Love this!! I just got back!! It's crazy my husband is from Colombia and I have been many times but my family is too afraid to go because they think it's dangerous. They have no idea how amazing and beautiful this country is! Just no dar papaya and esta todo bien!

When I go back in May it'll be my third time in Medellin. I am hooked. I will retire there. I have already started making plans. My retirement may be 13 years down the road, but yes. That's the place for me....

I have been on a nomad living in colombia binge on youtube, and this video just helped even more. I visited for the first time in November last year, and now I'm planning to move there in April to stay for a few months. Thank you for sharing!

love your video! I been to Medellin 3 times and totally agree, the perception of Colombia from the years of war has given the outside world hesitation on visiting, but as long as you aren't flashing your expensive electronics or pesos and watching your surroundings as in any big city, I felt very safe in Medellin (compared to Bogota lol) . Beautiful country and the people are so friendly

Before, Costa Rica was from Colombia together with Panama. Ecuador and Venezuela but the Costa Rican accent is the most similar to the Colombian for being once from the same country That is why the culture of Costa Rica is very similar to that of Colombia.

In some places it’s better to explore by yourself, but in Comuna 13 getting a tour is a must, the whole story of that area is a difficult but amazing one, it would’ve given you a whole new perspective; shame you missed it but may be you can check some other videos or read about it it get a glimpse, I highly recommend it. Enjoy the city! 👍🏼😁

Crosby Grace big ups to you 👍🏻. Nice informative vlog. Tigo is the mobile service provider to go with. Barrio Manila has a nice community of Digital Nomads. It's near Lleras Park in El Poblado. Check out Openspace which charges about $4 bucks for the day pass so you can do your remote work. It's in Barrio Manila. Good advice about staying safe.

My channel will be focusing more on hard journalism when it starts, but how safe is it to really carry cameras around like that? I keep seeing videos of other travelers getting mugged.

Any kind of work which requires a high level of concentration and precision cannot be done from a laptop in a cafe. Anything less than a quiet undisturbed place with a 27" monitor, would be like career suicide for me. The idea of moving often for extended periods of time, a year or more is a lot of work in and of itself, involving a lot of research, preparation and also risk of things ending up not being adequate as described online (airbnb deceptions for example). Once you've been around, for most people it would probably come down to selecting the best place for them, 1 or maybe 2 places, but the idea of going around continually is simply unsustainable, although a great adventure that is worth sharing and living for some.
