The tourists and personalities that touch Colombia's shores unexpectedly open themselves to falling in love with the passion of the country, and this is exactly the case of Jeremy Gilley, founder and chairman of "Peace One Day."

Following his visit, Jeremy commented: "I have visited approximately 54 countries over the last 10 years, and I can honestly tell you that my experience in Colombia left me feeling completely inspired by the people I met, by their courage, their hope, and their determination for not only peace in their region, but throughout the world. I felt supported and safe at all times and very much enjoyed the beauty of the country in all its diversity. It's a rich and vibrant country, which I would definitely encourage people to visit at some point in their lives."
