Good Evening All:

My name is Matt, really happy to be here with you all. I'm originally from the United States, most recently New York City for the past 8 years where I managed event spaces and such and even more recently returned to University where I just graduated this past May with BBA degrees in Finance and International Business. Rather than do the ceremony, I hopped a flight to Barranquilla, Colombia where I am currently on a tourist visa and actively looking for work projects to potentially extend my stay. This isn't my first time here, I've spent 3 months in 2016 staying in the city and have a large network of friends who have been helping me acclimate and look for jobs. I would love to connect with some more expats who have done this in the area! Looking forward to meeting some new friends.

Best,

Matt
