Goodbye Medellin

Goodbye Medellin.

I leave this city feeling full and fulfilled. I have spent the last five weeks in this beautiful city. It is a place filled with rich smells, domineering deep blue mountains, vast sprawls of orange bricks, fashion, food, bars and just about everything else that you could care to experience from this amazing city. I came here without expectations but this city has impressed me in so many ways. What stands out as always, is the people that you meet and their thoughts and ideas that burn fiercely with passion. 


The experience at the Spanish school was amazing. I have met some really cool freethinking people that have fuelled my passion for travel and to inspired me to live my greatest purpose. Five weeks and 90 hours of learning at the Spanish school now complete. I was probably their slowest learner but I have learned what I could at the pace that I go with the memory that I have. I pack my bags and look around with almost a sweet melancholy. I breathe the air of this place for the last time in god knows how long as I set of too the city that is Bogota yet again. I am about to start the true test as I begin my teacher training on Monday to finally embark on the quest that has been in my heart for so long. The true test of character begins. The learning Spanish experience has been really challenging, frustrating as hell at times, daunting, rewarding, excited and left me feeling calm and empty all at once. I love how this experience has made me feel the positives and negatives which is living! Just wanted to touch base with all my friends back at home. Hope you guys are all well. Once I start teaching than you can be proud of me, until then I am just a dreamer; just chasing the dream.
