In my second big announcement of 2013, comes the news that we are moving to Bogotá!

I´ve had an iron in the fire for a position since mid January and will finally be starting very soon.

Am I excited? You bet! And let me tell you why (in no particular order).

1. I fell in love with Colombia in Bogotá
2. I have an amazing new job that I have dreamt about for a long time
3. We will finally be living on our own in our own apartment
4. Bogotá has so many cultural activities to participate in and enjoy
5. Bogotá is a crazy, creative city
6. I get to wear nice clothes (and leave the shorts and singlets in Santa Marta)
7. No more sweating 24 hours a day (unless I am sick)
8. I get to wear boots again!
9. No more earning minimum wage
10. Getting to choose (and prepare) the food I want to eat
11. Spending time and reconnecting with my friends there and making new friends
12. Drinking water out the tap, no more boiling for 5 minutes or getting up in the middle of the night to find someone has drunk the last of the purified water
13. Having professional work colleagues
14. Having more travel destinations (Colombia and beyond) accessible to us for weekends or short breaks
15. Crepes and Waffles!

Are there any other reasons you think I should be excited to move to Bogotá?
