11 Reasons I prefer Cali over Medellín

June 11, 2015

Culture·Plan to stay·Plan to visit·Things to do

Medellín is a favorite among tourists, expats and entrepreneurs alike, and to be fair, it is a very cool place. I’ve spent a fair amount of time in Medellín, but I currently live as a resident in Cali. Of course I am biased in my opinions.

At the western end of Carrera 34, in barrio San Fernando lies Parque del Perro – the doggy park. It’s small, and although is has a statue of a dog named Teddy and dog owners occasionally meet up there, the real reason for going is the wide selection of little

Restaurants·Things to do

Feeling lazy or have an empty fridge? Or maybe your hotel doesn’t offer breakfast – and if they do, maybe it’s the universal continental breakfast consisting of the whitest and driest bread, margarine, factory-made jam with less than 5% real fruit and instant coffee? Pathetic and not exactly breakfast for

“Colombia es muy relajado!” proclaimed my friend this past Monday – on Día de la Raza – just one of the 18 national holidays in Colombia. He was drinking beer, grilling corn and enjoying the view of the valley from his finca in El Carmen, near KM26, on the road towards Buenaventura. He is

La Colina – Cali’s oldest Bar

Culture·Nightlife·Things to do

To me, La Colina is one of those places where you have to stop for a beer while in Cali. It’s a local watering hole, that has been in operation since 1942, which I’m pretty sure makes it win the title as oldest bar in the city, that’s still in

Chilli Chang: Asian Bistro and Rooftop Bar

October 5, 2015

Restaurants·Things to do

A new, futuristic building on a corner in Santa Monica houses Chilli Chang, a new, 3-story Asian bistro with a rooftop bar. From the outside, the place looks cool. On the inside, I found the decor to be a little dull. That shouldn’t keep you from going though. The food

Picking up my mother in-law yesterday, in barrio Primero de Mayo, resulted in a very pleasant surprise. Approaching dinner time and with a slight hangover I was looking for something salty, greasy and good. Driving down Calle 14, about one block from my planned destination, I saw a big sign

Culture·Events & Festivals

If there’s one thing that Cali is more famous for than anything else, it’s salsa! Kids here dance. So do the teens, the couples, the singles, the grannies, the dogs and everyone in between. And even though Colombians all over the country dance, there’s no place like Cali when it comes

We all know pizza is bad for you, but once in a while, it’s hard to avoid the temptation. I’m no stranger to the cravings and I once spent a week in Italy eating pizza for both lunch and dinner every day. Thank God, I’ve been blessed with a great
