I visited Ocaña, which is a town famous for its role in helping Colombia become free from Spain. It is the hometown of one of my best friend's (Anita), so I went to explore it through her eyes!
I am currently a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant at the Universidad Industrial de Santander (UIS) in Bucaramanga, Colombia! I will spend 10 months here teaching and learning. Join me!

Here, I explain what I have learned about Bucaramanga's history and the story of the flag of Santander (the state Bucaramanga is in). It is very confusing, complex and interesting!
I interviewed two of my students that I teach at school of their experience of growing up in Bucaramanga! I also work with their dad who is a professor at the university.
My friends and I took a 10-hour bus from Bucaramanga to explore Medellín. It once was dangerous, but it has grown as a city, and is now safe and beautiful! Here are some photos of my journey.
