😍 si si Colombiaaa, si si Caribe 😍 p2

This past summer I was lucky enough to travel for two months, with a backpack, a friend and all the energy of the world.

I worked very hard and finally I went with all the savings that I gathered for a whole year, to live an adventure. I dreamed of the day I could travel for months, forget everything and everyone, and transform myself into a pseudo nomad of such beautiful lands.

People usually believe that Colombia is only the Caribbean, but it is much more than that. The Andes mountain range opens and gives way to three mountain ranges, so imagine the amount of micro climates that are generated!

We were able, along with many other things, to know the history of Colombia from the perspective of its own inhabitants. If you know a Colombian, you will know that depending on the city they are all different! The complexity of its geography prevents people from traveling often between cities, so each place has its own essence, and all are very different from each other. It can be a single country, but with cultures very very different from each other.

 I had never met such nice people, that made me fall in love.

I learned that currently in Colombia there are hundreds of indigenous languages ​​that are in full use, that their indigenous people have territorial autonomy and that they are respected, that the violence exerted by drug trafficking was in some cases less than what the state power created provided them - supposedly - to fight it, that in Colombia you dance salsa, bachata, reggaetón, salsa choque, champeta, vallenato, ufffffff and many other styles! Pure local music! (just like here), that culture is lived in every corner, that in Medellin are more workers than anyone (there are coffe shops open at 4:30 in the morning).

Hammocks everywhere

It was the best trip so far because I disconnected everything, I learned to trust in people, to listen to my intuition, to cook bananas in many different ways,  to sleep in hammocks (for more information go to post 7). I met cities that were more than 450 years old, people of all colors, cities in which you seemed to be more in Africa than in America, I swam among coral reefs under the light of the moon and in the middle of fluorescent plankton.

Finally, I learned that life is one, and that the moment is now. That in the end, we are not so different, and that life can be much more kind, if one is with a willing heart.



Thank you for so much beautiful Colombia 💓💛💙😍
