As anyone who has ever read this blog or met me will know, I love Colombia. Simple as that. If I could marry her I would. But sadly I can’t and the best I can do is keep on waxing lyrical about every aspect of Colombia: the people, the landscapes, the biodiversity, the culture and […]

As this Sunday is that oh-so-romantic day “El DIa de Amor y Amistad” in Colombia, I thought it was worth bringing this one out of the archives.
