After my trip to Monkeyland in South Africa, I became a fan of the squirrel monkey. Although they are native to Colombia and can be seen in the wild in the south of the country, I found this little guy at the zoo in Cali (not very adventurous I know). Mischievous, loud and occasionally aggressive […]

I had the chance a while back to take a road trip around Colombia a while back. While in Cali, everyone kept telling us that we had to go to the zoo. So, just for shits and giggles we went. Actually, it wasn’t too bad and I typically don’t like zoos. Like many zoos, there was […]

I spent a lot of time traveling in Argentina on my career break and a big part of that was in Buenos Aires. Most of my Spanish studies was in this city and when I wasn’t in class or doing homework, I was out exploring on foot. Bordering Recoleta, this big steel flower whose proper […]
