This one goes hand in hand with my goal of learn some spanish

In the past several years in my travels in Mexico, Central America and Peru I have met so many travelers who have told me that Colombia is where it is at in Latin America. So, I’d like to see Colombia for myself. :)

I was greeted by friends, women, and awesome colombian hospitality. I danced salsa, regaetton, house music, etc. i saw some lovely Botero art, and enjoyed brunch atop a mountain overlooking the city. Colombia es bella.

im going to colombia in august!!!!! ill be visiting pereira, medellin, and cartagena!! i bet im gonna have sooo much fun. im going with my hubby, and another couple…. wish me luck!!

the city is great, the people are even better, and I have the most amazing family in colombia!

They have the absolute BEST music. It isn’t fair all the great bands come from Colombia!

Adoro mucho a Colombia, he estado viajando por sus paisajes desde hace mucho tiempo, y definitivamente reúne una diversidad de paisajes increíbles.

I have been learning Spanish for several months now and I want to experience South America! I plan on taking a trip mid next year. There are some programs available where you can live with a host family for a week eat, go out, and learn Spanish for a very reasonable price. I’m excited! Voy a colombia!
