Squiz the World goes to… Panama
Each fortnight, we give the world globe a spin and see where we land. Then we take the kids of Australia on an audio excursion to visit that country and its people.
Join your captain, Christie Kijurina, on an audio adventure to Panama, a skinny, S-shaped country known as the “Bridge of the World, Heart of the Universe”. Discover how giant ships climb a watery staircase through the rainforest, meet golden frogs that wave to one another, and learn why the famous Panama hat isn’t actually Panamanian. Buckle up… we’re taking off for Panama!
