it gets really deep.
Oh my god this place is just so fun. I mean jumping off ledges. The locals are just
amazing divers and flippers off and like playing games and stuff.
Such beautiful water. It's like hot outside. The water is like
perfectly cool. Oh this place is amazingly wonderful.
Now I'm just gonna put my motorcycle clothes um back on because it's hot and all dry so
yeah that's it.
Where are you from?
They say there's an all-encompassing energy all around us and that as a kid
we are connected to that energy within us and when you've lost connection nature
is a conduit back to center. Look at this it's like a little
this is really pretty.
How's it going?
Oh my goodness sweetest man ever.
Mucho.
I made it. We made it on my bike. He suggested we camp
under here. There's like an electricity outlet. How fancy is that? Look at this huge field.
So it's actually a like um it's owned by the church. It's like a missionary camp I guess.
So they host missionaries here. It's really nice. It's really pleasant and
oh my god I was surprised. I gotta show you something that is on the property that is
really exciting but I think I'll set up camp first because I probably have like 20 more minutes of
daylight. Okay I'm on my bike. I just realized I had mascara like all over my eyes like a raccoon
but I want to show you something. This is really exciting for me. I see some right over here but
I'm not going to show you that yet. We're gonna walk over here and find some better ones to show
you. Look how big this yard is. I'm the only one here but um it's quite a nice property
and it has something really really special. Okay here we go. On the ground here what this is
a whole bunch of mango trees. 50 of them on the floor here. I think this will be my dinner.
The other one was like small mangoes. Now these are the big ones that you
um often see in the states. The most perfect mango. Wow. Look at this. This is a long one. Look
how long that is. There's apparently 26 different varieties of mango. Not just 26 trees. 26 varieties
and there's probably like hundreds of trees. This is also a different style. These are like medium
kind of like a medium one. Oh my god look. You see how many mangoes on the ground there?
Isn't that awesome? Oh my god. This is so fun. Okay I'm dropping mangoes by the second.
I'm gonna go back to my tent.
Oh your ears. This one and this one. So cute. I don't know if you can see
how many mangoes are here. I don't know how many I have but they definitely have filled up my whole
shirt. I feel like such a kid doing this. This is the ultimate kid move. I think there's something
to this kid-like energy. Perhaps it leads to everything we've ever wanted. We see evidence
of abundance around the world like in the mango tree. For a human that abundance is expressed
through synchronicity and flow. To experience it my inkling is well we go back to playing again
like a kid. Wait I just gotta tell you the mangoes the different varieties they taste so different.
It's so crazy. They have like this long one it's like a flowery flavor.
They're so different. I love it so much. It's so cool.
