–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– In this post, I’m going to come out with an outrageous claim. The Colombian department, Boyaca, is not the Colombian capital city, Bogota. OK OK, guys, calm down. Let me just explain a moment. I know this is a pretty crazy statement to just come out and say, but I do have […]

I don’t want to sound disgusting (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 as if hardly a week goes by in Colombia that I don’t find myself […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– As far as I remember, Christmas traditions in Sydney, Australia go something like this.

Christmas in Colombia is an entirely different experience to what we might be used to back in Europe. As soon as they possibly can, Colombians start to decorate their houses, celebrate the festive season with their family and, as with Christmas elsewhere, eat and drink more than is good for you. Here are just a […]
Now, I rarely impress anyone. My mum won’t even really watch me when I do something really cool like balance on one leg or wave my arms around a bit. I thought I’d just put that out there just in case you think I’m trying to give myself airs with the title of the piece. […]

Especially since eating generous helpings of meat is pretty much one of Colombia’s favourite past-times and an almost compulsory part of Colombian food. But if you are a […]
It’s generally accepted that it’s poor form to generalise, but, sometimes, some unscrupulous bloggers can’t help themselves. Don’t be alarmed, though: if you know me at all by now, you should realise how many scruples I’m the proud owner of, and would never stoop to such crass, unfair, and reductive tricks.
