Medellin (3)
Yesterday, the tour guide of the city walking tour recommended to go to a small square in the city center after 5:00 pm to experience the life of local people playing music and dancing. I took the long-distance bus from Guatapé back at just the right time. I stood among the crowd for half an hour, watching the locals sing and dance happily, and was deeply infected by their enthusiasm. Old men and old women walk lightly,...

Guatape
In the morning, go to the coach station and take a bus to the Guatapé boulder, two hours away from the city center. The girl sitting next to me on the bus chatted with me all the way, and I admired myself for over an hour in Spanish, and then fell asleep after overusing my brain. This girl is an aboriginal in a small village, moved to Medellin 13 years ago, and is now a civil...

Medellin (2)
Recommended by a friend, I participated in a free city walking tour of Medellin (just give a tip), and decided to go to the one at nine o'clock in the morning. The tour guide was very interesting, using his personal experience to let me understand the more real history of Colombia and Medellín, not exactly what was depicted in the TV series "Narcos". Medellín was once known as the "land...

Medellin (1)
I made complaints about VivaAir’s low-cost airlines. If you don’t have a paper boarding pass, you will not be allowed to board the plane with an electronic boarding pass. It will cost you to print the boarding pass at the airport. It is about 13 US dollars. It’s really expensive for such a piece of paper. In the morning when it was dark, I rushed to the airport. I left in a hurry and forgot my glasses at the sofa owner's house in Bogota. Arrived in Medellin to receive his...

It has been a whole year since I started backpacking alone last year, and I started a new journey again, going to South America for the first time. El Salvador connecting flight to Colombia. The little Brazilian beauty sitting next to San Francisco on the same flight lived in Santa Cruz, and when they arrived in El Salvador, they also transferred to Colombia together. Chatted all the way, and then talked about Southern California, her husband is...

New Zealand - North Island
I flew from the South Island to Auckland to meet up with my friends from Beijing, and finally got a good night's sleep in bed. Go to Mount Eden in the evening to watch the sunset and sunset, the colors are super beautiful. Chinese restaurants are ubiquitous in the city of Auckland, and there are big ups and downs everywhere. Just walk around and practice your legs. Commemorating the victims of the Christchurch shooting a week ago is common on the streets...

New Zealand - South Island
Before coming to New Zealand, I heard from friends that you must rent a car to play, otherwise it would be too inconvenient. I think it's boring to rent a car alone, and I don't want to drive the car for so long. Friends also said that if you don't want to rent a car, you can try hitchhiking. New Zealand is the safest country for hitchhiking. I was in a semi-panic state until three days before flying to New Zealand because of…

Melbourne
I took a flight from Sydney to Melbourne early in the morning. The owner of the sofa here came to pick me up at the airport. His legs were not very good, and he just had knee surgery a while ago. Picked me up to his house in Fitzroy, a suburb of Melbourne, famous for its bohemian culture, very artistic, with giant murals on the streets and alleys. Compared to Sydney, Melbourne is more my...

Cairns
Last night, I had a connecting flight from Singapore to Bali. I waited for four hours, and flew for about four hours at 11pm and arrived in Cairns at 5am local time. Two hours later, I didn’t sleep much on the plane. Taking a taxi with a British girl from Singapore on a flight to Cairns is much cheaper than taking a bus. Our female Uber driver seems to have just…

Before, because I was not too careful, it was too late to confirm with the Sydney sofa owner (Sri Lankan Sydney native), and he had already booked with other sofa customers. Unexpectedly, he was very warm and kind. Yesterday, he took the initiative to temporarily ask several of his friends if they could accommodate me. In the end, a Sydney friend of Lebanese descent agreed to accommodate me. Arrived late last night...
