I’m writing at the moment from the UK, where I’ve returned for the Christmas period. It’s the first time a lot of my friends have seen me for a while. After the usual small-talk a couple of talking points usually crop up. First, ‘is it safe out there?’, and second, ‘I thought you’d be more […]

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.
Hello readers of the Colombia Travel Blog. Today we’re joining the massive internet protest against the SOPA law. Help us stop SOPA and keep the internet free of censorship – the new law damages artists, businesses, technological development and much more and we at See Colombia Travel simply cannot imagine a world without free internet […]
They say the wrong decision is better than no decision. It’s a mantra that can save you a great deal of time and effort if you apply it frequently. There are times, however, when you’ll have a decision to make and, frankly, there won’t be a wrong decision. What a delightful conundrum. –> Colombia Dolar […]
Last year our friends at Off2Colombia travelled to La Guajira in Colombia and gathered some truly remarkable footage of the region. It’s a little explored place on earth thanks to it being difficult to reach, but we hope with the help of their video more people will be drawn to exploring the area. It’s thanks to […]
You probably don’t know, but I came home for Christmas this year, back to the UK. I’ve currently spent 3 weeks in and around London and have enjoyed myself a great deal. Still, even with how busy I’ve been I still find myself missing Colombia… –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Of course, I’ll be back […]
The cover of the 2012 edition of the Footprint Travel Guides’ Colombia Handbook features a quote from British travel guru Michael Palin: –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– “Sets the pace for the rest to follow.” When it comes to guidebooks for Colombia, Palin’s words couldn’t ring truer. Not only do Footprint bring their editions out […]
We’ve spent so much time celebrating and feeling pretty happy with all our achievements last year so we thought it was about time we brought our feet firmly down to the ground and took a look at what we didn’t get right last year. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Don’t get me wrong, we love […]
2012 promises to be a huge year for Colombia. The country was recently announced as one of the best destinations in the world for the coming year by National Geographic and that was just the tip of the iceberg for the country which saw huge amounts of publicity during 2011 (with our own humble site being […]
Only a few days until Christmas and we at See Colombia Travel are getting very excited. Since many of us are foreign, each year we learn a great deal about Christmas here in Colombia, and how it differs from back home. We’ve already written about Colombian Christmas traditions, so we thought it’d be nice to […]
When it comes to the end of the year we enjoy reflecting. We at the Colombia Travel Blog paticuarly enjoy reflecting in a handy list format which is then ordered by preference. Confused? I’m talking about Top 5 lists. We’ve had many, many lists of ‘5 things…’ or ‘Top 5…’ and, frankly, we love them. […]
