The Traveler Who Keeps Coming Back
Travel has always been my escape from the rat race — and honestly, I enjoy the planning almost as much as being there. Researching destinations, mapping flight routes, finding that perfect boutique hostal. It all started when a friend who had spent a month in Cartagena told me I had to see Colombia for myself.
That first trip changed everything. I walked through La Candelaria at sunrise, tried my first arepa from a street vendor, and realized Colombia was nothing like what I'd expected — it was better. The obsession began.
I'm not a travel blogger. I work in healthcare IT. But Colombia keeps pulling me back, and I finally decided to put everything I've learned into something useful — a site with honest prices in COP, video content from the places I've actually been, and an AI trip planner that builds real itineraries from years of personal experience.
It's the resource I wished existed when I first started exploring this country. It just took this long to figure out how to build it.
