About

On November 29, 2007, I left Virginia for a dream trip around the world.

After visiting 20 countries on five continents over 14 months, I found myself enamored with Medellín, Colombia in early 2009. So much so that I canceled my flight out of the city.

I began this blog to chronicle my experiences living in Medellín and traveling around Antioquia and Colombia. The publication has since expanded to include a team of writers.

In February 2013, I released the first edition of my all-original Medellín Travel Guide: Insider Advice from an American Expat in Colombia.

And in December 2014, I and a partner released the first version of our custom-built Medellín Guide iPhone app (download for free on iTunes).

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.
