Travel experience

Beatriz was born in Colombia and from an early age was bitten by the travel bug. First it was the long trips up and down the Andes Mountains in the family’s Renault 4, watching hours and hours of beautiful landscape go by. Then she was an exchange student in California, a backpacker throughout Europe, and a hiker in Colombia.Beatriz’s thirst for knowledge has still not been quenched, so we find her visiting old villages and brand new art museums, butcher shops and grand stores.

She shares most of her adventures on her blog: http://suitcase-contents.blogspot.com/ and she keeps a visual record of her trips at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/suitcasecontents
