I thought I\u00b4d end up in Argentina or somewhere, but ever since I\u00b4ve made it to Colombia, good things just seem to manifest themselves before my eyes. Whether it is the funky, slightly grungy energy of the capital, Bogota; the steamy sass of Cartegena; the Carribean beauty of Tayrona; or the jaw-dropping gorgeousness of the coffee region; I\u2019ve found it difficult not to fall in love with the country and its people.

I must say that it\u00b4s a bit of a happy accident that I\u2019ve found myself here at all. After flitting back and forth between Australia and Asia for a few years, I felt the South American continent calling me. I thought I\u00b4d end up in Argentina or somewhere, but ever since I\u00b4ve made it to Colombia, good things just seem to manifest themselves before my eyes. Whether it is the funky, slightly grungy energy of the capital, Bogota; the steamy sass of Cartegena; the Carribean beauty of Tayrona; or the jaw-dropping gorgeousness of the coffee region; I\u2019ve found it difficult not to fall in love with the country and its people. As for myself, I\u00b4m passionate about a number of things; travel (duh), poetry, food, good drinks, and ridiculous clothing. And, from what I\u00b4ve seen so far, I\u00b4m confident Colombia is a peculiarly amenable environment to sustain and develop such passions.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.mrgiles.blogspot.com"],"url":"https:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/author\/paul-giles\/"}]}},"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9624"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/88889"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9624"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9624\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21849,"href":"https:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9624\/revisions\/21849"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
