Colombia Travel Guide

Colombia was the first country outside the Philippines I stayed in for months. I learned the local bus routes, bought fruit every weekend at the market, and found my favorite little eatery.

It was also the first time I was in a long-term relationship while traveling. I navigated a whole new culture and rhythm with someone I met on the road (my now ex!). Messy, beautiful, unforgettable.

Before I even knew what “slow travel” meant, Colombia showed me what it felt like to truly live in a place—not just pass through. To build tiny routines. To know which corner store sells the best empanadas.

These guides are filled with the places and moments that made me fall for Colombia—the chaos, the calm, the color, and all the connection in between.
