Before last night, I thought my mind was open to how wonderful Colombia is and could be, but apparently I was wrong. I was still only seeing it as a safe travel destination. The idea of people from other countries living here permanently never entered my mind and when it did, I just assumed every story would be someone from Venezuela or another neighboring country choosing to make a relatively small change by moving "next door" - I was so wrong.
Each person at the party came to Colombia for a different reason and every single one sounds like one of the video commercials from the Colombian campaign I told you about. MIRA:
Thank you to everyone at the party for making me feel welcome and for sharing your stories with me. It was an eye-opening experience, to say the least.
