Connecting with locals and hearing their stories is at the heart of our 'Travel for the Mind' journeys. ⠀ ⠀ In the UNESCO listed jewel in Colombia’s crown Cartagena, George Negus met Alberto (right) and Tom (left) at a café located in the walled city area of Getsemani. ⠀ ⠀ Alberto’s family lost their family farm twice during the protracted civil war, he was at a tender age of two when this happened. His dad, though illiterate, managed to bring his family to #Cartagena to restart their lives. ⠀ ⠀ Tom was born in Australia and came here with his best school friend who had studied international relations with a part of that course spent in #Colombia. They returned together to initiate the Stepping Stone Café project which now has four partners and has a thriving patronage, which has enabled them to pay back their initial investment of US$30,000. ⠀ ⠀ Alberto has now worked for two years at Stepping Stone Café, a non-profit enterprise helping to transition young people from humble families into regular jobs. #TravelfortheMind #ThoughtfulTravel
