Cocaine Princess here.
Grateful.
Back in 2005, me, sissy-poo, & our mom took a trip to Cartagena to celebrate my birthday. Unfortunately, the trip was cut short because our mom fell ill. A few weeks later, she was diagnosed with cancer, and nine short months later, she lost the battle. Seeing how 2024 is an extra special birthday year for me, there was no doubt in my mind Cartagena was the place I wanted to celebrate, not just for me but for my mom, to redo the trip. Being here in Cartagena feels like I'm walking into the inside of my heart- there's no other way i can describe it. Sadly, Colombia is a country that gets a bad reputation and is seen as dangerous, especially said by those who have never been or experienced the culture, life, and the people. There are dangerous parts, but that's the case of every single city in the world. Common sense and self-awareness go a long way. I was here solo, out and about everyday and night, and there wasn't a moment where I felt unsafe. It's a city filled with loving people and is rich in culture.
Thank you, Cartagena, for being so wonderful and loving to me.
XOXO,
Cocaine Princess
