we GOT SCAMMED in COLOMBIA | Night Bus from Bogota to Salento
Whelp.. we got scammed.
We had been so careful prior to this vlog about avoiding many of the common taxi scams. We always took Uber or whatever local equivalent we could find because we've just heard so much about taxi scams in Colombia. But we couldn't do anything about it and had to hail a taxi because we were in too much of a rush to wait for an Uber and... we got scammed. It was a frustrating travel day, but at least we made it from Bogota to Salento in 1 piece. All-in-all a learning moment for sure.

    This is so inspiring. My mind has been consumed with thoughts of him. It's been 6 months since he left, and the pain feels like a physical ache. The laughter, the memories, the adventures they're all gone. I've tried to distract myself, but the harder I try, the more I think about him. How do people truly move on? The memories are still so vivid, and I miss him more than words can express.

      Sweetheart, I’m so sorry you’re going through this. My heart aches for you. Last year, my fiancé ended our 3 year relationship without explanation, and I cried every night. It was one of the darkest times in my life. But I want you to know you’re not alone I’m here for you. In my search for healing, I reached out to Father Tosin Ayodele, a spiritual counselor, and it made all the difference. With his guidance, my fiancé and I reconnected, and we’re back together now.

    I recently went through a difficult breakup. My five year relationship ended few month ago, and it's been incredibly hard. I still have so much love for my ex girlfriend, and I can't seem to get her out of my mind. Despite my best efforts to win her back, nothing has worked, and the thought of being with anyone else feels impossible right now. I know it might sound odd to share this here, but I miss her deeply and can't stop thinking about her.

      I completely understand the pain of letting go of someone you love. I went through a similar experience when my 10 year relationship ended. I couldn't imagine my life without her, so I tried everything to rekindle our love. I eventually found guidance from a spiritual counselor, and their support helped me bring her back into my life.

The Gosselinks were friends of our family and we played in the buildings every time we were there. The Pella refugees landed in Baltimore, not Boston. My great-grandfather was a Pella wooden shoe maker. A pair of his wooden shoes were presented to Teddy Roosevelt when he came through Pella on a train from Des Moines to Keokuk.

    My “boyfriend” and I went through this the summer before senior year. I didn’t understand and I was devastated at the time LOL but he needed the summer to get himself together and deal with some demons that I knew nothing about at the time. We have been together ever since. Married 15 years now with a 14 year old son and a 9 year old daughter. It all comes down to communication and work ethic, and selflessness. Other people do not have a crystal ball and we get so aggravated with people because we assume they must know how we feel and that they are doing whatever it is, on purpose. Unless you have a real deceitful spouse, that’s never the case… communication! We have even had to really work on that again in the last year. It can be an ongoing thing sometimes as you go through the seasons of life!
