It was about time to conquer a new continent so luckily, I had some awesome coworkers who were also down for an epic adventure in South America - a whole new world with chaos and beauty at every step of the way. The first step on the South America tour was Cartagena on the north coast of Colombia in the Caribbean region: beach, heat and Colombian flair all in one little city!

Summary Days spent: 3 nights, 3.5 days Type of Lodging: Hostel Name of Lodging: Media Luna Hostel Activities: Beach bums, lots of Dancing & soaking in the Colonial architecture Cartagena is a beautiful city with all its amazing colonial architecture in the old city. Beautiful beaches such as Playa Blanca are only a 45 minute drive away. At night, the strong latino flavour of the city comes alive (Marc Anthony's Vivir Mi Vida will forever remind me of this place). Just remember to stay safe as there are scams and crooked cops at every turn. Click HERE to read more about our trip and reviews.
