colombia

I had let go of any expectations of my trip to Colombia. Life is so unexpected and I can still remember 8 years ago, when in a matter of a couple of weeks my whole life changed and I moved to the States. I went to Colombia 8 months later and would have never imagined that it would be over 7 years since I would be able to come back.

I felt taken cared of every single moment I was in Colombia. I was deeply touched to see loved ones and how easy and natural it was to transition into things. It felt like I had never left... I have an infinite appreciation and gratefulness to know that I have an amazing family and great friends that love me unconditionally. Relationships based on unconditional love are like a garden that needs to be cultivated, in that same way during these last 8 years loved ones back home have constantly showered me with love and care. A letter, a call, a word of encouragement can cultivate so many great things. I am, because you are and when I share with you my life, my heart expands, grows and rejoices.

I really enjoyed being in the countryside and I am trying to learn and recover colombian folklore. I learned to follow my heart and to prioritize my time during my short visit. I was happy to choose to spend time with people I love without rushing from one place to another. There are many people I did not get a chance to see and places I love I did not get to visit, but I know I will be back soon, to give everyone the best that I know to give. I am proud of my heritage. The andean mountains will always be part of every single cell in my being. sitting in the grass of the andean mountains, i recover a soft part of my heart where freedom resides. witnessing traditions and giving and receiving love my roots became stronger and i felt grounded.

this trip was like a dream, a dream come true! next colombian stops: la sierra nevada de santa marta, villa de leyva and many wild and colorful places!
