January 8, 2018 // 7 Comments

I’d wanted to visit Chingaza National Park since I arrived in Colombia in 2013. A guy on my CELTA course at the British Council had waxed lyrical about it for weeks after he visited it with his family, and this aroused my curiosity. Unfortunately though, I don’t have a car and wasn’t sure how to organise a guided visit to the park. So I was really [more]

It’s funny, the other day a Colombian man posted a question in the ExPats in Colombia Facebook group. He asked why it was that Brits in Colombia always asked people – who were clearly standing in a queue – if they were queuing.

I’ve heard a few people say that it’s not easy being a vegetarian in Colombia, as meat is such a big part of the Colombian diet. Indeed, I’ve also heard some Colombians say that a meal without any meat is not a proper meal! I’m not a vegetarian but I’m not a big meat-eater either.

Gluten-free and organic bread in Bogota

August 28, 2017 // 2 Comments

The great thing about this blog is that it has put me in touch with so many great people. The other day I received a message from Alejandra, who wanted to tell me about the organic bread and other types of bread that she and her friends bake. She kindly brought me some to try, and I can really recommend it! This is a good option for people who are gluten-intolerant [more]
