@Jett: The short days all year 'round drove me crazy too! I got so so tired of never having long summer nights. I got very bored in Cali. The Medellin weather is better and I thought there was more to do but you are spot on as far as the pros ... Read More

That is great. I embraced it when I was there also. It just was time to leave for me. That does not mean that someone else can not be happy living there for the rest of their life. It just was not for me for the rest of my life but I can't wait ... Read More

Teaching for more than 6 months of the year by KermitTheFrog
It's come to my attention that I can only stay in Colombia for six months of the year on a tourist visa. I'm guessing some schools will help with a work visa. The problem with that is, since most of the schools do not hire in advance, I have ...
