Coffee expert Wilford Lamastus on the best cocktails, coffee shops and planning the perfect Panama getaway

Eat, Drink, Sleep, Repeat

In this week's episode, we talk to Wilford Lamastus Jr.—an award-winning Panama-based coffee producer—about work travels, where to find the best cocktail bars and coffee shops, and how he balances business while touring new cities. This conversation really made me want to book a ticket straight to Panama City and then spend a week or so exploring the country’s beaches and mountainous coffee regions. Give it a listen and let us know what you think!

Some destinations mentioned in this episode:

Boquete, San Blas, Playa Venao, Bocas del Toro, Isla Colon, Chiriqui and Panama City—all in Panama; Melbourne, Australia; Taipei; Riyadh; Houston, Texas; Miami, FL; and more…
