April 28th is my 10 year wedding anniversary and then May 4th is my birthday, so the hubby and I are back to travelling with a 10 day visit to Colombia. SO EXCITED!! Seeing new places and meeting new people is always the best. Travel rocks!
For today’s post I wanted to share some lovely vintage travel posters/ advertising from South American countries, in honour of our trip (please note that not all countries were featured due to not being able to find them for this post).
And away we go!
