Santa Marta here I come

1 year ago

I fell in love with the most amazing Colombian Woman and I spent time with her in Santa Marta, and fell in love with the area. Under contract now for a home in Brisas Del Mar, Rodadero reserve. I made so many mistakes navigating all the strange rules and laws on purchasing property but I finally close on Jan 30th. My future wife will move in right away and I will be there in about 2 months after I sell my home back in Huntsville, AL. I love everything about Colombia, the food, the people, the passion, the music...I even love the motos and their crazy driving haha. I had 2 years of spanish, but need to get fluent so I will be taking classes as soon as I get there. I am sure I will be researching this forum for shipping basic household items, driver's license, etc...but for now I am looking forward to closing on my new home and starting my new life in Santa Marta with the love of my life. Hello everyone and may your passion for life keep burning...feel free to look me up in Santa Marta. Ciao.
