Backpacking Central America: Raw Travel & Real Adventures
Central America is made up of Guatemala, Honduras, Belize, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. For this blog, I have included the Dominican Republic, which is, for now, the only country that I have visited in the Caribbean.
I grew up with there being just 1 continent, the Americas. Some list 2 continents, North America (everywhere north of and including Panama) and South America,(everywhere south of and including Colombia) but for the purpose of this blog, I separate them into regions, hence the North, Central and South America.
If i ever get to visit more of the countries in the Caribbean Sea and the 23 dependent territories, or non-sovereign states, I will re organise everything a bit.
