|| My year in Colombia (2005/2006)

From the 29th of July 2005 until the 15th of June 2006 I made my social year in Colombia. A complete year I was learning and knowing a new culture and language.
 5 month after I came back to Germany I went back to Colombia.
Since 1341 days I am back now in Germany.
With my website I want to show you Colombia, my experiences of my social year here in Bogota D.C.
Bogota D.C.

After i was in the last ICJA-Camp in berlin my trip continued as followed:
On Friday the 29th of July 2005 I had my flight to Frankfurt, but I wasn`t alone. The other exchangees from ICJA also travelled to southamerica, so in the beginning we had the same route.
After a short time in the airport of Frankfurt, we had the longest flight: Frankfurt - Venezuela. This flight took about 10 hours. In this time it is suggested to sleep, so the time is not so long and everything goes faster.
Then I arrived in Venezuela, and we had to say goodbye. Some went to Honduras, Bolivia or Equador. But my next stop was: Colombia/Bogotá. But I had to wait in Venezuela about 6 hours for my next flight...
