Cartagena, Colombia

9 months in South America and North America

When I was in my early 30's, I made a promise to myself : "Girl, by 35, I want you to do be in a place that you would have chosen, not imposed on by the routine ! It can be a new home, a new city, a new job, but it needs to make you happy and you need to enjoy your life !". It is only lately that I have remembered that promise... I'm now 35 and I have realised that I'm the only one responsible for my own happiness. So I have quit my comfortable job in London and decided to go on another adventure...

Après avoir goûté à la chaleur de la côte pacifique au Pérou, je savoure enfin celle de la côte des Caraïbes. Il fait plus de 30 degrés et un ciel bleu intense. Cartagena représente exactement ce que j'imaginais de la Colombie, les couleurs des maisons, la chaleur, l'architecture, les rues.... La ville de Cartagena et sa forteresse sont classées au patrimoine de l'humanité de l'UNESCO.

After having tasted the heat of the pacific coast in Peru, I finally savour the one of the Caraibbean coast. It's more than 30 degrees and there a intense blue sky. Cartagena really represents what I imagined of Colombia, the colours of the houses, the heat, the architecture, the streets... The town of Cartagena and its fortress are listed as an UNESCO World Heritage site.
