Photo of the Week: Medellin Christmas Display
Image
Christmas this year is being spent with friends in sunny Chiang Mai, Thailand. As always it’s hard to feel like Christmas when it’s 30 degrees and you have no oven to cook all the traditional Christmas food. The high number of foreigners in Chiang Mai has meant that the city has made an effort with some hotels and restaurants decorating with Christmas lights and trees.
It’s nothing compared to the huge Christmas light display that Medellin in Colombia puts on each year, known as El Alumbrado Navideño. This photo was taken there last year when we spent two months in the city. It was gaudy but fun and full of Christmas spirit.
Colombian Fruit: My Mission to Try Them All
My favourite thing about Colombia was the fruit: delicious, cheap, plentiful and there are so many unusual varieties to try. You have the usual tropical fruit like pineapple, mango, papaya and watermelon but there are many more including some that are only available in Colombia or nearby countries.
I made it my mission during our 2.5 month stay to try as many Colombian fruits as I could. There is a bewildering array so I have documented it here so you know which ones to look out for on your visit.
Lows of 1 Year as Digital Nomads in South America
Digital Nomadism.
The holy grail.
The freedom to go where we want, when we want and stay as long as we want.
We recently wrote about about the highlights of a year travelling in South America and, on the whole, our lives are as awesome as we make out.
But there is a dark side.
Photo of the Week: Street Vendors in Cartagena

The Caribbean coastal city of Cartagena in Colombia has a vibrant street scene. We loved walking around the old city admiring the colourful buildings and buying juice or fruit from the many street vendors.
