Colombia

I’d been wanting to visit Medellin for years, and now I finally made it to Colombia’s second city. Read on to find out what I got up to in Fernando Botero’s hometown!

Palomino made me feel like we had stumbled upon a secluded Caribbean paradise – postcard-worthy Caribbean beaches, but no crowds and a tropical getaway for little money!
