Tweet of the Week: An Expat's Life for Me

August 31, 2010 at 6:16 PM | by | Comments (2)

We love Tuesdays. Why, you ask? Because the day brings many travel tips and quips as "Travel Tuesday" on Twitter, and we're going to share our favorite with you. Got an avid travel twitterer we should follow? Let us know.

Ah, the expat life. It's what travel blogger David Lee of GoBackpacking.com is up to these days, ever since recently moving back to a town he obviously loves dearly: Medellin, Colombia. We've been following his tweets for quite some time, and and we're very much enjoying the observations he makes, such as this little bit he shared today:

Brewing my first cup of Juan Valdez organic coffee in new apartment. Planning to visit CO coffee region in early October!

We wonder—how much is Juan Valdez organic coffee when you practically live next door to the production area? David talks of visiting the Colombian coffee region soon, and already we're champing at the bit to read how that goes down. By the way, the "rtw" in his twitter name stands for "round the world," and rest assured that he's got the passport stamps to prove it...before settling in Colombia, that is.

Price of coffee

Thanks for the picking my tweet! I paid about 13,500 Colombian pesos for the 10-ounce bag of ground, USDA-certified organically grown Juan Valdez coffee at the local supermarket. That's about $7.40. As I don't drink coffee at home in the USA, I have no idea if this is relatively high or low. I do know compared to other options in the Colombian supermarket, it's on the high end.

Coffee

I'd say that's about equal to what you'd pay for an equal amount of Starbucks' Pike Place roast, as it's $9.95 for a pound. But then, it's not organic or USDA-certified. Thanks for the info, David!
