–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– During the making of my documentary, A Journey to Colombia, I’ve always tried to update people on the progress of the film. It has been a long process and in my eyes, I still have a long way to go. In an effort to inform those that may be seeing this for […]

En 1975 en Bogotá, Colombia, la pequeña Nicole Culverhouse con tan solo cuatro años fue raptada por una mujer vestida de negro. Después estuvo en un hogar para niños y fue adoptada de buena fe por una nueva familia en los Estados Unidos. Casi cuarenta años más tarde ella aun recordaba aquel parque en el […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Colombia is a country that lives through music. It’s hard to go anywhere without hearing the distinctive strains of salsa, cumbia, or vallenato blaring out at you. Buses, corner-shops and taxis become more like nightclubs, and the people have an […]
In 1975, in Bogota, Colombia, 4 year old Nicole Culverhouse was kidnapped by a woman dressed in black. She was placed in a children’s home and adopted in good-faith by a new family in the United States. Almost 40 years later, she still remembered the park where she played with her brother, the stone wall […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Colombia is fast becoming a backpacker paradise, as word spreads about the country’s diversity, friendliness and increasing openness. And where there are backpackers, there are hostels. Colombia has hundreds of hostels, so it’s a tough call to narrow it down to a list of 5, but we love a […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I discovered See Colombia Travel in a fairly organic way: a few beers after a game of football, and a chat with Paul Fowler, See Colombia’s Editor at the time. It turned out that he was looking for an intern to write some things in the mornings, about 20 […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– It’s Friday! And that can only mean one thing at See Colombia Towers – rumba! Time to throw the laptop out of the window (figuratively speaking of course) and party like it’s 1999. We’re in luck this Friday too, as Barranquilla’s premier party-starters are in Bogota for one night […]
In May 2012, I started working on a documentary film project entitled, A Journey to Colombia. Through the film, I want to give people insight into my search for understanding my identity, family history and Colombian heritage. The goal of the documentary is to educate the audience about the beauty of Colombia and the Colombian […]
“Ya me falta poco para terminar de construir mi casa”. Robinson voltea la cabeza sin perder el equilibrio para decírmelo, pedaleando delante mío sobre el sendero de tierra que nos va a llevar a la otra orilla. Yo por supuesto lo sigo con bastante menos gracia y mucho más esfuerzo que él, esquivando ramas, saltando […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Peru has Machu Picchu, Mexico has Chichen Itza, and Colombia has La Ciudad Perdida, or The Lost City. This ancient city of the Tayrona people of Colombia’s Caribbean coast was built in 800AD (making it some 650 years older than Machu Picchu), and was only discovered as recently as […]
