Qué tal, de Medellin?!
I have now been in Medellin, Colombia for three days and I have a strong inclination that my title is probably wrong from a grammar aspect. Well, I am still learning and studying along the best I can. However, I did have the opportunity this morning to head out with some new friends I have made at the school that I am attending and went to explore a part of the city in order to get a nice view of Medellin and see some street art along the way.
I hope to see and experience more over the next month whilst here in Medellin and I promise to post more once I explore the region more extensively. Basically, I got off my 24 hour journey to Medellin from Vancouver Island, took a cab to Él Poblado, which took about an hour, walked into the hostel/Espańol school and went straight into a private lesson. Saying I was a little tired is quite an underestimate... Lots of lessons, as well as meeting and talking to people/fellow students from all around the world has filled my last few days in this new city.

Now, no doubt there are areas in Medellin that aren't exactly safe for tourists but the area I am staying in Él Poblado is kind of the main safe tourist area to be in. There is lots of amazing restaurants, cafes and bars to check out and quite a lot of street art scattered everywhere from peoples doors, walls and anywhere else imaginable.

I am well aware that there is so much to tell about Medellin and the incredible sights and the friendly people that live here and I will definitely be doing a more extensive post soon. However, I have to run off now, Steemians and meet up with some local artists who are considering taking myself and a few Spanish students around the neighbourhood tomorrow and talk about their street art. Stay tuned for more adventures and photos!!

You are adding to the growing sense I have that I simply must visit Colombia within the next few years. It started with a visiting shaman/native elder who left a deep impact on me, and has just continued to build from there from different people talking about their trips there. Thanks so much for sharing the pics and your journey. Looking forward to seeing more.
I’m on a bit of a walkabout myself right now, currently in NM. Nice to let the road sometimes be one’s main teacher.
A very amazing place
Wow,, so nice..

beautiful pictures as always. Do you already know how to speak Spanish?
thank you! oh no. Soy aprendiendo poco a poco.
Es muy facil jaja, poco a poco.
si
Just let you know Colombia is spelt with an O not a U. Colombians get really pissed off when you spell it like that
Thanks, mate! I have made the correction. I have much to learn when it comes to Español
The girls are so hot in Medellin! Every man must go there at least once in their lifetime!
