Day one consisted of a long boring day of travel and nerves from anticipation for an exciting trip full of new people and coffee experiences that I was ready to embrace fully. My anxiety had been with me all day (I’m not great on airplanes) because of all the unknowns of this trip, but my curiosity brought a sense of anticipation and dare I say, excitement to see Colombia, meet new coffee people and try great coffees from the Best Cup competition.
