–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Well, we done warned you plenty. We told you Colombia was going to be the place to be. Now it´s too late for you to be able to say (like we can – but, which still doesn´t make us hipsters, btw): ¨Oh yeah, going to Colombia? Ya – I did that […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– There are some wild rumours flying around the place. And I´m not talking about just the usual ones circulating around this country, such as the ridiculous one about the reason why all the gents at the See Colombia Towers wear hats is because they´re going bald; or the completely […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– It seems just like yesterday, when I was still a wide-eyed innocent lad of 33 years, new to big, brash Bogotá; a fresh fish in the See Colombia Travel pond. Now I´m a travel-hardened, world-weary old man of 34, wise to the customs of the near-imaginary See Colombia Travel […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– It´s a funny thing. Something about the nature of my job seems to make it necessary for me to access the internet. And, being the scab I am, I like free. Thus, I often find myself traipsing across the country-side, scanning for the above sign, like some kind of […]

Colombians are a friendly bunch, no doubt about it. To get on their good side (which is a great place to be) brush up on your answers to these conversation starters. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– “You need to be careful.” Sometimes, one needs to be careful. In pretty much any country, […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Is Colombia really the happiest place in the world? WIN-Gallup say it is, but we’d be interested to hear what you’d have to say on the matter. Ourselves? We’re not particularly sure what to make of it all, but even so, we reckon happiness is a distinct possibility here. Any […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– #A country gone to hell. (Overhead shot of a desert – cacti, chickens, and donkeys. Numerous Mexicans in army fatigues shooting machine guns into the air) Mexicans: “Underlay, underlay, Yippai! Yippai!” #A ruthless drug lord with no mercy. (Shot of a chubby, white-suited, sun-glassed drug lord walking away as […]
I’m a man of simple pleasures: music, books, football, travel… These are the things I think about during my spare time. One thing about these interests that frustrates me, however, is that I can’t drink them. That’s where beer comes in. I can drink beer. Delicious, delicious beer. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– One thing […]
