114: Isabel Cortes and Life in Colombia

Life in Colombia with Isabel Cortes About This Week's Guests Isabel Cortes was born in Colombia but grew up being the "odd-one-out" Colombian by going to a private school, working in France and Belgium. We cover several aspects of living in Colombia, including a few words on how drugs have made a huge impact on Colombian life. Her tips on becoming more culturally competent are: * Travel as much as you can and get to know the local people as well. This is a good way to learn some of the local cultures. * Read as much as you can. Try to get your information from more sources, rather than only one. * Work on yourself; get more tolerant towards other cultures.
