Trekking Mt.Batur [Trekking el Monte Batur]

August 5, 2016 No Comments

Climbing to the top of Mount Batur was without a doubt one of my favorite things about the trip to Bali, and maybe even one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. If you go to Bali and don’t climb to the top, you’re missing out on an incredible experience. It’s like going to Chicago and not eating deep dish pizza, or going to Paris and not visiting the Eiffel tower,… or going to Medellín and not eating arepa con quesito. Well… you get the point.

Sailing Away [Navegando Ando]

July 28, 2016 No Comments

What do you do when your boyfriend and his family are passionate about sailing and they invite you to spend a weekend with them in the Mediterranean? You take some seasickness medicine and pray that you will enjoy it. [Versión en español abajo]

Weekend in Bordeaux [Fin de semana en Burdeos]

July 8, 2016 No Comments

This past weekend I finally had the opportunity to go to Bordeaux for my first time. The actual reason we went was to see Muse play that Thursday night at a festival, Garo Rock, near Bordeaux in Marmande. Our plan was to rent a house though Airbnb, and sleep close to Marmande the night of the concert; then the following day head to Bordeaux to spend the rest of the weekend there.

Bali, Food Diary [Diario de Comida]

July 5, 2016 No Comments

If you’re like me…you eat through your eyes ! And the flavors, scents, and colors of the Balinese gastronomy are amazing. One of the things that I enjoy the most when traveling is tasting the typical food and drinks of each place.

Bali, Indonesia

June 28, 2016 No Comments

This past Monday I came back from a two-week trip to Bali, Indonesia, an incredible island. Before leaving, we made an itinerary of the trip we wanted to make in Google Maps. We practically ended up crossing the whole island except for the West part… and we decided to spend the two weeks in Bali only to really enjoy and get to know not only the important places, but the people, the traditions, the food, etc. If getting to Bali from France is a long trip, from the American continent it is even longer, which is why in my opinion it is worth going at least two weeks.

Pau, France [Pau, Francia]

June 2, 2016 No Comments

On my last post I wrote about my experience on moving far from my family. But…where am I? I’m in Pau, France. A city on the southwest of France located in the department of Atlantic Pyrenees. In about an hour we have the ocean, Spain, and the Pyrénées Mountains, therefore there’s always something to do in its surroundings. [Versión en español abajo]

Moving to France [Mudanza a Francia]

May 27, 2016 No Comments

I arrived in France with the joy of finally being with the person I loved, and the hope of getting to know more about his culture, friends, family, and of learning the language. The first couple of weeks everything is new, you feel like a little kid discovering everything where even the most ordinary things are fascinating. However, at the same time you feel vulnerable to be in an unknown place. I’m not going to lie, the change was hard on me at first. I felt strange, I felt like I was on a trip…on one of those trips where you feel that you’ve left part your heart somewhere else, and even though you try to enjoy all the new experiences you know you are fortunate to be able to live, your thoughts fog all the amazing things that are right in front of you.

Valencia [More than just Oranges]

May 20, 2016 No Comments

Two weeks ago, it was my boyfriend’s birthday. Since in France that Thursday was a holiday, we decided to take a trip over the long weekend. Our destination: Valencia, España! Being in the South of France, Spain is very close and it’s a very economical destination. To be honest, I knew very little about Valencia other than… oranges! However, I came upon a big city with the heart of a small town, where history and traditions live with innovation and globalization. A city that has more than oranges to offer to this world – even though I do love oranges. [Versión en español abajo]

Medellín, Colombia [City of Everlasting Spring]

May 12, 2016 No Comments

Being from Medellín, I thought it was most appropriate for my first post to be about MEDELLIN. I try to travel back to my hometown once a year, and there’s always something new to see and do. The last two times I traveled to Medellín I went with my boyfriend who is French, and it probably took him longer to fall in love with me than with Medellín! [Versión en español abajo]
