Just the other week I was lucky enough to be able to take a trip to the wonderful village of Villeta. Just an hour and a half ride outside of the city, Villeta is a nice change from the busy city life and the colder climate of Bogota. As I mentioned in a previous post…Continue Reading “A quick getaway to Villeta, Colombia”
Back in December 2014 I decided to try something new, something I had heard much about but never had the chance to try. That something was…. a fish pedicure. I’ve always wanted to try a fish pedicure, and when I discovered the Rufoo Fish Spa in Barcelona, I knew I had found the perfect place…Continue Reading “Fish Pedicures in Barcelona”
In the center of downtown Bogota, in La Candelaria, tucked away just a half of a block away from the main square, Plaza Bolivar, is a very old (slightly hidden) gem of a restaurant… La Puerta Falsa. La Puerta Falsa is one of my new favorite restaurants in Bogota. It is a total hole in the…Continue Reading “La Puerta Falsa – Bogota, Colombia”
The other day I was lucky enough to get to explore the very interesting Museo de Botero. The Botero Museum is housed in a colonial mansion in the historic La Candelaria district of Bogota. The mix of the colonial architecture along with the modern art is enchanting. The house is two floors with a courtyard…Continue Reading “Museo de Botero- Bogotá, Colombia”
Barcelona is an incredible city filled with parks, culture, art and history. The Parc del Laberint d’Horta is one of the city’s oldest and least well known. Barcelona has many beautiful parks, but el Parc del Laberint d’Horta (Horta Labyrinth Park) is different than the others – it is a huge maze. The Laberint d’Horta in…Continue Reading “Parc del Laberint d’Horta – Barcelona”
Ibiza was a very surprising destination for me. It was not at all what I expected it to be … in fact it was actually so much better! I decided to go to Ibiza on a slight whim, it’s a quick flight from Barcelona (not to mention a cheap one). A few friends said…Continue Reading “Ibiza, Spain – Video Edition”
Back in January I was lucky enough to get to go to Montaña Quebrada La Vieja, an incredible hiking path in the mountains of Bogota. It’s a beautiful path strewn with tons of fresh air, greenery and waterfalls. There are no words to describe how beautiful this hike was. As I mentioned before, Bogota sits at more…Continue Reading “Quebrada la Vieja – Bogota”
One thing that I love to do when I travel is to take videos. I feel that videos really capture the essence of a place and the feelings of a trip very well, in a way that pictures can’t quite do. I’ve begun to do for most of the trips I go on, I have so…Continue Reading “Girona, Spain (video edition)”
I figured that since I started off with Barcelona, it only made sense to do my next blog post on Bogota…. my second destination in life abroad (although I have so much to say since this is my home now… so this will be the first of many blog posts).. So I’ve decided what better way…Continue Reading “Bogota”
I figured that it was a good idea to make my first post (ok it’s technically my second) about Barcelona. After all, most of my adventures took place in Barcelona (living there for 2 years will do that).
