"hola/kia ora; in 2005, at age 42, I finally left home (NZ) and travelled to Brisbane (I have since returned home to Taranaki), and while over there, I met and made some wonderful friends from Colombia who lived, worked and studied in Brisbane and was privileged to be allowed to mingle within the local Colombian and Latin American community; and fell in love with the people; culture, music and dance; and thought, gosh, if this is how the Colombian community are in Brisbane, imagine how friendly, colorful and happy a whole country of Colombians would be like; so my big wish is to travel to Colombia to dance salsa in the streets of Cali!!!"
