Barry Max Wills

Barry Max Wills is half Australian, half British and half Colombian.

For almost 40 years he has been a freelance writer for the corporate sector. For the past 20 years, however, he also has been a coffee farmer and Colombian neophyte; avidly looking, listening and learning as he and his partner Adriano navigate the passion, peril and pleasure involved in growing fine Arabica coffee in the Colombian Andes.

Very much a stranger in a strange land, Barry has not only learnt to dance to a different beat but has also documented the process, along with his ever-evolving relationship with his adopted country, in his Letters From Colombia, an ongoing narrative enjoyed by several hundred subscribers on three continents.
