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.

Happy Birthday Coraline! From the See Colombia Travel Team

Paul Fowler September 11, 2012

  –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Today we’re celebrating our dear Coraline’s birthday. Being French, we imagine she’s currently sloshing down some delicious red wine and feasting on exotic cheeses.

The Home of Vallenato: Travelling to Valledupar

Paul Fowler September 4, 2012

  –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Valledupar isn’t the most attractive city in the world. While its main square is large and lined with trees, other streets can be found strewn with garbage that rots in the incessant, irrepentant heat. Many areas are industrious, dizzyingly chaotic and lacking in any real significant charm that might […]
