Does this happen to you too? As soon as you book a trip somewhere, it seems like everywhere you turn you start to see or hear news articles and stories about where you’re going. For me it seems like a day hasn’t gone by since I booked my trip to Colombia when I haven’t come across something about Colombia. Last weekend there was a huge article in the NY Times<\/a> about dining in Cartagena, a couple weeks ago Lonely Planet released a video about travel to Bogota<\/a>, the blogs have been abuzz with plenty of stories (here’s one<\/a> and here’s another<\/a>) and just this year Anthony Bourdain taped one of his episodes there<\/a>.<\/p>\n And not to be outdone, Budget Travel, that bastion of provocation and instigation amongst travel circles (ok, well not really but a few Argentinians may have some contention with the following) is proclaiming in this article that Cartagena is : “The Next Buenos Aires<\/a>.” Slam! Take that you Porte\u00f1os and your world-class football. But seriously, it does seem that Colombia is finally — and deservedly — receiving the credit’s it’s been due. I’ll be leaving for there in three weeks to work on some videos and articles. E-mail me<\/a> if you have any requests for what you’d like me to check out while I’m there. I foresee lots of eating and drinking, listenting to music, enjoying the sun and beaches, and practicing my broken Spanish with the locals. But I’m open to suggestions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Does this happen to you too?
