Hi there, I'm Jackie a former teacher and now marketing specialist in Ed-tech (and MBA student as well!) traveling and seeing the world on a student budget all while working a 9-5. I want to help you to travel and experience it all as well!
My journey started in the classroom, where I fell in love with the Spanish language, and from there I started traveling in Latin America every opportunity I could get. I've visited every country in Central America, plus Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia in South America.
Colombia has become like a second home to me—I’ve visited eight times and can’t wait to share its magic with you on this trip!
Join me on this incredible adventure as we experience Colombia’s vibrant culture, breathtaking landscapes, and unforgettable experiences.
From the wild jungles of the Sierra Nevada to the golden beaches of Tayrona, this trip is about experiencing Colombia’s most stunning landscapes while diving into its rich culture. Wake up in an eco-lodge surrounded by nature, where breakfast comes with fresh tropical fruit and mountain views. Spend the day kayaking down the Don Diego River, drifting past howler monkeys and colorful toucans before reaching the Caribbean Sea. Hike through Tayrona National Park, discovering hidden beaches and crystal-clear waters perfect for a midday swim. Connect with the indigenous Kogui community, sharing a traditional meal while learning about their deep spiritual connection to the land. Chase waterfalls and sip fresh-brewed Colombian coffee straight from the source in the lush mountains of Minca. Evenings bring fresh seafood, sunset bonfires on the beach, and time to unwind with an amazing group of travelers. It’s the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and deep connection in one of Colombia’s most magical regions.
