Posted on December 9, 2010 by admin

It has been a year since my trip to Colombia last December and I decided to put together a video showcasing some of my photos from that trip. I hope you enjoy! I look forward to making other videos for future and past trips when time permits!

4 Travel Regrets That I Don’t Actually Regret

Posted on August 16, 2010 by admin

It sounds contradictory, I know. I often think about those experiences I may have missed on the road or things I got myself involved in that looking back, I wish I hadn’t. I’m not one of those people who think that everything happens for a reason or that there is any rhyme or reason at… Continue reading

Quick notes from the flight home

Posted on December 26, 2009 by admin

I could and very well may live in Medellin some day. I might spend my 30th birthday and graduation celebration in Cartagena and Medellin and will be looking for friends to join me this time. Usually when I am coming home from a trip I’m exhausted and ready to come home. I feel like I… Continue reading

Tranquillo in the Sky

Posted on December 21, 2009 by admin

I’ll skip the last two days because frankly they weren’t very interesting. Football yesterday all day, lots of rain… Saturday night clubbing and a late night rave atmosphere at Club Carnival just outside of town. Today I woke up at 9:00 after a pretty long sleep. I asked Diana, the wonderful girl who works here… Continue reading

Hosteling

Posted on December 19, 2009 by admin

I must apologize for the slow updating. Things have gotten into full swing here at the hostel. Large groups coming and going, people getting to know each other. There was a mixer last night, the hostel did a beer pong tournament. I was paired up with a Colombian girl named Sandra, we lost but then… Continue reading

An American an Englishman and a Frenchman Walk into a Bar

Posted on December 17, 2009 by admin

Last night after uploading photos and blogging I headed down to the hostel bar. When traveling solo it is a necessity to strike up conversation with others so that you don’t spend your evenings by yourself. I asked what they were drinking (rum and cokes) and joined them. The Medellin Anejo is a pretty good… Continue reading

Medellin

Posted on December 16, 2009 by admin

Bienvenido a Medellín As I sit here on the terrace of my hotel with my small bottle of Ron Medellin Anejo, over looking the the sprawling metropolis of Medellin, I think of only a few places that can match the anticipation of arrival than here. Chiang Mai, Thailand and Hong Kong are two that come… Continue reading

Quick notes…

Posted on December 15, 2009 by admin

I’m back in the hostel getting ready for an early sleep. I have to catch a bus to Medellin in the morning. I just wanted to run through a few quick notes. I’m really enjoying having access to wifi like this in the hostels. I was talking to a couple of other people who have… Continue reading

I Love Mountain!

Posted on December 13, 2009 by admin

I arrived in Bogota yesterday afternoon around 2pm. I didn’t shift time zones so that was very nice and the flight was rather quick. 3.5 hours from Miami. Customs and money exchange were smooth and since I didn’t check any baggage I was out of the airport and on my way to the hotel very… Continue reading

Voy a ir a Colombia ahora!

Posted on December 12, 2009 by admin

Ok, It’s just before 5am on Saturday morning. I’m on my way to the airport now to catch my flight to Bogota. I’ll be connecting in Miami then 3.5 hours to Bogota. So here it goes! A new continent.
