Question
Hellooooooooooo
I'm from Medellin Colombia but live in Canada and would like some tips in how to find an old friend. Any ideas?
Thanks!!!
Hello,
Depending on the age of your friend you might try social networking sites such as Facebook, Hi5, and Myspace in that order. Facebook is hugely popular for people ages 15-35 here but you may get lucky if they're a bit older. I helped someone find a girl he saw in a singles ad using these sites. All I had was part of her name and the video.
Besides that, you might try finding a telephone directory online if any exist. I know the yellow pages are online at www.paginasamarillas.com, so if you know where they work, you could get lucky.
It isn't as easy to find someone in Colombia as it is in the U.S. or Canada, but the last suggestion I have is to google them. Look them up on Google and just follow the leads to see if you can find something.
Best of luck.

Expertise
I can answer questions in English and Spanish on nearly anything relative to visiting Colombia. I can be particularly helpful for visitors to Bogota and visitors interested in buying Colombian emeralds during their travels. I can answer questions on how to apply for a business visa and offer a contact to help with the process.
Experience
I have visited Cali, Medellin, Pereira, Bogota, Cartagena, Villavicencio, el Parque de Cafe, and Santa Fe de Antioquia several times before moving to Bogota. I speak Spanish and English fluently, I have gone through the process of getting a business visa and cedula de extranjeria. I have several reputable contacts in the emerald trade and work with them myself. I have close contact with an adventure tour operator that knows every inch of Colombia.
