Hello, I’m Andrew Macia, and this is my blog.
I love Medellin! I started this blog in 2013 order to help my English as a Second Language students in Medellin. I no longer teach English, however, I continue to write about my life here in Colombia.
I’ve been living and working in Medellin since 2010 now, and I want to share my experience with the entire world. If you have any questions, feel free to email me or leave comments.
