She has previous travel experience in Latin America, having visited Peru, Chile, and Argentina, but Colombia will be new territory. “I am excited to explore Colombia's diverse geography of mountains, forests and beaches,” says Bryant, who is from Pasadena, California. “ I'm also excited to experience the current development of the city of Medellín and its transformation since the end of the drug wars.”
