This is Megan having a moment of out-loud truth. Colombia was never on my radar. My impressions were based on damning news cycles and comedy bits from popular sit comes like Modern Family. I thought Colombia = danger. https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1560957123-1f12158888ed?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&ixid=eyJhcHBfaWQiOjEyMDd9&auto=format&fit=crop&w=500&q=80 Photo by Jorge Gardner on Unsplash @gardnerjorge However, that is one of the reasons I wanted to have Joni Wu on the program. I saw that she was on a trip there and immediately asked if she would like to be on the podcast. Joni has impeccable and discriminating taste. She usually travels to new destinations to research new options for her luxury seeking clients. With this in mind my impressions started to change. https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1534943441045-1009d7cb0bb9?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&ixid=eyJhcHBfaWQiOjEyMDd9&auto=format&fit=crop&w=500q=80 Photo credit Ricardo Gomez Angel @ripato on Unsplash Right away, we talk safety and the locals deep regrets that "danger" is the impression tourists might have about their country. After interviewing Joni I have to admit a great curiosity about Colombia and putting it on my list. Post Covid-19 travel restrictions being lifted I want to go to Colombia. After we move back to the United States it will be in easy striking distance! In the show notes you will find the Colombia Board of tourism's website. It is a great resource and will give you a great idea of different climates, geography, national events and THE FOOD or Colombia. They also have great videos to wet your travel appetite. Forth coming will be Joni's show notes for the topics discussed on this episodes. Special Guest: Joni Wu.
