Planning a Trip to Cartagena, Colombia?
Then you’ve come to the right place!
With over a decade living in Cartagena (and traveling the rest of Colombia), I’m confident this site can help you plan a great trip of you own!
About Us and this Site
My name is Adam McConnaughhay, and that’s me with my beautiful wife Susana with our favorite view of Cartagena behind us in the photo above. I lived in Cartagena from 2011 to 2022 and started this website in 2018 as a way to share my love for Cartagena and Colombia. You can learn more about me here.
I write everything on this site based on our experiences and honest advice (and Susana helps me translate some to Spanish and does a much better job posing for photos!). I don’t use AI, and I try to always go beyond repeating the same advice every other travel blogger who spent a week in Colombia shares.
Most importantly, I try to give the advice I would like to read myself. So, I hope this site will be helpful to you in planning your own trip! Please do consider joining my Facebook group and keep in mind our privacy policy, disclosure policy and terms of use.
Cheers and Happy Exploring!
