Meet Monica, founder of Colombia Tours del Eden

I have always loved to travel. I grew up spending many of my summers in Colombia, South America, visiting my grand parents, aunts uncles and cousins. My immediate family lived in LA as my parents and three elder siblings had immigrated from Colombia before I was born in Santa Monica, California. The travel bug hit me hard during summer between  my sophomore and junior year in College. I sold all my belongings, bought a Eurail pass and went to Europe for three months. During my visit to Ios, Greece, I met a Swede named Par, who would eventually become my husband. Once I arrived back in LA, a deep depression set in as I could not imagine a life of not traveling and I was completely broke. I decided to become a flight attendant, it was the perfect fit for me and continues to be a job that suits me perfectly. I am thrilled to share with you my family's  Finca, El Carmen Del Pinar, in Armenia, Quindío. and the magical realism and the beauty that Colombia and her wonderful people  has to offer.
