Cartagena and Medellin, Colombia. February 2018.
A tour through the fortress of Cartagena, where reggae filled our ears, and the Medellin valley, where revitalization greeted our eyes.
Travel partner: Lane.
Colombia: a country of contradictions with a history to match.
Poverty juxtaposes progress, but hope abounds.
Flagrant coffee and infectious laughter just a short drive from Medellin.
An aerial perspective grants a sweeping understanding of Medellin’s sprawl, diversity, and one’s own privilege.
Around every corner in Cartagena, weaving in and out of the tunes of champeta wafting through the night air, a warmth and coziness rewards those who pay attention.
