Life, Heart, and Soul

Since 2011, I have been traveling with the Panamanian national team. I remember it as if it was yesterday when we traveled to Costa Rica. That game was difficult since we did not win, but the joy was unique. Apart from it being my first game abroad, it was also the first time I left the country. 

After that trip, I have been to nine countries to watch the Panama team - Costa Rica, Honduras, El Salvador, Colombia, Argentina, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and the United States, and I was at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. The latter was the most rewarding of all since living the experience of seeing Panama in its first World Cup was priceless. 

I watch each game regardless of the result because my support is totally unconditional and that makes me follow my teams wherever they play. The province where I come from is rich in Antillean food, and whenever I can, I invite my friends to my home to eat the food I prepare for them.
