Our favorite Colombia blogs:
Medellin Living
By Dave: On November 29, 2007 I left my home in the Washington, DC area for a dream trip around the world. After visiting 20 countries on 5 continents over 15 months, I found myself enamored with Medellin, Colombia in early 2009. So much so that I canceled my flight out of the city. I began this blog to chronicle my experiences living in Medellin, and traveling around Antioquia and Colombia.

Colombia Travel Blog by Marcela
By Marcela: My Colombia Travel Blog is here to tell the world that Colombia is now ready to be rediscovered as the amazing travel destination it is. After living in the UK for a decade I wanted to be part of the current renaissance of my country.Colombia is now safe to visit, unknown to foreign tourists and waiting to blossom as a major touristic destination in Latin America.
This is Colombia
By Carl: We are a network of likeminded people who felt it time to dispel a few of the myths about Colombia. There are many common perceptions of what Colombia is like but few people are aware that it is a country which has much more to it than damning news headlines. It is a land of warm people with much energy and spirit. Colombia has a very welcoming culture, rich with history music, dance, architecture and art. All of this surrounded by a backdrop of diverse and beautiful landscapes. So take a look with an open mind and an open heart and see for yourself.
Little Colombia Observationist
By Steph: Lots of photos, interviews and little observations of everyday life while I’m in Colombia.
Tourist2Townie
By Gareth: I decided to create Tourist2Townie.com. To connect with like-minded dream chasers, share unique travel adventures and provide inspiration and advice for regular people who wish to do remarkable things. This site is more of a social experiment and lifestyle design than it is a travel blog. It’s about people more than it is about places. It’s about chasing dreams rather than following the norm.
gringo gone crazy
By Zachery: I want to change the world, and I'm done being realistic about it. My family and friends keep me sane.
Wandering Trader
By Marcello: I was 13 years old: working two jobs, going to school, and doing extra curricular activities like soccer and weight training. I was working for my freedom. Fast forward 5 years: I ditched the extra curriculars, only went to high school for 3 classes with on the job training, and worked 4 jobs. I was the obsessive salesman, a “fanatical entrepreneur”, I was working for my freedom.
The Tall Gringo
By Mike: My name is Mike Hower. In case you haven’t guessed, I am The Tall Gringo. Why? Well, because I am tall and—err—a gringo.
