California-based traveler focused on short attention span travel. My guides provide info on how to make the most of a short trip and find the best eats (usually healthy/veg!) in town. I've spent the last 22 years traveling, living, and working overseas and love experiencing the very best a place has to offer even if I don't have a lot of time.

Hola amigos! Nice to meet you. I’m a proud Canadian, but I’ve been living abroad—primarily in Colombia and Uganda—for the last 20 years. I’ve worked as a journalist and a content creator, and I’ve channeled that experience into creating informative, exciting and entertaining multimedia guides and itineraries. I tend to focus on places that are less touristic and more authentic. I like to learn about my destinations by wandering around and talking to people. I plan, but I welcome spontaneity. Accordingly, my guides convey the essential information but leave plenty of room for your own exploration and discovery. If I had to sum up my travel interests, I’d quote the late, great travel writer, Paul Bowles: “If I am faced with the decision of choosing between visiting a circus and a cathedral, a café and a public monument, or a fiesta and a museum, I am afraid I shall normally take the circus, the café, and the fiesta.” If you have any inquiries, feel free to contact me on Instagram or

Colombia is a country of breathtaking landscapes, vibrant cities, and rich cultural heritage, making it an ideal destination for travelers seeking diverse experiences. From lush green jungles to pristine beaches and charming colonial towns, Colombia has something for every type of adventurer.
Cartagena
Cartagena, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a gem on Colombia's Caribbean coast. This historic city is famous for its well-preserved colonial architecture, colorful streets, and lively atmosphere. Visitors can explore the ancient walls of the Old Town, relax on beautiful beaches like Bocagrande, and savor delicious seafood dishes.
Medellín
Known as the "City of Eternal Spring," Medellín boasts perfect weather year-round and a vibrant cultural scene.

The Coffee Region
For nature lovers and coffee enthusiasts, the Coffee Region (Eje Cafetero) is a must-visit destination. This lush area is dotted with coffee plantations producing some of the world's finest beans. Stay in a traditional "finca" (farmhouse), hike through verdant valleys, and sample freshly brewed coffee while learning about the production process.
Tayrona National Park
