I’ve been operating a business out of Barranquilla since 2018. Young people have been flocking to the city over the last few years. It’s become quite a vibrant progressive and young person’s city. The economy is doing great. Lots of new construction, jobs are plentiful, and the city is very affordable. Highly recommend Barranquilla.

Couldn’t agree more. You can feel something is moving in the right direction… I was impressed!

Great to see you back to traveling Hyro. Columbia is a beautiful country with some amazing culture. It's been 15 years since the last time I've been there. If you get a chance check out the country side. You won't be disappointed. Safe travels brother.

Thanks bro, Colombia will def. surprise you! I’ve been to many other parts of it in the past. This is a region I was yet to visit and it’s always great to explore new places. Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it Kat, Barranquilla is working hard to stimulate it's tourism. Compared to Cartagena, it was never it's main focus but now things are slowly changing and it's interesting to see the effort being made.

Great video lief, of your first day in Colombia 🇨🇴 and the journey there! I don't know much about Colombia, and I'm really excited to see more of this beautiful country in the coming weeks 😍 I'm already super surprised about the cheerfulness and colors of the city of Barranquilla 💫 Love the sunset when you were at the malecon 🧡 I'm really looking forward to your experiences on the 2nd day 🌸🥰

Thanks lief 🥰 We didn’t or at least I did not expect much from the first day but it ended up being lots of fun. I also immediatly learned that they have some amazing sunsets too due to the often afternoon rain. It was sooo nice!

Good question... I can't fully recall but it was around $15 at that time. The exchange rate has changed a lot though so don't take my word for it (might be cheaper now).

You could get a 20 day voice+data package for around 5 dollars, at the current rate.

Upon reviewing your video, I'd like to offer the following insights: 1. Watching you consuming food might not be the most engaging for the audience. 2. Your participation is certainly valued; however, it may be advantageous to broaden the scope of the content's focus. While your demeanor is undeniably pleasant, the primary appeal seems to be the environment in which you find yourself. It would be prudent to accentuate the expansive backdrop and setting, as this could provide a more enriching visual experience for the audience. 3. Considering the incorporation of better quality background music could further elevate the video's production quality. In general, the video is of commendable quality.👍Your ability to articulate and describe unfolding events stands out and deserves special mention.

There’s a very good chance that I’m going with my fiancé and my four-year-old in March. How safe is it out there? My fiancé says it’s safe but it has never been there and I’m a bit nervous especially bringing my four-year-old and my fiancé isn’t gonna take no for an answer when it comes to bringing our four-year-old, I really want to go, but I question it

I never really felt unsafe but was told to be very careful, especially walking the streets. You should be ok if you stick to certain areas.

@Pobazca Жыл бұрын

You could travel on your own around Colombia. As everywhere, you should avoid slums, and contrary to other places, the city centres tend to be among the rundown parts of the city and have some hotspots at night, as the sector becomes devoid of people (they are mostly commercial), Bogotá being the exception, for the most part. Some cities are better at the north, some at the south.

@Pobazca Жыл бұрын

For the most part, you should be able to stroll around by foot, if you wished so, but around popular neighborhouds, you might wanna stay away from lonely streets.

@Pobazca Жыл бұрын

You can also travel between cities by airplane, or by bus. Expect travel times around the hour, and around 10 hours, respectively, among major cities.
