Medellin, mi amor
The 3rd country has been crossed off the list and it was a tough one to cross off because I never wanted to leave. All my friends in the know told me I would love Colombia. They were not wrong. Medellin is an amazing city. Easily my favorite city thus far on this Polaris journey. I had high expectations coming in for Colombia and not only were they met but they were exceeded. There was nothing I didn't like about it. Let's start by pointing out Medellin is so lush, so green, so mountainous, and so jungly. It's beautiful. As a guy who prefers beaches to mountains, I was overwhelmed with the mountainous beauty of Medellin. The food was very good, the people were very friendly, be it locals, fellow backpackers, or travelers alike, and the vibe was just solid. There was a decent amount of rain (thanks mom for the umbrella even if I already managed to lose it!) but it was still pleasant all the time. Our living accommodations were pretty splendid and basically everything overall
