How many people can simply nip to Colombia’s Pacific coast when they have a few days off for Easter? Well, mainly people in Colombia and luckily I am one of them. I’m not gloating (well, maybe a little), but simply highlighting the amazing diversity and opportunity for travel that living in Bogota offers. –> Colombia […]
