Hi we're Chris and P. We have quit our jobs and sold our house to follow our dream of travelling around the world for 12 months!!! Let’s jump back about 2 years - We're driving to P's friend’s house for an evening meal when she turns and says "I've been thinking..." And what a thought that was indeed. That thought turned into buying a dilapidated property and spending a total of 2 years 'doing it up' ourselves coupled with a new job and a wedding thrown into the mix for good measure.

Blogging from Paradise!
What a memorable place for your 100th blog--congratulations! Perfect beaches, boulders, forests, warm swimming water and no traffic--excellent! I will definitely go there now, too! Amazing that you saw some indigenous people there--I've never read that on any other blogs, but so sad about the little girls having babies--so dangerous for them. But how magical for you to both be in such a special place and glimpse those who still live in their traditional ways. Great photos, too!

Re: Blogging from paradise
Thank you Tara. We would definitely recommend Tayrona Park, it's just so beautiful and picturesque. It was sad to learn about the young girls of the indigenous people here. We love that despite the tourism happening around them, they've still maintained their traditions and culture but the young pregnancies is probably one aspect we'd like to see ended there. Still, it was a bonus to actually see them let alone manage to take a picture.
