Compra y venta de casas en Estados Unidos

By REQ  |  Location: United States  |  12/23/07  |  Pics: 0

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...

Crazy Weather Continues in Bogotá

By REQ  |  Location: Colombia  |  11/07/07  |  Pics: 1

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 in Bogota

By REQ  |  Location: Colombia  |  11/05/07  |  Pics: 3

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. This year we decided to keep our costs down and get creative (well I guess we do that every year). A couple...

Melgar

By REQ  |  Location: Colombia  |  09/23/07  |  Pics: 0

I just got back today from a weekend trip to Melgar that happened spontaneously. My business partner Thomas asked me at 4pm on Friday if Andrea and I wanted to take a bus with him to stay at his suegra's house just outside of Melgar. Melgar is south of Bogotá about 2-3 hours depending on who is driving...

Honeymoon in Cuba

By REQ  |  Location: Cuba  |  07/14/07  |  Pics: 8

Andrea and I were married June 18, 2005 at a hacienda 30 minutes outside of Bogotá, Colombia. It was a colorful, traditional, festive wedding with lots of people and lots of flowers. I am not catholic, but I attended one on one catechism school prior to the wedding with an older very devout Catholic...

Santa Marta Two Thumbs Up, Way Up!

By REQ  |  Location: Colombia  |  02/17/07  |  Pics: 1

This week I got back from a 5 day stint in Santa Marta. I have nothing but good stuff to write about the place, people and food. I stayed a few nights en un apartamento de mi suegra que queda por la playa cerca del aeropuerto. On Saturday we took off for a little adventure into Parque Tairona. We...

I recently got involved with this Non-Profit called Healing Colombia. It is an organization dedicated to the recovery of Colombia's youth at risk through prevention and rehabilitation programs.

Paipa, Boyaca (Colombia)

By REQ  |  Location: Colombia  |  09/24/06  |  Pics: 1

Colombia is stigmatized as a violent, unsafe travel destination, but after arriving here in 2004 I found it to be quite the opposite. Just recently, for the second time I took a trip to Paipa, Boyaca located approximately 3 hours north of Bogota in flota (bus). It is a pretty small, low key town, but...
