✈️ Travel
Best trips to do?
Traveling in Colombia is really easy. Everything is done by bus, so it can be long, but the buses are comfortable and really cheap. Plus, Bogotá is right in the center of everything. Sometimes you do need to take a plane because certain places aren’t accessible by bus, but if you book in advance, it’s not that expensive (Salento, la costa caraiba, tatacoa, medellin,la costa pacifica, amazonia, la guajira, villa de leyva, el santander etc)
🌆 Bogota vibe
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Bogota?
It’s a city that can feel a bit stressful in terms of security (more about belongings than personal safety), and you really need to know that before going. You can’t walk around at night—you have to take Ubers (which are really cheap). But apart from that, it’s an incredibly lively city with a great atmosphere, full of activities and history, and it’s perfect for going out and partying.
💡 Other Tips
GO GO GO, It’s a country incredibly rich in culture and landscapes (very diverse — it has the desert, the jungle, beautiful villages and cities, idyllic beaches). You don’t even need to leave the country because there’s so much to do. And I met one of the most welcoming populations in the world there, people are truly adorable.
