A Love of Colombia

Hi there! I'm Patrick, a 31-year-old data scientist with a passion for Colombia and a love for exploring new cultures. Born in the US to a first-generation Irish mother and Colombian father who crossed paths in Miami back in the early 80s, I've always felt a deep connection to my Colombian heritage.

After spending years living in Brooklyn, New York, I found myself yearning for a change of scenery. With the freedom to work remotely, I made the bold decision to pack my bags and embark on a new adventure in Colombia over five years ago. Little did I know, this decision would forever change my life.

Since then, I've immersed myself in the vibrant culture and rich history of Colombia, particularly in the bustling capital of Bogota. From exploring the cobblestone streets of Cartagena to hiking through the lush landscapes of the Andes, every moment spent in this country has been nothing short of extraordinary.

But what truly captured my heart wasn't just the beauty of Colombia's landscapes; it was the warmth and hospitality of its people. Along the way, I had the incredible fortune of meeting an amazing woman from Duitama, Boyaca, who has become my partner in adventure and in life. Together, we've embarked on countless journeys, both within Colombia and beyond, eager to discover new horizons and create lasting memories.

Now, as I reflect on my journey and the profound impact Colombia has had on me, I'm filled with a sense of purpose. I want to share the magic of this place with everyone I care about back home and with anyone considering Colombia as their next living destination or travel destination. Through my blog, Colombia Expat Living, I aim to offer insights, tips, and inspiration for fellow adventurers, expats, and travelers alike.

Join me as I uncover the hidden gems of Colombia, celebrate its diverse culture, and showcase the boundless opportunities this beautiful country has to offer. Whether you're planning your next getaway or dreaming of making Colombia your home, I invite you to join me on this incredible journey.

Let's embark on this adventure together, and let the beauty of Colombia capture your heart just as it has captured mine.
