Hey, my friends, Hola, mis amigos, This entry would be about the Plains region of Colombia, an area where you can find such a diversity of landscapes and sceneries, but what I most miss from the region are the lovely sunsets: Beautiful tones depicting the colours of our Colombian flag quite willing to present themselves to you; as a matter of fact, this area in the north east of Colombia treat...

Hi all! Well, after so many seconds, minutes, hours, months and years of procrastination...-but highly encouraged by a most beloved friend-, I have finally got round to creating my own blog. Wow, I can't believe I'm actually doing it this time! It will be a nice opportunity to get in touch with so many friends that I've luckily gained in my entire '21' years' existence (we all know that's a lie but somehow it makes me feel younger, never you mind, sorry:); I'll be able to share some of the most precious memories of my travel as well as my day-to-day adventures. Let's just hope that my s... full info

Llanos
Hola Frank, A couple of years ago I was a volunteer in Colombia, first as a English teacher in a small town in Cundinamarca and than a photographer in the Universidad Nacional de Bogotá. After being in Colombia for more than 7 months I returned to Belgium to get my Bachelor in photography. In september I'm about to get my Master and specialise in documentary photography. But before I start I decide to return to Colombia to start my own photography project and look for stories. In the time I spent in Colombia I visited a lot of places from the north to the south of the country. After searching for a while my eyes fell on the Llanos because of the romantic/folkric culture of the llaneros. Also now Colombia is working on the processo de paz it seemd to open new doors for the country and the region. Next weekend I'm hopefully traveling to the city of Arauca for 2 days to photograph to project that a friend is working on. Later I probably travel to Yopal to stay with people I met on couchsurfing and who will show me their region and take me to local farmers. I really enjoyed reading your story so I was wondering if you have some tips for me like stories/people/places i should visit in arauca, casanare,... Thank you, Jef

Dear Jef, thanks very much for your kind message and I must say i am quite impressed by your background. I left los Llanos like more than 20 years ago and am not familiar now with what's going on there. Having said that, the folk of the region will always be fascinating, that hasn't changed and you can always have some free lessons of Cuatro and Maracas in Arauca, where you will be over the weekend. Wishing you all the best, enjoy.
