We`ve started our world tour end of March 2013 and our first destination on the list was South America. At this point in time for us a totally unknown part of the world with a foreign language and a lot of negatives in the press. It was a long discussion for us where to start and whether or not it`s better to start with a more known area like North America. However lastly Karin pushed it forward and today 2,5 years later we are happy and found it the right decision.

After the desert of Tatacoa with more than 35 degrees we now look forward to the mountains with more livable temperatures around 20 degrees. Our first stop on the footsteps of the Colombian Coffee is Salento the oldest town in this region. We go into a backpacker hostel a bit away from the city center where we find a space for MOMO. We are surrounded by young people travelling with backpacks and feel young and old at the same time. In the evening we sit around a big campfire and exchange travel experiences.
