–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I don’t want to sound like a disgusting pig (Hey! I”m just big stomach-boned), but I’ve a confession to make. I’m kind of in love with Colombian burgers. I don’t know what’s happened – I’ve never eaten so many burgers anywhere else. It seems like not a week goes […]

In the fine tradition of taking two seemingly completely different cities and making you realise that they’re not that different after all, in this post, I plan to use my amazing powers of obfuscation to confuse you so much that you won’t know your Seoul from your Bogota. There are some fairly mundane and uninteresting […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Some, lazier, countries (here’s looking at you, Oz – c’mon admit it: “barbie” because “barbeque”‘s too long to say?) think the word “shop” refers only to a structure with a door, counter, register – all that kind of thing. For a Colombian, though, this concept can be interpreted much, […]
Bogotá may not have the biggest expat community out there, but the one it does have is thriving, well-connected and, best of all, pretty damn fun. There are various opportunities to meet up with expats from all over the world in that are living in Bogotá and exchange stories, guzzle beers, reminisce about life back […]

Being Australian myself, I should’ve realised how annoying and uncouth my countrymen can be, but, I’m fairly notorious for making poor judgements (apart from going to Colombia, of course), so […]
On December 3rd last year I checked my emails. Now this may not seem like a particularly momentous event, but those who know me well will be aware of the fact that I hate checking my emails: the only people who use email to contact me would probably only be doing so with bad news. […]
“If a tree fell in the forest, and nobody heard it, would a hipster still have the album on vinyl?” –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Supsies, brah? So, this is totes Awks, babez. Like, the History Channel (puhlease! Totes outdated!) has just released the 25 finalists in El Gran Colombiano – which means, the Great […]
To start with, the Pacific coast of the Chocó is vast: so vast in fact that to attempt to cover all of it in this one Colombia Travel Blog post would be downright irresponsible of us! Therefore I am simply going to describe the trip I took in September last year to Playa Guachalito near […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I don’t know if it’s because of my quiet aspirations to be a housewife, or just that I don’t like getting up in the morning, but I’ve always been fascinated with the phenomenon which is daytime TV. There’s something possibly apocalyptic about the terrible soaps, commercials about life insurance, […]
