Assalamo alikom wa rahmato Allah wa barakato
My country has been hurt by the media as Islam has: many people around the world still think that we all have something to do with drugs and trafficking. In fact, the first time I saw drugs close to me, being consumed, was in London.
They also believe that we live in primitive huts in the mountains and we all carry arms with us for our safety. They also believe that if you go out to the street, most likely you're going to be kidnapped!
Yes, brothers and sisters, I'm talking about Colombia.
We also suffer from the media just showing the bad side of it! But in reality you'll be surprised how different and beautiful can be.
I have lived in Miami, NY, London, Edinburgh and Australia, but my favourite place of all is my country, believe it or not!
We have all the weathers of the world at the same time. It depends in which region you are. For example I come from the capital, Bogota, which is in the colder side(about 13-20 degrees C. all year), but if you drive about an hour you'll be in a different weather, colder, or warmer, you can choose, it depends on how away you are from the sea level.. We have deserts, tropic, snow, cold, or hot...al the year round.
That's just one thing to share about my country.
