It all happens way too quickly, flying to another continent, it only took me two planes and two and a half movies to cross the ocean and finally set foot on South America. And I'm not just going for fun, I'm on a mission. Trying to escape all the false fears from back home, I'm about to face some real challenges here, see what I'm truly afraid of - and then learn to accept it.
For a start it's not very helpful if the guy at the airport checking us in keeps warning us about how dangerous Medellin is! At least he organized veggie meals for us on board that should have been booked 2 days ago. Coolio.
But the journey from the airport to our couchsurfing destination has been surprisingly uneventful. And guess what, everybody has been super nice so far, from the guy in immigration office to the bus and taxi drivers in Medellin. The city looks clean, friendly and green from what we could see in the dark, and our host Dess says it's no safety issue walking around at night. But that's not gonna happen anyways, we're stuffed with 'arepa con huevos' that she made just for us (see photo) and we're super tired (see other photo)... First day was easy, tomorrow we'll go into town. Colombia, me gusta!
