Settlement

map of Colombia filled in with flag

Colombia for me means the land that raised me and helped me to be a better person. It is a country where people do not care what condition they have, they are always happy. It is where all climates are seen and it has a special beauty. Colombians speak Castilian Spanish. However, political corruption has generated insecurity and the exodus. Now I live in Canada, a prosperous and beautiful country, the third cleanest country on the planet. It is a very safe place and it is a refuge for many people from different nations, which allows us to be in contact with different cultures. Studying and working in Canada is a privilege. In Canada modesty is one of the most adorable virtues. Here apologies happen constantly. Now I am Canadian, and I love living in Canada.
