Beyond Borders: Embracing Life and Love in Colombia

Continuous learning is crucial, especially when learning a second language, given the ever-evolving nature of languages. Acquiring a language isn’t a one-off endeavor; it’s a continuous journey demanding unwavering commitment. This approach ensures that learners reinforce and consolidate their knowledge over time. Regular practice strengthens vocabulary, solidifies grammar rules, and hones language structures, preventing the loss of previously acquired knowledge.
As learners progress, consistent practice refines their speaking, listening, reading, and writing abilities. Immersion and regular exposure make them more fluent, precise, and confident in their language usage.

In July 2022, I traveled to Colombia to meet my girlfriend in Manizales for the first time. It was during this trip that I found myself captivated by the vibrant culture of Colombia. After spending an unforgettable two weeks, I was resolute in my decision to return and make this beautiful country my permanent home. This desire led me to American School Way.

My life took a significant turn on September 21, 2023. Despite the weariness from a prolonged flight and the customs clearance process, I was warmly welcomed by some wonderful individuals – Caroline, Nicolas, Laura, and my incredible girlfriend, Lili. Though it was late and everyone was exhausted, I was buzzing with an indescribable energy. Simply put, there’s something about Colombia that invigorates me. Every day since my arrival has felt like a blessing.

Currently. I work at the Restrepo branch and have been there for nine months now so please stop by and talk to me. I have so many incredible stories to share with everyone so stay tuned. I’d like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone at American School Way – every department and especially the students. My first anniversary in Colombia is on the horizon, and it’s an occasion I eagerly anticipate. To me, working for American School Way isn’t merely a job; it’s an integral part of my life. I’m committed to assisting everyone to the best of my abilities. The most rewarding aspect of my job is getting to know the unique stories of each individual I meet.

That’s all for now. Until the next update, stay safe, and thank you for joining me on this journey.
