The Real Adventure of South America Travel Are the Bus Rides

April 2, 2020 by Jason B.

I will be traveling by bus this summer. A lot. 6-24 hour bus rides will be the norm and I really don't mind because traveling by bus is always a really unique adventure.

Did you forget to buy water for … [Read more...] about The Real Adventure of South America Travel Are the Bus Rides

Everybody's An Expert on Colombia

March 11, 2020 by Jason B.

The travelers in Colombia can make anyone who has been to Colombia for more than a few days lose their mind.

So when I found myself at the "Antique Car Show" in Medellin during their famous flower festival it might seem odd. During my first visit to Medellin in August, 2007, my new Colombian friends brought me to the show so I knew what to expect. The show is hilarious!  So with my … [Read more...] about The "Car Parade" in Medellin

El Penol Was Worth The Hassle

February 18, 2020 by Jason B.

I look back on this day as being one of the most adventurous I experienced. I wrote about this day back in early june , but I think recounting part of this experience is important. So after boarding the wrong bus about 3 different times I was ready to call it a day and head back to my hostel. The owner of the hostel I stayed at told me don't leave … [Read more...] about El Penol Was Worth The Hassle
