The mere fact of having grown up in Australia gave me the obscene luxury to live much of my life on a whim. I went to a world-class university (for free, really) because I kind-of felt like it, traveled to live in Korea comfortably just because I could speak English, and arrived in Colombia because […]

In the words of possibly the greatest Australian poet of all time, if you ever find yourself in “a ball of confusion, when nothing is new and there´s nothing doin´, step back in time.” And if ever happen to be lucky enough to find yourself travelling in Colombia, one of your best options if you […]
How many people can just hop on over to Colombia’s Pacific coast when they have a few days off for Easter? Well, mainly people in Colombia and luckily for me I am one of them.

Delightful cobbled streets, colourful balconies, the main square dominated by an imposing church, old men in hats passing the time chatting on a bench, buildings which […]
Whew! We`re back. Last week, my trusty assistant and boss, Azzam, and I were travelling around Antioquia, and we’ve experienced so many stories whilst doing so that we thought it best to devote an entire week to the pleasures available around Medellìn, which was already one of our favourite cities in Colombia (even if we […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I believe that we may have mentioned it once or twice before, but Colombia is bursting at the seams with music. Of course, there are the usual suspects of that great old friend of Old Parr, Vallenato; Cali`s favourite, Salsa; and the perenially infamous Reggaeton, all of which you […]
