Note to self and fellow travellers....never travel with only one card. Luckily I don't have much time left in my trip as my card is now cancelled and now I must rely on emergency money and money I have lent from a friend who was also travelling in Buenos Aires. It is surprising how limited you become especially in a place like Cartagena where prices are first world. But on the other hand there is suddenly so many things that open up as you try to look through and find odd activities to do that don't cost an arm or a leg. It's been pretty eye opening because as a traveller I relied heavily on my card and being able to take money out and when that ability is taken away from you it really leaves you feeling stuck as now there is no back up or security in having the card. But it is also incredibly freeing as what you have is all you have so you are more careful and appreciate everything.
Human kindness is also so prominent in travellers because everyone has been in some situation with money, passport or valuables.
Just thinking out loud :)
