Not only do Footprint bring their editions out […]
We’ve spent so much time celebrating and feeling pretty happy with all our achievements last year so we thought it was about time we brought our feet firmly down to the ground and took a look at what we didn’t get right last year. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Don’t get me wrong, we love […]
2012 promises to be a huge year for Colombia. The country was recently announced as one of the best destinations in the world for the coming year by National Geographic and that was just the tip of the iceberg for the country which saw huge amounts of publicity during 2011 (with our own humble site being […]
