    I was so lucky that a friend told me about InterNations before I came to Bogota. I had the chance to contact many expats there from home.

Living in Barranquilla

It will probably come as no surprise to hear that living in the Caribbean can be an absolute pleasure. But moving over permanently isn't the same as taking a long holiday, or staying for the weekend; it takes time, preparation and some serious self-confidence. To get your footing, it might be a good idea to learn a little bit more about the history of the area, which can be discovered at the Museo Del Caribe, a brilliant museum with a collection that details Barranquilla's past, as well as that of the Caribbean. There's also the historic center of 'the Sandy One', which is a sight to behold, and was declared a national monument in 1959. Living in Barranquilla can be hard for fresh expatriates, which is why InterNations has built up a network of expats who are willing to help those in need.

Moving to Barranquilla

In the Expat Magazine there are numerous articles with a host of tips and hints that are of immeasurable worth, on subjects from finance to dealing with culture shock.

    I was a little bit afraid before moving to Colombia - a new language, security issues, no friends. InterNations helped me settle in, though.
