Becoming an Expat

I could seriously see myself living in Colombia. I love, love, love Colombia. Dispel all those thoughts about Colombia being dangerous. I seriously have felt more threatened in parts of Europe than I have in Colombia. Thus far, knock on wood, I never really felt like my life was endangered. Sure, I may have walked through some parts a bit faster than others, but that is because the locals are so cautious that they kind of scare you about the neighborhood.

I just left Bogotá and am now in Leticia, the Amazon jungle. Bogotá is an amazing city. Well, besides the party life it just has a certain vibe to it. Now, it´s not the kind of city I could see my parents liking. It´s not like it is so beautiful, but it just has some vibe that I love.

Plus, Colombians are so nice! Ridiculously nice! Getting lost and someone walking with you to make sure you get to the right place nice! The police are so nice as well. They also have walked me numerous places to make sure that I am in the right place. I told a Colombian that I thought the police were nice and then he laughed. yehahahhaha. Well, at least to tourists!

Seriously considering settling here. Now, if only I did not have to meet Corina in 5 days in Cuzco. yehahahhahaah
