–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– As we keep on telling you, Medellín is awesome. Especially during the Flower Festival. It´s a funny coincidence, but it just so happens that official precedings kick off today. Don´t panic, though: if you haven´t lugged your pack to the City of Eternal Spring (and partays), you haven´t missed […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Although everybody loves Colombia´s Caribbean coast (just check out last week´s gallery again if you yourself still don´t), sometimes I get the feeling that its inhabitants, generally referred to as Costeños, often get a raw deal. In particular, it sometimes appears that some residents of the two major Colombian cities, […]
It’s no secret that Bogotá loves to party. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– The Bogotano bar-hopper/club-goer is spoilt for choice. You can choose to down spirituous liquor at crazy underground dives, cooler-than-cool hipster joints, or swanky cocktail lounges.

Not only can a couple of responsible drinks let down your self-conscious barriers a little so that you […]
There are many reasons to love Colombia, but the one that always comes back is “the people”. One of Colombia’s most famous people is Sofia Vergara, and today is her birthday. So let’s celebrate Sofia on her special day. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– She’s not afraid to show her emotions. She’s not afraid to sing […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Before I came to Colombia, I must admit that I didn’t know very much about the continent it was on. I had a vague image of a sultry, tropical land full of passionate people doing some kind of sexy dance while eating tacos in a country with a history […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I’m going to come right out and say it. Deep down, I’m a bit of a prude. I try to hide this with a somewhat relentless obsession with fart and poo jokes, but, somewhere deep down in the centre of my lapsed Catholic soul, lies a 19th Century Gentleman […]
