My Two Years in Colombia

By John A Leunissen

John has loved traveling his whole life, and in the early 2000s it was the country of Colombia that captured his heart. Always ready for something new, he recounts his adventures to beautiful beaches, history-filled cities and everything the local gay community has to offer, even when it wasn't safe. More than once he found himself in guerilla-controlled areas, and he was even rushed out of a funeral because a guerilla group was in attendance But even as a gay foreigner, John shows that taking the risk-with a good helping of common sense-is always worth it when exploring a new country, especially one that isn't always first on someone's list.

My Two Years in Colombia is a memoir about John finding life, love and happiness in a country far away from home. Although there are always risks involved in travelling, he wants nothing more than to show that it's worth it to experience a new culture and to create connections with its peoples that stand the test of time.
