About
Maira and me @ Blue
On November 29, 2007 I left my home in the Washington, DC area for a dream trip around the world. After visiting 20 countries on 5 continents over 15 months, I found myself enamored with Medellin, Colombia in early 2009. So much so that I canceled my flight out of the city.
I began this blog to chronicle my attempts to find work as a first-time English teacher and further develop my online income and travel writing experience, all against the backdrop of learning Spanish, salsa dancing, and enjoying all the region has to offer.
After 6 months of living in Medellin and neighboring Envigado, I returned to the USA in July 2009. In order to keep the blog going, I am seeking contributors. If you are interested in writing for Medellin Living, click here to learn more.

I hope the site will continue to serve as a useful resource for travelers curious about visiting this beautiful, vibrant, friendly, and increasingly safe country.
Sincerely,
Dave
