And this is one guy that was really struggling with the pandemic.

Like this was the guy that's sending me articles every single day about

covid in the pandemic you know what i mean like he's just watching the news constantly and just going crazy you know he's sending me this shit sending me he's like bro i need to get the out of here do you want to go to colombia he's like where are you right now i'm like i'm in ecuador and i'd never been to colombia and i heard amazing things about it so i said yeah why not so we had a friend in winnipeg that was a colombian national

and she basically says, hey, look, I know you guys are going to Bogota, but why don't you come meet me in Cartagena?

And if you know anything about Cartagena and Bogota, Bogota is just the capital city in the middle of the country, kind of cold, lots of shopping, lots of food and clubs and stuff, but like not the best weather.

So she's like, come to the coast, come to Cartagena.

It's like Cancun on steroids, like this little town in Colombia.

So I said, why not?

So January 2021, I go down there.

I arrived by myself first in Colombia.

I spent a couple of days in Bogota.

I go to Medellin, not doing anything, just hanging out, shopping, eating, chilling, getting to know the country.

Then I go to Cartagena.

I'm there for a day or two.

Then my friends start arriving in.

So the friend that called me, he arrives first about two days in.

Then I got some other friends from Calgary, a different part of Canada that come in and meet us.

And then the Columbia National shows up all over these days.

But the second night that I was there or third night that I was there, when when my Cuban friend arrives, this is the guy that was going crazy.

We go out because I'm like, you know, let's go check out some spots.
