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.
At the risk of offending people on both sides of this discussion, Colombian food and British food aren’t internationally known for their experimental or sophisticated nature.

So in honour of non-Valentine’s Day, here’s our homage to the country’s most enduring relationships. We love it […]
How do we celebrate Valentine’s Day in Colombia? Simply put, we don’t. Sure, restaurants will see increased traffic and florists in Colombia will sell more flowers, but generally it’s all a rather subdued affair. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– It’s pretty normal for Latin Americans to change the name of Valentine’s Day to Amor y Amistad, but […]
Today marks my 2nd year living here in Bogotá. It’s been a pretty momentous couple of years ever since I landed, and it’s hard to commemorate in words. Instead, to mark to occassion, I leave you with a Colombia photo gallery from some of my travels around the country. Enjoy. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– […]
