Meet San Antonio. He’s my manager and matchmaker. He sits on my shelf next to cards from my London friends. He was thrusted into my hands as soon as my suitcase hit the wooden floor in my new room as a gift from a concerned relative.

He is meant to give me a job and a boyfriend. I am meant to pray to him for both.

Yep, as Colombia takes today off to celebrate ‘International Worker’s Day’, I thought it was a good time to introduce you to him.

As I stare out of the living room window onto the ghostly empty streets, I salute all the hard workers and am grateful that most people have the day off.

Now I am looking forward to finding my dream job…(oh, and man)…
