Yes, I think I lost my mind too.

I love coffee, or do I?

I live in Colombia, which if you are a coffee drinker know that Colombia has some of the best coffee in the world. The coffee region is about 4 hours from me, yet there are coffee trees all over where I live.

It is not uncommon for me to see coffee beans drying on the road! It is pretty cool actually.

Coffee beans drying in the streets.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think it is so interesting, that these beans turn into something amazing!

So why did I give up something I find joy and pleasure out of. I am going to tell you that, obviously, I am a blogger.

My Colombian family is obsessed with instant coffee, I hate it.

So the other day I went and bought “real” coffee. I was so excited to make it, to drink it, and to have the “coffee experience”.
