–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Before I came to Colombia, I must admit that I didn’t know very much about the continent it was on. I had a vague image of a sultry, tropical land full of passionate people doing some kind of sexy dance while eating tacos in a country with a history […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Ugh. So it’s just another long weekend here in Colombia. There sure are a ridiculous number of them in these here parts, and they start to lose their charm after about twenty of them, don’t you think? Are you kidding? We here at the almost purely imaginary See Colombia […]
Tengo una confesión que hacerles. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– La primera vez que vine a Colombia hace varios años, mis expectativas de Colombia se podían resumir en dos imágenes: Playas del Caribe (que si hay) y la ciudad amurallada de Cartagena (que si es increíble).

I’ve often had the same feeling when it comes to […]

–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I currently have a few weeks off and was very keen to go to Venezuela to find out what is actually happening in the country, as opposed to what I imagine are exaggerated news reports. Having already crossed the Colombia-Venezuela border in Cucuta, I decided to head north […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– The featured photo is of one of the most incredible, beautiful and unique natural phenomena in the entire world. Caño Cristales, the River of Seven Colours, has to be seen to be believed. No other place in the world comes close to it. BRITS, CANADIANS, AUSTRALIANS AND KIWIS: DO […]
