Hey, my name is Tim. Thanks for stopping by. I was born here in the states and married a beautiful Colombian woman back in 2010. From then on my passion for the Colombian culture has only grown. The food, the music, people, the language and sites – just wow.

I created this website because of one thing – Arepas. I really  like to make them – and I talk about them a lot. When I talk about them, people always ask me “What are Arepas? How do you make them?” and I tell them, but it doesn’t do it justice.

So – in essence, this whole website was formed by and around the Arepa. Of course there is far more to it than that – here you can find the most delicious Colombian recipes that I have personally found or eaten through my travels.
