Columbia was the only Latin American country Ive been to besides Mexico.... and man did it leave me thirsty for more adventure. First of all the Dollar does very well there, so we were living life very well. Clubbin every nite with bottle service in the range of 5-6 bottles a night.... we stayed at…

Cartagena is very beautiful.  It has the old city charm, and the new modern section.  People were very nice. It reminded me of Old San Juan in Puerto Rico.

I´m really excited about this city.  So far everything has been a lot of fun and all the people that I have met have been really cool.  The city is beautiful and is very green for a big city.  I have heard that this city grew slowly which allowed it to retain its charm while still b…

I'm sure this blog will contradict most of what I wrote in my previous blog on the first account I had here on TB, but that is not of importance. I do not deny that, yes; I for a time was not 100% thrilled with my stay in Colombia. However, much of this (though not all, naturally) had a lot to do w…

Unfortunately (or fortunately), I was just too busy having a blast in Medellin to keep up this blog.  But, here is a summary of some things that went on during my last four days in South America: -Palm Tree Hostel - what a place! Nice middle class neighborhood, behind the largest Exito in tow…

My trip to Bogotá, Colombia was great. From the Capital City to the hills of Monserrate and the amazing Cathedral of Salt.

Colombia is often showed as extremely dangereous. But I can tell you that this is not exactly true. Ofcourse there are still areas you better stay away but if you inform yourself well, there is no reason to stay away from this beautiful undiscovered country with it's great nature, people and culture. Colombia has everything to become a top destination for backpackers! Qué viva Colombia!

Carolina, (Carolina_Bogota) had a birthday on Oct 18th and I looked at her profile photo and thought, I could give her a gift by changing her shot. I downloaded the shot and did a little lighting and color changes.  I hope she is happy with the outcome.  Happy Birthday!!   This on…

I had to put a corny tittle like this just to make all of you all read, and, it looks like I got the job done because you are reading this now, arnt you??? We left Quito at 4am and traveled litterally all day pass the Ecuador-Colombia border untill we reached Cali. Actually, contrary to what I pre…

Colombia, South America’s tourism slogan is, “The Only Risk Is Wanting to Stay”.  This turned out to be prophetic for this small town Mississippi guy.  I remain a U.S. citizen, but now also have a Colombian Resident Visa.  Colombia consists of Caribbean & Pacific coastli…

I just came back from the Philippines and was at Baker's pub, one of my local hang out's talking to a friend who's a music proffessor at a university here in town. In our conversation he told me that his deceased wife was from Colombia and that he's been there a few times. It is a beautiful place h…

    The next day we arrived in Medellin. The airport was 45 mins outside of Medellin. it was a beautiful ride to the Medellin. I see more green trees and grass, farm animals were everywhere. It began to a rain as well. It felt very tropical.We arrived at the Casa Kiwi Hostal Its loca…

Colombia, the first country to be visited on our South American tour, and perhaps the most dangerous . . . scared for us yet?!! Nah! For sure, Colombia has been given lots of pretty bad publicity, and so has a very negative rep . . . the drugs, the FARC, the kidnappings . . . But hey, on a pos…

Hello All,I slept in today, and I feel pretty caught up on sleep.  I used today to familiarize myself with the 'Centro' area of town.  I walked around for about 30 minutes trying to find my hotel last night before finally stumbling upon it.  I grabbed a map from the tourist booth near the clock …
