Durante los últimos años descubrí que existe una gran falta de información acerca de la compra y venta de casas en los Estados Unidos. Este hecho me inspiró la idea de cerrar la brecha de información con un portal educativo sobre bienes raíces. Decidí escribir un...

Something is going on with Mother nature and Bogotá is having the strangest weather since many people can remember. One of the Matador bloggers Ricardo posted some photos about the hailstorm that took Bogotá by storm dropping 6 feet of hail in less than 10 minutes on Saturday. On Sunday there was a...

Halloween isn't a big deal in Colombia, but I was able to track down a Halloween party. My experience living in Latin America you see a lot of witches and devils and nothing really off the wall.
