Time for a Big Move
When we first arrived in South America, we figured we’d spend quite a bit of time exploring and living in the various countries. While we’ve enjoyed Colombia and especially Ecuador, we decided we were ready for a big change, and so the search began. I found some very good airfares from Colombia to Spain this summer.
