- Medellin – why sleeping?
sorry, only google translate…
We really wanted to see the second largest city in Colombia, because it not only has a turbulent history with drug cartels and Pablo Escobar, but is also said to be one of the most up-and-coming and exciting cities in South America. And what can I say, you can tell by ...
- San Andres – of we go to a Carebbean Island, after the probably most crazy bus ride ever…
sorry, only google translate…
After six days of hiking we feel like a few days at the beach, and the Caribbean offers some good spots… We decide on the most famous Colombian island of San Andres, which geographically should actually be assigned to Nicaragua. That’s why we have to get back to Cartagena ...
- Ciudad Perdida – 4 days of rain, mud and charming rainforest
sorry, only google translate
Together with Ruth, whom we met in the jungle of Colombia, we are picked up on Friday morning and taken two hours to the village of El Mamey, the starting point of the “Lost City Trek”. For this we sit in the back of a four-wheel drive jeep, and this ...
- Santa Marta – A national park at the door to the Caribbean Sea

- Leticia – three countries, one forest and water everywhere
After our rainforest experience in Peru, we just couldn’t pass up the chance to see the real Amazon with our own eyes. Seeing is actually an understatement, you simply experience the Amazon with all your senses, but first things first…
We land in Leticia around noon, the starting point for the Amazon region from the Colombian ...
- Bogota- Street Art and lots of love of life
sorry, only google translate…
Since Kerstin only arrives in Bogota two days after Tobi, there is enough time to explore the city and get to know a few locals. Tobi meets up with a group of couchsurfers, explores the multitude of vegetarian and vegan restaurants and great cafes. After a good night’s sleep, Kerstin can plunge ...
- Dallas – the secrect capital of America – seriosly?
sorry, only google translate…
Before our actual journey can begin, Tobi is still busy for the university in Dallas.
Texas has a certain appeal for us, but we haven’t made it past Dallas Airport yet. Long story, short: We didn’t miss anything. Dallas has a lot to offer from the “American way of life”, but ...
