Medellín, Colombia
After the first 4 month of traveling Argentina, Chile and Panama I feel tired of packing my stuff. Here in Medellín I study everyday at the university Spanish. Thanks to Couchsurfing I am very much integrated into everyday life. I sleep at a CS host, Marío, have my own room, Internet and everything. And he is a very good compañion!
There is a lot of culture here, the infrastructure is really good for such a big city and I feel far my saver than in Buenos Aires or in Panama City.
Currently is rain-season in this part of the earth. That means in the afternoon it rains almost everyday for 2-3 hours. In June that should be over and I will go backpacking again. The Ands are in Colombia the widest, divided into three different ranges. I hope to peak above 5000m this month.
