    Colombia’s history is marked by a rich tapestry of indigenous cultures and societies, which laid the foundations for the diverse nation that exists today. Long before the Spanish arrived in 1492, the region was home to advanced civilizations such as the Muisca Confederation, the Quimbaya Civilization, and the Tairona Chiefdoms. These indigenous groups thrived in Colombia's varied geography, establishing complex societies with sophisticated agricultural practices, intricate trade networks, and elaborate spiritual beliefs. 
    The Spanish conquest of the Americas brought significant change to the region. Following Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Caribbean, Spanish explorers began their colonization efforts. In 1538, the Spanish established Bogotá, which became the capital of the Viceroyalty of New Granada. This vast colonial territory included what is now Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela. The Spanish imposed their rule over the indigenous peoples, exploiting both the land and the labor of native communities, which would profoundly shape the future of the region.

    At the start of a new relationship, she asked a simple question. His naïve response resulted in a yearlong string of life-threatening experiences, massive spider encounters, unexpected hilarity, and...enlightenment. All in the search for love. 
    In the 1990’s, for the first time in history, it was possible to simply strap on a backpack and circle the planet while still staying connected to people back home. Through a string of nearly unbelievable experiences, this true story details how Chris and Paige Farrell slowly discover that their adventure was never actually about the crazy and dangerous things they were experiencing. It was about each other. 
    22-hour bus rides through the African bush on dirt roads, crossing the desolate Ionian Sea through a raging storm in the middle of the night, covertly navigating Syria during Operation Desert Fox’s missile strikes, a SCUBA malfunction 80 feet underwater somewhere in the remote Andaman Sea, hepatitis-infected Patpong Road darts jettisoned at unsuspecting eyeballs, machete-wielding Indonesian bandits pursuing their next victims… The journey would be documented, but the destination was uncertain. 
    In order to arrive somewhere new, you have to leave somewhere behind.
