The day to day continues to transform. From doing mostly translation work at first I've been able to take the time to dig a lil deeper on stories that interest me.
Over the past couple weeks I wrotten five stories that are of my own creation - either travel stories or human right issues - they are born from investigation, interviews or experience.
THIS was my first interview in Spanish: the "forgotten hostages."
A STORY that no one else is taking about is about this Peace Community who, in their attempt to remain out of the armed conflict, have provoked violence from all sides.
Read about the plight of journalists in this country HERE.
I have also written a couple travel stories, one on places to chill in Medellin and one about this ten-course gastronomic dinner experience.
Most of my time, attention and focus is directed at work and it makes me really happy. I don't think I've ever gotten such satisfaction from a job before.
That's not to say I haven't been enjoying Medellin's epic nightlife and Colombia's natural beauty. I've been discovering the coolest divey salsa bars and converted electro warehouses.
Miss Molly Mandelberg blessed me with her company for a week and we discovered this quaint lil town called Santa Fe near Medellin.
I took a weekend trip this amazing green river that cuts through a jungled granite canyon. Rio Claro was a natural playground: swimming, jumping, rope swings, zip lines, tubing, water slides, cave exploration etc.
I've got some pretty sweet upcoming trips and stories in the making so more to come!
Blessings.
