My Experience in Colombia

(Aldo Visibelli)

My experience in Colombia has been full of emotions. I was very lucky to stay in “La Macarena” (in the center of Bogotà) with a great person, Tejas Agudelo and another volunteer, Rajeev and live close to friends like Elisa and William. I really enjoyed my stay in Bogotà. I did an internship at “Campaña Colombiana Contra Minas,” where I learned a lot. I was working in a great environment and with awesome people.

...I really enjoyed going out in Bogotà. By night I have gone out more in the center, “La Candelaria” as it is closer and cheaper than the “Zona Rosa” or other areas in the north of the city. Overall I think that Bogotà has become a safe place to stay and live in...

..The reason why I liked this city so much is because it has lots of opportunities, it is developing really quickly, it has lots of culture, art, an ancient and beautiful center, a really developed, safe and pretty north, a strong middle class and it is a cosmopolitan city...

...there are many other things, sights, places, cities that Colombia has to offer and I haven't seen, but in two months and being a full time intern in Bogotà, I consider myself quite lucky for all I have seen and experienced during my stay. I  am really satisfied with my experience and wish all the best to this amazing country...
