PHOTO ESSAY: Medellín, ‘The City of Eternal Spring’

Paul Fowler October 4, 2011

Medellín is one of the most up and coming cities in the world, and is rapidly gaining a reputation as one of the most desirable places to live. Not only is it one of the fashion capitals of Latin America, one of the most progressive cities in the continent and home of some of Colombia’s most exciting artistic movements, it’s also home to some of the friendliest people in the world. Oh, and it has almost perfect weather. All year round.

Paul is an Englishman with a longstanding love of travel, tea and quality beer. His first trip was to Bosnia & Herzegovina and it was there, wading in some waterfalls near Mostar with just a litre of cheap beer and some bread in his belly, that he was bitten by the travel bug. After many more trips and a spell working in London, Paul relocated to Buenos Aires for some months before moving to Colombia. He's been here, knocking back 'guaro', for about 2 years now.
