–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– When I first decided to move back to Colombia – I had previously lived here for a year in 2011 – I knew that I would be coming back to this wonderful country regardless of whether I found a job right away. I planned to fly out and find […]

–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I have become something of a coffee obsessive over the years I have lived in Colombia. That’s partly down to the excellent new coffee shops that have been springing up all over my neighbourhood, partly because it’s hard not to get obsessive when you have done as many coffee […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– This Saturday, May 13, is a massive day for Colombia; a chance for the country to break a world record and make history. However, unless you, like me, are a binocular-sporting bird enthusiast it’s highly unlikely that you have this date triple-circled in red marker pen in your diary. […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I get asked for Colombia travel tips a lot. I mean on a daily basis (and not via the blog, that’s my job: I mean personally).

There are good and bad homestays (some just feel awkward: as if, understandably, your […]
Acabo de volver de un viaje a Europa y como se pueden imaginar o ya saben es bastante diferente, especialmente ahora que en Europa es invierno, el cual este año ha sido bastante bravo gracias a una ola de frío siberiano. Muchos escritores extranjeros de nuestro blog (Chris, Paul, Azzam, Jessica) han hecho su lista de […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– The Forbes Travel Guide recently published their list of the Top 12 Destinations of 2017 and Colombia has another high-profile travel recommendation as a result. The list, which focuses on cities and only includes 3 other non-North American cities, names Colombia’s capital as one of their best destination cities for […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Walking tours can be pretty hit-and-miss as far as I’m concerned – you either end up with a fascinating insight into a culture or moment of history (e.g. Bogota’s excellent graffiti tour or, the best walking tour I have ever taken, the civil war walking tour of Sarajevo in […]
