Hi all! I just came back from a wonderful trip around Colombia so I've got tons of material both for my Colombia Travel Blog as well as for my ongoing Colombia Project!
For now I want to leave you with a 3 part video of Anthony Bourdain's show "No reservations" from a couple of years back... what I love about this episode is the fact that Bourdain not only discovers the vast and rich Colombian Gastronomy, but is also the perfect example of a traveller with prejudices about Colombia that suddenly realizes that instead of being in the horrible place he heard about, he's actually discovering an almost untouched country to be exlored. My favorite quote: "Its ludicrous this place exists and that evervory doesnt wanna live here!"
Enjoy !
Abrazos,
Marcela

Colombia featured in The Sunday Times!
Gathering onformation for a coming post of my Colombia Travel Blog, I recently came across an article in the prestigious British newspaper The Sunday Times entitled Colombian Gold. I worried, of course, that it would be riddled with safety recommendations and warnings that were meant to reassure people but really just bolstered the image of Colombia as a dangerous destination. I shouldn’t have worried at all. Stanley Stewart’s article is an overwhelmingly positive look at Cartagena, and proof of the growing interest in Colombia as a travel destination.
