 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...

Petite devinette : si je vous dis Colombie, vous me répondez ? Cafééééé bien sûr ! Salento, c'est une petite ville mignonne au centre de la Colombie et le lieux idéal pour aller visite des plantations de café. C'est également la porte d'entrée à la Vallée de Cocora, qui abrite une magnifique forêt de palmiers de cire. On pensait avoir quelques jours pour profiter du calme de la ville, mais nous arrivons le dernier jour d'un festival (oui un autre encore !) et la musique résonne jusqu'à l'autre bout du village.

A riddle for you : if I say Colombia you say ...? Coffeeeee of course ! Salento is a cute little town in the centre of Colombia and the best place to visit the coffee farms of the country. It is also the front door to the Cocora Valley, which shelters a beautiful forest of wax palms. We thought that we would have few days to enjoy the peacefulness of the town, but we arrived on the last day of a festival (yes another one!)  and the music resonated until the other side of the village.
