Two Hoteliers in Colombia Share their Experiences...and it's not Pretty
Listen now
Description
On this week's Colombia Calling podcast, we sit down and chat with Gary Murray, a former hotelier in Colombia and compare notes on the business. Murray's experiences, on the whole, have been incredibly negative, mine on the other hand have been positive and so we look at some of the socio cultural nuances to running a business in Colombia, hear some outrageous and horrendous stories which occurred in Murray's hotel in an exclusive part of Bogota and reflect on what may have been. We cover stories and anecdotes on unfaithfulness in a relationship, petty theft in the business, dodgy dealings, money laundering and so much more. The Colombia Briefing is reported by Mathew Di Salvo. If you would like to support the podcast: www.patreon.com/colombiacalling
