What Is It Really Like Living In A Tropical Country With Two Seasons

Colombia has two seasons, dry and wet.

The mountains surrounding my town in Colombia

I live outside of a tiny town in the mountains of Antioquia. I love where I live; it is beautiful. My neighbors are friendly; the birds chirp; I look out every window and see mountains or rolling hills.

The mountains are lush and green from the trees with animals grazing; most days have clouds twisting and turning outside of the grooves to create a picturesque view that you think only exists in the movies or in photos with a lot of editing to make it perfect.

Colombia

Yet nature is already perfect.

It does not need a filter; it does not need to have auto-correct for light. It is not something that we need to ever correct.

I love the rain I always have. Living in the mountains or at least in higher elevations means it is always a little colder than in the pueblo, and it is always a little bit rainier.
