Alex's Journey to Colombia

Current Location

Sasaima, Cundinamarca, Colombia

Hello! My name is Alex Gallegos, and I am a Peace Corps Volunteer living in Colombia. I work as an English Co-Teacher in a beautiful, coffee-producing town. I can't wait to share more with you!

Logbooks

This week I celebrated my 1 year anniversary of living in Colombia by spending part of the week in Medellín, the country’s second largest city and a major international tourist hub.

Journals

Many of us take language for granted, but it is fascinating that we can make shared understanding literally out of air. In that sense, language is a superpower, and Spanish opens many opportunities.

Field Notes

Both mojarra frita, which is a type of fried fish served whole, and plantains are staples in Colombian cuisine.  Both of these delicious foods are produced locally in the community where I live.
