Colombia

My name is Carole Turek and I have been consistently feeding hummingbirds for 25 years. My home in Studio City, California now attracts hundreds of them daily. There are so many hummingbirds here now that I decided to share them with the world on a live cam.

I began photographing my birds and my passion for photography grew to where I had to find more species of hummingbirds to photograph. I started with trips to Arizona, but to find more and more beautiful hummingbirds to photograph, I had to start traveling to Central and South America.

My last trip before all travel came to a halt was to northern Colombia to photograph the Blue-bearded Helmetcrest, one of the rarest hummingbirds in the world. To reach this critically-endangered hummingbird one must seek permission from the indigenous tribes and then trek up to an elevation of 10,000 feet to arrive at the last remaining territory of this hummingbird. The bird is so rare that it was thought to be extinct until five years ag

According to reports there are right-wing death squads who go around killing "undesirables" in Colombian cities. https://colombiareports.com/social-extermination-undesirables-colombia/

WE'VE FUCKING DONE IT LADS

It's an hour (from post) until whether we find out if we will be hosting the 2023 Women's World Cup!

It's between Australia/New Zealand and Colombia and it seems that the voting will be very close with Africa likely to decide the winner.

Can we win it? Will we see another shocking disappointment like the 2022 Bid?

Please keep all content of the Womens World Cup vote in here!

##Unique Infrastructure

I’m Colombian and actually a historian of Colombia. I’ve also taught lectures on the military and political history of Simon Bolivar. The disintegration of Gran Colombia by 1830 is seen as a highly unfortunate event by many in the Andean region , and the Bolivarian dream is still alive- the dream of political and economic integration like the EU. In any case, I think Bolivar was an impressive general and I think it’s sick af that Civ added him to the game, I’ve been waiting for this for years tbh.

Disclaimer: Never been to any of these places myself. However, Reddit has taken me there.

Would you want Pakistani tourism industry to be freewheeling like Southeast Asia and Latin America? Anyone can come and go. Eat and drink whatever you want. Local rules and cultural norms don't apply. Lots of $$$ to be made, but downside is that tourists bring loads of problems with them.

Moving to Colombia by Myself

Here's a video about it more in detail.

Ever since I was 19 years old I’ve had this dream to live in Latin America
To learn Spanish, meet some one, and get immersed in the culture. .

I wasn’t sure how I was going to do it, but I knew it was going to happen.

I kept putting the idea off. Just like everyone else, I was always saying “One day it’ll happen”
Kept using my career as an excuse to stay.

I had so much fear inside of me until I had another incident with my Dad verbally abusing me and I tol

Medellin, Colombia for $400 a Month

Hey y'all,

So if you haven't ready about my journey yet, about 5 months ago I sold all of my things and booked a one way ticket to Colombia.

I didn't know anybody or how to speak the language, but I've heard so many good things so I wanted to see for myself.

I think Colombia, but also Latin America in general is actually a really good place for Asians to go!

1. It's a good place for the Expat or digital nomad life.

2. People treat us here better than they do in the states.

3. Dating options are also better for us here.

4. Plus, the dollar is extremely strong here so you don't need a lot to live well.

The pricing here reminds me a lot of like Bali or Thailand, but with the Latin culture.

My monthly expenses are less than $400 a month. Around $393 to be exact.

In the video, I talk about rent, groceries and food, some Colombian desserts, and

I thought of this question due the recent Christopher Columbus statue beheading and the idea of changing the names of places due to their slavery/genocide history/Se me ocurrió esta pregunta debido a que recientemente le cortaron la cabeza a una estatua de Colón y ahí quienes quieren cambiar el nombre de ciertos lugares devino a su historia racists, esclavitud, y genocidio.

I love to travel, and sometimes I end up solo-traveling. I have always wanted to check out Venezuela and Colombia in particular, but have constantly been told "they are no place for a gringo." Honestly I am a very fair complected woman with blonde hair, so I know I would stick out. However, I speak Spanish pretty well. Would I actually be in danger, or is that just Americans being Americans?

Hi everyone!

I'm looking at researching the use of both Spanish and English in the countries listed in my title. I want to hear your views on how you experience both languages in your country. Is there a particular profession/reason as to why both languages are used (e.g in business, casual conversation, politics)? How does the current BLM situation make you feel in your country? How do you think Spanglish is affecting the Hispanic identity?

If there's anything else that you feel is important to research, please let me know, I'm easily inspired. This is just to get a few ideas btw, so don't feel obliged to give a lengthy response (although it would be nice to read, I'm a graduate in linguistics) :)

Muchas gracias desde inglaterra
