MY CAMERA EQUIPMENT

Colombia, a country which many only know because of it’s violent past, has been on my list since I went to South America for my first long-term trip in 2012. 6 Years later and with 5 weeks to spend it was finally time to properly explore my country number 9 on the continent.

For the first part of the trip I’ll be traveling with my mate David to the historical city of Cartagena, some picturesque Carribean islands and to the city of Medellin where we get to learn about the violent past and the transformation of the country. After a few days in the capital Bogota I’ll be joined by my good friend Stefan to learn salsa and take on some outdoor adventures in Cali before heading up to Santa Marta where we checkout the most beautiful beaches, float down rivers and hike through the mountains.

This documentary on Colombia is outstanding. It is the best I have ever seen, beautifully filmed, produced, commentary excellent, and you chose not only the main tourist attractions but you went off the beaten track. Congratulations from an English woman who has lived in this delightful country for too long to disclose.

[ruxandrasava]

Loving your video, the fact you took the time to deeply experience the places you visited and not just to hit the most turistic instagramable spots, and not least the fact that you're pronouncing the names of all the cities in proper Spanish - shows so much respect and cultural awareness. Bravo!

[stephaniepedraza]

Amazing documentary! I'm Canadian born but raised in Cali as my father was Colombian. Thank you for taking me right back to my city. Great job!

[imeda-lighting]

It's worth visiting if you have time.
