Who inspires to you? What makes you happy? Those are questions that recently were in my mind and finally I got this: I am a passionate traveler who loves discovering new cultures, people, places and flavors and I want to inspire you to discover and enjoy the world because you only have once chance to live. I want to be an ambassador of my country to show everybody that Colombia have hard workers, happy, kind and brave people who have overcome many obstacles but now we are ready to be better tan yesterday. For this dream, I promise myself to know my own country to discover what makes us unique and great. In the middle of my travel plans I found out a sale to visit “La Guajira” so, I took the opportunity and I finally visited the northest part of south america. I started my trip visiting "Palomino Beach" and I loved whatching the strong sea who mixes its water with the Palomino River and let me have so much fun connecting me with the water and the magicals sunset that surprised me every day. My next stop in my trip was: Riohacha, the main City of "La Guajira" and I could discover more about the Wayuu Culture (an indigen community of this region), I walked around the pier seeing the "mochilas" handmade by this community and I listened "Vallenato", the popular music of this region of Colombia. Walking around Riohacha I saw many toys with the shape of pink Flamingos and I discovered that they are characteristic in some towns of this region, then my next destination should be: "camarones". To find out this Flamingos was a complete journey because the lagoon was dry, then I had to across the desert by motorcycle to find oud another lagoon where this beautiful animals go to eat and rest during the afternoon, but I finally saw this magical moment: many pink Flamingos Flying around me and staying over the lagoon looking for any to eat and in front of this I had the opportunnity to see another magical sunset. Maybe the best sunset that I saw over there was the day that I arrived to the “Cabo de la Vela”, as a sunsets collector I was lucky to see the sky transform from blue, to yellow and red color as a painting of fire in the sky. This was so magic! I could be telling you what I lived day by day in this paradise, but what I want is invite you to open your mind to new possibilities. I went to this Region to understand how they are and live and I found out a natural Paradise full of hardworkers and talented artisans who still try to preserve their traditions. Before this trip I thought that going to a desert was not a good idea and now I want to come back again because the view is so magic that you will be in love as far as you arrive. Just imagine a desertic Region who makes you happy with its landscape formed by the gold sand, emerald sea and blue sky all the day. And if this was not enought, imagine that the sun says goodbye with beautiful and colorful sunsets day by day, Can you imagine this?. Yes, It is possible! Every town or city that I visited in this Region had great landscapes, I discovered that this Regions of my country is an spectacular Sunsets machine and its citizens are lucky to have been born in the in the middle of that paradise, but many of them don´t feel like that because of the poverty of the region. I invite to you to visit this magical paradise who has been forgotten by the government of my country, they need that we visit them and help them to recognized how lucky they are to be over there and help them to take care of their beaches, streets and sea because the garbage is surrounding the towns and cities, maybe because by now the don´t recognize how important is to take care of the environment that they have.
