–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Colombia is a pretty geographically diverse place: you can go from desert, to plains, to jungle, to high Andean mountains to ocean in just a couple of days here, so getting around can sometimes be tricky. Most people fly, take buses or drive, but there are many other forms […]

–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– When you finally get to Colombia, the easiest way to travel around by far (before you enter the magical world of The Chicken Buses) are those little lemon-yellow taxis blaring out their salsa or reggaeton that are in such rich profusion pretty much all over the country. Convenient, quick, and […]
The mere fact of having grown up in Australia gave me the obscene luxury to live much of my life on a whim. I went to a world-class university (for free, really) because I kind-of felt like it, traveled to live in Korea comfortably just because I could speak English, and arrived in Colombia because […]
–> 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) <– Before I go any further with this post, I want to clear up something straight away. In what follows, when I use the term, “Willy,” I mean this: I don’t mean this: or anything else you may happen to be thinking. I hope I’ve made […]

So, I don’t know why, but I agreed to go on a trip to the coffee triangle with the adopted little brother I never wanted. 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 […]
If you’re up for a little adventure at any time, and in most any part of Colombia, the cheapest and most reliable option is what Sarah gloriously calls Chicken buses – the little Collectivos that go anywhere and everywhere. Here are some of their most distinctive features: –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– * The first […]
Once upon a time guide books and websites suggested that people travelling around Colombia only jet around via plane. Buses, particularly at night, were a big no no. Now, things have changed and buses are all good in most areas. But, what mode of transport should you take while you’re travelling around Colombia? Bus or […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Valledupar isn’t the most attractive city in the world. While its main square is large and lined with trees, other streets can be found strewn with garbage that rots in the incessant, irrepentant heat. Many areas are industrious, dizzyingly chaotic and lacking in any real significant charm that might […]
