A colombian here, love your program. Loved your description of our tinto: " it is like the country that is best at coffee, decided to enjoy it in the smallest possible increments.."

I cracked up instantly when you mentioned the napkins. I'm Colombian and this gets on my NERVES. It's like napkins are some kind of luxury good.

I'm colombian. I absolutely love content creators who are foreigners living here, bc they give us perspective about the good and the bad things we have. And it's important, bc we only are aware of the bad.

The napkin 😆🙌🏼 so true. You cut a napkin into 4 pieces. That’s part of the pre shift duties at bars and restaurants. Oh the memories 🇨🇴💕

Putting cheese on hot chocolate. I do that here in the states and it has become a full topic of conversation with local friends.

I love the friendliness in Colombia. In Australia they all stare at the ground in the elevator with awkward silence. I know which I prefer.

@theamericano, EVERYBODY HAS A BEAUTIFUL FULL BREED FUR BABY !!! , Even the person with the lowest income that I met , they love them and care for them . I’m originally from the DR , there are thousand of stray dogs in the streets suffering , here in Bogota have only seen 1 , literally one stray , in a city this big ! Those babies are allowed in the IKEA carts , at clothing stores , at a lot of nice restaurants, I mean it’s like they are people ! that’s one on my favorites things about walking around … seeing soo many beautiful and well taken care dogs :)
