First impressions

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 | By noflyzone | Views [948]

Telling folk back home we were heading out on an adventure to Colombia brought two usual responses: a) "you'll get kidnapped" or b) "you'll get murdered".  Well, surprise surprise, IT'S NOT A WAR ZONE.  It's a perfectly civilised ... Read more >

Mon, 23 Apr 2012 | By mixedmediabook | Views [611] | Scholarship Entry

A foolish question in the middle of the night disturbed my reading in one of the biggest plazas in South America. I suddenly heard: Miss, do you know when Villa de Leyva was founded?   I had arrived in town that morning from Bogota and ... Read more >

The Final Week

Fri, 20 Apr 2012 | By agrant | Views [417]

Hello all again! The trek from Quito to Bogota proved to be a long but enjoyable one with several highlights. I didn't find Quito all that inspiring but spent a rainy day there getting affairs in order before my departure. I headed up to the 'Mitad ... Read more >

My Scholarship entry - Understanding a Culture through Food

Thu, 19 Apr 2012 | By anbla | Views [811] | Scholarship Entry

At my return from Brazil, my friends expected me to talk about samba and soccer but what I talked about the most was food. I was still feeling Brazil’s cultural taste in my mouth and wanted nothing more than ... Read more >

Farewell Colombia...

Tue, 3 Apr 2012 | By jenc_13 | Views [681]

Arriving in Santa Marta to hot, tropical sunshine was a welcome relief after a freezing 15 hours on a bus. There´s not a lot to find charming about Santa Marta, but the main reason I´d ventured back up to the Colombian coast was for the Betfair sponsored ... Read more >

San Gil and the big pig....

Sun, 25 Mar 2012 | By jenc_13 | Views [1033]

After leaving Villa de Leyva behind, the next stop on the list was San Gil, adventure sports capital of Colombia, and supposedly about a 4 hour bus ride after connecting in Tunja. Now I know I´ve made my fair share of complaints/comments about some ... Read more >

Bogota, Zipaquira and Villa de Leyva - 3 towns in 3 days

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 | By jenc_13 | Views [1563]

So after my early arrival in Bogota I headed to Platypus hostel in the La Candelaria to meet the second familiar face of the trip: Freemo, of Betfair ´fame´. I only really had a day to see the sights in Bogota, as we were planning to head north the ... Read more >

La Zona Cafetera - Salento

Sun, 18 Mar 2012 | By jenc_13 | Views [964]

It seems to be becoming a trend that I start each entry with some kind of transport misadventure, so I might as well continue with that theme.... I left for Salento in the Zona Cafetera (a whole region devoted to making coffee, yes please) on Friday ... Read more >

Medellin....

Fri, 16 Mar 2012 | By jenc_13 | Views [646]

After a few teething problems with my flights in South America so far, you can imagine my surprise when I found myself not only making my connection in Bogota when en route from Quito to Medellin, but actually being EARLY. (I also have to add one ... Read more >

Cartagena to Quito....it shouldn´t be that hard

Fri, 2 Mar 2012 | By jenc_13 | Views [717]

OK I kind of want to scream right now......having just spent an hour trying to catch up on a week of activities, the entire entry got wiped so now I have to start over......sigh. And obviously Version 1 was much more witty and interesting. Anyway.... Read more >

Not sure if I´ve just been violated....

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 | By jenc_13 | Views [867]

A few days in now and after the initial surreal experience on Saturday, it´s been (for the most part) much more relaxing since. Sunday I met three American guys and a Chilean girl at the hostel, and after a couple of hours of playing cards with a few ... Read more >

Colombia to Costa Rica

Sun, 26 Feb 2012 | By sally-annephillips | Views [1987]

This originally was a blog about San Jos é , Costa Rica, but then I started to think about my journey to there from Santa Marta, Colombia. I usually try not to dwell on the tedium of the familiar airport experience (you know the deal) ... Read more >
