Digital Nomad in Bogota

"Gold Museum on a Tuesday morning - no crowds, walked straight in. Spent four hours going through every display. Grabbed ajíaco nearby at a local spot, burned my tongue but worth it."

Solo Trip to Bogota

"Botero Museum courtyard on a Thursday - the inflated figures are even weirder in person. Took the bus to Monserrate after, the fog rolled in fast. Got a good photo before it disappeared."
