Niloc - Colin Newcomer

Colin Newcomer August, 2006
Here's the plan: I leave September 1st, go down to San Diego, cross that border, and then I'm in Mexico! I'll go down Mexico to Central America, go through all the countries there, then into South America. I want to make it to Rio di Janero in Brazil by Carnival, to meet some very good friends. We'll see what kinds of adventures I have...

10-29-07
Well, now I'm back. I finally did make it to Rio, ten months later. I had the most amazing and unexpected adventures in between, during, and after. In the end, I went to 16 countries, and traveled for 13 months. It feels good to be home and rest for a while. Now I'm working on recording a rap album about my travels and the things learned, discovered, and realized. I'll be putting new songs up on my website.

I've been back in the states almost a year now, recording my albums--one with my brother, the other a solo rap album. Also, working on my photos. You can check it out on my website,

I cured the travel bug from my 13 month trip, but, the cure seems only temporary, and after a year at home, I've been reinfected. What can you do? I have a one way ticket to Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I'm taking it from there. I have no idea what this trip will be, except I want to record an album in Spanish, and get back up to Colombia...only time will tell.
Peace!

here, they just throw these hamsters on the grill
Yes indeed, it is the humans who traffic the hamsters. You see, in Colombia, hamsters are free to choose their own bowl and if you put your money on it, you win! (See the hamster races) But now I must expose the seedy underbelly of Ecuador, and enlighten you to what happens to these adorable hamsters when they are exported south of the border. An important note, my sister pointed out to me that these aren't hamsters; technically they are guinea pigs. But what is the difference between hamsters and guinea pigs really? I think it's that hamsters are chewier. Although [View Full Entry]

You see why the Medellin girls are the hottest in Colombia? Girl's got ass! ha ha. But seriously, this is a statue of Botero, a famous Colombian artist who makes everything fat. Why? As one guy unexpl... [more]
So, here I am in Medellin, Colombia, which once used to be the drug trafficking capital of the world. Well, it’s settled down a considerable bit, and last year was considered the safest city in Latin America. Funny how things change. Colombia used to be a violent country, but now, a lot of that has passed, and just in the last few years, it has been accessible to visitors. A lot of places that are closed off like that turn out to be the best to visit, I find. I’m always a big fan of off the track travel. You find [View Full Entry]

hamsters or guinnea pigs?
hamsters or guinnea pigs?
hmmm. is there a difference? Yes, guinnea pigs are tastier...
Due to the popularity of my picture of the hamster line up, I have decided to put up more pics so you can better understand this, one of Colombia's great mysteries. As my sister said best, "Don't keep all those hamster pictures to yourself." Very well, I'll share... So, it starts out that you see a lot of people standing around in a circle, in Bogota, in the Center. Naturally, you go to check it out. When you see these adorable hamsters, of course you have to smile, and nudge up closer for a better look, and to try to figure [View Full Entry]
