Playa Crystal at Tayrona park: epically awesome

I read a lot of travel blogs that wrote about the hidden paradise of the north coast of Colombia; Tayrona National Park. Well, not so hidden anymore apparently. Tons of articles about the conservation park, that the Colombians are very proud of, shows that the park has become one of the most visited...

Gente de Mar, Rosario Islands

When someone mentions the word Cartagena, nice weather, cold drinks, beaches, and fresh pineapple come to mind. You do find those things in Cartagena for sure. Worry not, I am not going to blabber about Cartagena’s nice weather today, because as a coastal region, Cartagena is bound to have a nice co...

Choco Museo

I found two new vending machines in my office building, y’all! They are hidden underneath the stairs in one of the building’s entrance lobbies.

Cartagena was magical, there were so many awesome things happening when we were there around Christmas. I thought the city would be...

El Penon de Guatapé

After 5 full days in Salento, we decided to move on to the next city; Medellin. Salento doesn't have any bus terminal, it has this small kiosk that sells bus tickets with a hand-written board of what bus goes where, when and the fare.

Cocora Valley

Today I was sharing juicy gossips to a friend and somehow our conversation full of malarkey led to a serious talk about life, passion, and living a life without passion.

El Ocaso Coffee Plantation, Salento

This serious self-designation shouldn’t be taken lightly and therefore it was crucial for us to visit a coffee plantation while we were in Colombia. What?

La Zipaquira Salt Cathedral

Although I might seem like I have a flawless personality I must admit that I have one or two (or 6749362819) irrational fears. The most monumental fears of them all are; fear of heights, fear of the dark, and fear of old age poverty.
