Visit me in San Andres

[Razial]

Hello to all,

I live on San Andres and would be happy to meet any expat living in Colombia.
I have lived here with my Islander wife and my 9 year old daughter for several years (I am one of two Americans allowed to live here full time.) If you would like a different taste of Colombia then this is the place. I do nothing here but fish, dive (Here and Provenience) smoke Cuban cigars. Play dominoes, drink rum, watch the girls and sleep in my hammock. If you want a real view of this Island and its original people not the tourist ripoff view. Let me know and I will show you one of the last real Crib Islands.

It is a multi cultural country with number of beaches and luxuries. It has boasts creamy white beaches, turquoise waters, great watersports, duty free shopping and an active night life. It has moderate climate. And there are also many famous hotels for bed and breakfast also.

The next time I get together the money to visit San Andres, I would love to get together.

I´ve been there 5 times and still find the island interesting and enjoyable.

Hello Razial!

I'm a Pole who travels around extensively and am now considering moving for some time to San Andres. I have a travel agency in Poland and thought I could start some new business on the islands. Would appreciate if you could share some information about life in general out there. Thank you very much for your time.

Best,
Adrian

Great diving here last week went diving with some boys speared 250 + lbs fish 15 lobsters all over 4 lbs 5 King crab and 14 lbs Conch. That was a 3 day trip to the outer cays. Sorry spearing is only for islanders but the diving is great. Even better on Old Provendence.

Razial,

That fishing interests me like crazy. When I lived in the states I loved trout fishing in Utah and ocean fishing around the Sta Cruz islands off of Southern CA.
Whats with the spear fishing in your area? Are you saying that only locals can spear fish legally?
