Hola from Cartagena — Amanda, travel writer

Hey hey, Amanda, 29, in Bocagrande for 4 months. I write for travel publications and I'm using this base to cover the Caribbean coast. The heat is real, the people are extraordinary, and I'm slowly building a life that doesn't revolve around hotel rooms. Coffee shops here that work for laptop people? Tell me everything.

Amanda, we’re very happy to have a travel writer in the community! I hope you’ll share some of your discoveries and stories from the Caribbean coast with us.

Cartagena members: which cafés are genuinely good for workingn reliable Wi-Fi, accessible outlets, comfortable seating and, very importantly, air conditioning? 😅 Let’s help Amanda build her list!
