About Me
Hi everybody, I am planning a backpacking trip through South America. I will start in August 2024 and would like to meet other nature and culture connected people who want to start the tour with me. I am already a year earlier in Paraguay and participate in a research project on biodiversity in the rainforest. If you also want to discover this incredible continent I would be happy to establish contact and possibly then do something together in South America.

Solo travel experience
I visited Medellín, Cartagena, and Barranquilla. I flew from Cancún to Medellín, then from Medellín to Cartagena, Cartagena to Barranquilla, and finally Barranquilla back home. As for transportation, I used airplanes for all my trips. I paid with a card for almost everything, and they give you a good exchange rate. In Medellín, I stayed in Provenza and honestly found a super cheap Airbnb. I visited Guatape, it's beautiful and you shouldn't miss it. The food is delicious, especially the cheese, and chocolate. I returned at 4 a.m. once, and to be honest, I felt safe. In Cartagena, I stayed in Morros City, where I had a spectacular view. Everything was close to me except the downtown area, which wasn't far away, but I preferred to use a taxi or Uber. You can use Uber without a problem, it's very cheap, and also taxis, but you should ask how much they will charge for everything. In terms of safety in Cartagena, you should be more careful, especially at night, and avoid walking in the early morning, that's all.
Posted: September 19, 2023Solo travel experience
I spent 14 days in Colombia with a very low budget. It was my first time getting on a plane, and I visited Santa Marta and Cartagena, where I felt very safe. I met kind and helpful people along the way. I was quite scared, but now I feel like I'm capable of anything. I highly recommend Parque Tayrona if you love nature. It's a true paradise.
Posted: September 4, 2023Solo travel experience
I went on my first-ever solo trip to Colombia. I had an amazing time along the coast. I went to Cartagena, Santa Marta, Minca, Tayrona National Park, Palomino, Cabo de la Vela, San Andres. I felt super safe the whole time. I strongly encourage visiting this beautiful country.
