Somehow, I forgot to mention that the week before, my kizomba (and bachata) teacher rocked up to my lesson on Thursday, after a birthday party in the school the night before and announced after a few dances that he had been stabbed twice in the leg the night before. Apparently, two guys had tried toContinue reading “Ciao Cali, ya te extraño”

Yep, I’m still in Cali!!!
22/4/23 I needed a rest from the five hours of classes and dancing every night, so I decided to give myself a long weekend after our slightly drunk SofarSounds night on Friday. Saturday, I had brunch with Laura and then headed down to the river for a mooch and a decompress. I finally saw theContinue reading “Yep, I’m still in Cali!!!”
Aborrajado, bachata and Bohemian Rhapsody 🏴
Another week of more of the same, but not in a mediocre way. Imagine trying to learn to be better at dancing and Spanish, and actually making progress (albeit slowly), sharing more time with friends, friends that you are getting to know better each day. Imagine eating good food and enjoying coffee and cake eachContinue reading “Aborrajado, bachata and Bohemian Rhapsody 🏴”
The one about the road trip
1/4/23 Day one of the mega road trip to the beach! Vamos! We got up early early (en la madrugada) and hit the empty roads with Cali salsa tunes blaring. The roads were a whole lot more sketchy than I was expecting, particularly the drivers on the roads! It was a little reminiscent of theContinue reading “The one about the road trip”
Cali Cali Cali
28/3/22 – 31/3/22 Another stint in Cali filled with classes all day and dancing all night. Treasa was back at La Vaina and when I did have spare time, I spent it chilling with some combination of Treasa, Fleur, Giorgia, Alex and Sebastian. This week was also the week that I decided to broaden myContinue reading “Cali Cali Cali”
Vamos al Pacifico 🌊💃🕺🌴
25/3/23 Having said goodbye to both Luna and Miss Aisling in the last week, I was off on a new adventure to the Pacific coast, with Treasa, a cool Irish woman and a load of other dancers. Another two girls, Fleur and Giorgia were meant to go along side Aisling, but sadly there were roadblocksContinue reading “Vamos al Pacifico 🌊💃🕺🌴”
Back in Cali
17/3/23 – 24/3/23 Somehow another week on Cali has flown by? I arrived early on the 17th to be greeted by none other than Miss Aisling who had also booked my hostel for a few days. We had breakfast together in the hostel before our days continued with classes and chilling. On the evening, LunaContinue reading “Back in Cali”
Medellin, Comuna 13 and Jardin
14/3/23 Today we had a hostel breakfast before heading out to see Comuna 13, a place famous for being one of the most dangerous places in the world only a few years ago. We were going on a tour of it, as it has since been turned around into a thriving tourist business after governmentContinue reading “Medellin, Comuna 13 and Jardin”
Guatapé has a big rock ⛰️
11/3/23 We had wanted to spend our Saturday in Medellin so we could try a lively night out in the favoured Colombian city, but sadly all the fun hostels were booked so we decided to change our plan and head straight to Guatape, a ‘nearby’ town that most people did as a day trip fromContinue reading “Guatapé has a big rock ⛰️”
Big up Bogota 💛 Home from home?
It’s got Brummie vibes 💪 7/3/23 Today was moving day once more. I got up early to go for my hostel breakfast in the nearby guest house and then went back to get my big rucksack before heading to the bus station. I was meeting Luna there, but I arrived first and it seemed weContinue reading “Big up Bogota 💛 Home from home?”
