Hi, love this post that helped me, I went to Colombia Medellin for learning spanish and was a great experience. I changed schools twice but I spending 3 months in total was great to be able to speak a good spanish:
– OLSA: https://www.olsainternational.edu.co/ (been there mainly for language exchanges)
– OlaLingoCampus: https://olalingocampus.com/ (I also took online classes with Olalingo after it (https://olalingo.com/).
– Totalespanish is also a greate school.

I think that you have plenty of choices there, for other cities, I have to check it when I will go there.

In reply to Louis. You've just introduced me to the term herping which I'd never heard before! I'm afraid I don't know such specific tours, so this is perhaps a question for the herping community :)

I know Southeast Asia has an abundance of reptiles and amphibians.

Do you know of any tours that include some herping on them aswell?

In reply to Ángel. To be honest I've never noticed burning season on any of my Asia trips. But I know people living in e.g. Chiang Mai in Thailand talk about it a lot. Maybe I've just been lucky to avoid it. Simon (who's also a contributor to my blog) did a great post about it on his blog here.

Comment on How To Explore Flores, Indonesia (Komodo & Beyond) by Marek

In reply to Marlene. Hey Marlene. The main road is in great condition. Smaller side roads may be potholed from time to time but nothing extreme that I remember. You could drive Badjo to Ende in about 3 days if you're just doing a few hours of driving every day plus sightseeing stops. I would probably dedicate a full week to west Flores so you have time to explore and also return the same way back.

Hi Marek! Thanks for sharing so much infos! I will definitely follow your advice in terms of transportation! How long is the ride if you do it to return the bike from one end to the other let’s say? How are the road conditions?

Hello!! Congratulations on your blog. I thought I read that you were in the north of Laos in the months of February/March… what is the burning season like? In some places I read that it is a waste to go at that time. 🙁

Comment on Is Albania Worth Visiting? Some Honest Pros and Cons by Ana

As the country develops and its reputation for hospitality and nature becomes more known it will be as popular as Greece or Croatia.

A large number of expats (from western and eastern countries) have relocated to Saranda, on the Greek border. We offer monthly apartments here at local prices, if you’d like to take a look at them or the city, photos at https://digitalalbania.wordpress.com
