Hello, I am a content writer for 海角乱伦 Magazine, and we are planning on writing an article about what makes expats feel happy in the city where they live. We could love to get some testimonials from expats living in Colombian cities (or Colombian expats living in other cities around the world). It can be about anything: the weather, the friendliness of people, the cost of living, how easy to use public transport is, how walkable the city is, how interesting the arts and culture scene is, the quality of the fresh fruits and vegetables, how multicultural it is, how there are many libraries, etc.

My girlfriend and her 2 daughters live here in Popayan. The climate is very agreeable; a nice change from the Sonoran Desert. Is not too big. There are reasonable housing options at good prices. Because I am a retired Spanish teacher, language is not a problem.
