Awesome cultural integration!
June 29, 2026by: Diana Borro - LithuaniaI stayed with a family in Marinilla, eating local food and learning the local language. We went to schools in the countryside to teach children English and other subjects, spent time with older people and visited Medellin, Guatape, La Piedra de El Penol and more!
