FOTO FRIDAY: Forever Bronzed
One of my favorite sports arenas in the United States is the Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah. The arena is home to the Utah Jazz basketball team and an incredibly electric (yet sober) fan base. I’ve been to a few Jazz games here and the atmosphere is amazing. Unfortunately, I’ve never had the opportunity […]
FOTO FRIDAY: Golden Gate Bridge
I went hiking through Golden Gate Park in San Francisco last week and made it down to the coastline to get a view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Later that day I checked off one of my major American goals by driving across the Golden Gate Bridge to spend the afternoon walking around beautiful Sausalito. […]
FOTO FRIDAY: Bay to Breakers
This past weekend I had the opportunity to check out the historic 100th Bay to Breakers run in downtown San Francisco, California. Turns out, the run is just a small portion of the chaos that ensues during an entire day of celebration and debauchery. Much more on Bay to Breakers soon, but I just wanted to […]
FOTO FRIDAY: A Colombian Flower
A friend and I stopped to smell the flowers on our hike up to Pueblito Paisa in Medellin, Colombia. Pueblito Paisa was designed as a replica of a traditional Colombian village square located on the Cerro Nutibara (Nutibara Hill) off the Industriales Medellin Metro Line. The view of Medellin from the lookout area above Pueblito […]
FOTO FRIDAY: The Road to Salinas Grandes

FOTO FRIDAY: The Colombian Countryside
I just got back to Medellin after an amazing week spent peeling beans and planting seeds out in the Colombian countryside at a friend’s family finca (farm) in Cisneros, Antioquia. This week’s photo is taken from the family farm as grandpa returned from a successful horse training session. When they first started out, that big […]
FOTO FRIDAY: Botero’s Cavity Search
While passing through Plaza Botero in downtown Medellin the other day, I noticed this Botero fan trying to sneak a closer look at the artist’s work. The real question is however,… what’s that other guy reading? The plaza itself is a cool hangout spot where many of Fernando Botero’s fat sculptures are on display. The Medellin-native, Botero is […]
