My family lives in Colombia & I live in Toronto. I love T.O, but it gets tough because I miss my family all day every day. But the toughest to swallow are the looks and comments I receive from those who have no clue about Colombia.

A much needed vacation brought me to my family, so I wanted to share with you a little of my Colombian experience: the people, beauty, music, fashion and love.

Yesterday, my darling brother and I went to the National Gold Museum (Colombia possesses an exceptional geologic terrain for gold exploration, and a high endowment of gold both historically and now in modern times. Miranda Gold Corp), and then we went to a flea Market in the capital city, Bogota.

The Gold was insanely beautiful-I wanted it all! The flea market was filled with characters and vintage pieces – I wanted it all too! Below are some of my favourite pics and stay tune for more from my Colombia. I’ll be leaving for an isolated beach house with no internet today; only sun and waves. See you soon.

BHD- Love from Colombia
