Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm comfortable with this in airports but not so much being last second to a cruise

I'm loving Colombia this is the perfect end to our first day here

two days in Colombia is better than no days

the reason that I mention it is because I thought our tour guide handled it better than I've ever seen it handled

YouTube Video Description

Today we cruised to our 85th country! Our first port in Colombia was the town of Santa Marta which beautifully set in between the sea and the mountains. The streets are colorful and lively, and we tried some yummy street foods. The next day we cruised to Cartagena where we got to try Colombia’s most award winning coffee! We ended the day hanging out with celebrity chef Jorge Rausch in the ship’s kitchen to learn how he makes ceviche! We have 2 more stops on our 2 week leg of MSC’s around the world cruise :) Travel vlog 594 | Santa Marta & Cartagena, Colombia | Country #85/100 | Filmed January 2019 ✈️ @DailyDrop is our FREE travel newsletter!

We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this YouTube channel to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling! So we extended our 1 year trip to now FOUR years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before 2020! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
