Colombia! Not what you think!

   The

first thought that comes to the mind of many Americans when asked about the South American country of Colombia is maybe the drug by the name of "cocaine".

Or how about a man by the name of Pablo Escobar.

Many Americans still believe that the Colombia of today is the same as it was twenty or thirty years ago.

Many are afraid to hop a plane and visit and many are not.

I speak first hand with a friend of mine from Quibdo, Colombia to help set the record straight.

So you have heard so much negativity about El Salvador right?

I went there in August of 2015 and I had the time of my life. 

Here in this video I explain what it was like upon my arrival.
More videos to come about this beautiful place.

The country called "The Savior" is a place with much to see and experience!

Learning a new language can be so much fun

Just think of all the cool and awesome people that you meet in your journey.

It just doesn't matter if you are as good of speaker in your target language as in your native language.

Believe me, once native speakers see that you are attempting to learn their language, they get so excited for you.
I know that sometimes we Americans can not be so welcoming to people who don't speak properly, but what do these people know? Their loss. Lol.

Crossing the language barrier is a real blessing. You automatically don't realize the color of the person in which you are speaking. You only see another person.

I have been learning Spanish for four years now and my life has changed with much impact.
At first it was a little funny, but quickly I realized that my help was just as nervous as I was.

Now I am a real inspiration to many of my friends that I have met around the world.
If you don't believe that you can do this. Guess again. Start today and discover what you have been missing.

Good Luck/Suerte
