Questions (including dentists)

1) Does anyone have a recommendation for a dentist?

2) In terms of accessibility to natural areas, old architecture (e.g. not totally destroyed by earthquakes and renovations), does anyone have suggestion for smaller towns and cities to visit?

3) I am interested in staying in natural areas that are safe and not overtouristed. Any suggestions?

4) I would like to fly from Bogota to another destination and then make my way back to Bogota by road. Any suggestions on this?

For example, if I flew to Santa Marta, what road could I take back with what stops (e.g. places that are an hour to eight hours apart by bus)?

5) I would be interested in meeting expats or Colombians who are left-of-center and have international interests.

6) I also have considerable graphic design and writing and editing abilities; I would be interested in bartering these for some type of services (such as room and board in a hotel or lodge). I could, for example, edit a website or produce a brochure.

7) If anyone is interested in traveling around the country, I would be interested in companionship with the right person. (I can speak enough Spanish to get around and communicate but I am not fluent.) Please let me know.
