I lived in Peru and Colombia for 10 years: five in Lima, three in Bogota and two in Arequipa. I moved my Peruvian wife and our three children to my hometown of St. Louis in 2019. Now she’s the expat, and I’m a “repat.” We moved to Philadelphia in 2023.

I studied international business before moving to South America. More about me at colinpost.net.

This is my ugly American blog of rants about life in Latin America and, for the last five years, repat life. New here?

I’m Writing the Memoir

A decade in Latin America. Countless bad decisions. Pseudo-deported from Colombia. Destroyed reputation among the expat community. Escaped prison or death by grace of God with all the war stories to back it up.

Subscribers get the dispatches I can’t send to everyone, personal content not suited for public consumption and early chapters from the book. If you’ve read this far, you already know this is for you.
