Adam McConnaughhay

Adam McConnaughhay grew up in Columbia, South Carolina and studied History, Political Science, and Latin American and Caribbean Studies at the College of Charleston. Afterwards, he moved to Cartagena, Colombia for a year long volunteer teacher experience and has been there ever since. In addition, to continuing to teach History at a bilingual school, he writes about Cartagena at CartagenaExplorer.com. When not working on one of those things, he might be found traveling around Colombia, reading a book, enjoying a cold craft beer or mojito, and/or bumming it at the beach.

This American volunteered as a teacher in Colombia and ended up living in Cartagena

After finding out I both liked being in the classroom and living in Cartagena, I found a paying job, then another better one, and then another better one, and now in 2020, I am still living in Cartagena.

I didn’t quit my job to travel the world. I made a job out of traveling and you can do it, too! I’ve been traveling the world non-stop for 14 years now. I’d like to believe I am not traveling anymore – I just choose to be somewhere else all the time.
