That moment of you at the lake talking about your dad, buying stuff, etc. that did it for me bro. That was my watershed moment. Thanks Karl for being brave enough to share.

Thanks so much for showing how wonderful medellín is. we really love our city, and something that make us (paisas) feel happier, is to feel and know that foreign people develop the same feeling for the city as we do. Honestly grateful with you.

Great video! Thank you for this. I just retired from the military and am researching places to live and visit outside of the U.S. Finding your channel has been refreshing, knowledgeable, and inspiring! 😊

I've just found your channel and I'm happy to keep watching! I'm an expat in Chapala, Mexico and would love to live between Colombia and México if I can make it work. My kids and I went to Medellin two years and fell head over heels I'm love. Can't wait to get back there!

My family is from Medellín and Cali. Colombia is the perfect place to live. I’m from nyc as well and We’re going to live there for a couple of months.

Your message in this video was inspiring. I’ve connected to this because the last 6 years I’ve built my company and kept grinding but eventually I burnt out and I sold everything that was making me unhappy. The hustle culture of America is amazing but it also doesn’t allow you to connect to the world. I now have my service business only and am focusing on building my company and life to be flexible. I can work for 6 months and leave for 6 months. Or maybe just be able to have the freedom to be able to leave whenever. In my opinion this is true freedom. Love your message 👍

This is really helping me to finalize my decision to move my family to Medellín!

Oh man, I had tears in my eyes seeing you talk about my beautiful country colombia 🇨🇴 when you were in Guatape, I really love your video, can't wait to visit my country again, greetings from USA 🇺🇲✌ I recommend you should visit Decameron Panaca Resort in Quindio, That's were we stayed the last time I visited, is 7 hours by car from My beautiful city Medellin. ❤ 🇨🇴✌

At some point I plan to be a digital nomad and finally start living a global work lifestyle.. Your video has insight that is helpful with planning. 🤗

This was a great video! Really well done, well thought out, and well executed.

I’ll be going back to Colombia in 2 months. I will definitely visit OCI.

Im actually a chef for the oldest steak house in Wichita Kansas (Scotch&Sirloin) I've been looking to move to Colombia for a bit ,I would like to meet the chef you interviewed..im actually interested in starting a restaurant in Colombia in the future..but I need connections and more Spanish lessons.

Great Video with some excellent insights on life, living in Colombia, and more. Appreciate Ya!

Bro. Awesome video in every way. TY fro this. Will come in handy. I'm actually visiting MDE for the first time tomorrow. Staying 2 weeks. Looking forward. All the best to you out there.

Those shots of Guatapé were fantastic! Excited for my move to Medellín this summer! :)

Thank you for having me on. It was fun talking to you 😊

Damn this was good! Moving to Medellin in January 2024 and this video sold me.

Great video. You totally stepped up your editing game.

Excelente!! Maravilloso video !! Mil gracias por darnos una clase de filosofia personal.

That was very good presentation of Medellin which I love Returning home there after one week Unfortunately my wife, who is born there and so a paisa, can return from Spain after one month. Much time to wait my sweetheart.

Oooowee you gave me chills I know how you felt on that river I am a young black man and I cry with you

23 minutes in, is the best advice you're going to hear anywhere. 1. Come try it out, don't just pack up and move. 2. Learn Spanish. 3. Patience. Things don't work fast and arent always efficient. Cost of living cheaper, the quality of life is great, people are amazing, just come and try it out. I've lived in Australia, England, America and the Caribbean and travelled Asia, Europe, America and Central and South America. Medellin specifically is by far my most favourite city of anywhere so far for all the reasons and caveats that David advises.

Great video! Can't wait for the one about Italy!

I really love your video. Amazing

So we’ll done. Very inspiring. I want to goto Medellin

Wow you haven't that moment of introspection there was powerful! I felt like it was a mystical place just watching the video!!!

Love the video! Thank you so much for sharing Medellin. I have not been to Columbia yet. I was one of those naive people that only knew about the dark history, but now you have me curious to visit and learn more!

this is an excellent video. Definitely should have more views. I stumbled across Colombia last week Lol and fell completely in love with it! I've only experienced cartagena and pasto briefly but it was amazing!

Thank you, this was so well done and informative.

This was such a beautiful and well crafted documentary, i felt all the emotions 😢 @ 16:35. The views are amazing and your story is so relatable.

Medellin es bellísimo. Thanks for visit . good vibes

What a beautiful place! Thank you for sharing.🙏 Hopefully I can visit Colombia one day. 🤗

Love these videos! I want to move to every city you’ve featured 😩

Another great video! I ask myself a lot of those same questions.... "what is it all for?" I've entertained the idea of moving overseas. This is a great video that really inspires me to know this can really be my reality.

Love it !! Also love to see your growth since your first videos in the cooking channel ! 🥰

FIRST TIME VIEWER. Enjoy your videos very much you give a new perspective on Medellin Colombia. Look forward to viewing you're videos keep up the good work.

Great video!! Medellin is at the top of our list to visit. This is pushing me to make it a 2022 priority. Very informative and well done

Good show, thanks for sharing!!!

I have been to Medellin three times & it is the truth. El Poblado district is like Beverly Hills & a restaurant to visit is Sweet Georgia Cafe n Laurles district of Medellin.

Man why your by the lake talking about your dad man my ears filled with tears cause for me I lost my mother when I was 22 and I lost my wife in 2020 so that hit my heart man so much

People mention the low cost of living, which is a huge plus, and I agree that it is low, IF you come from a country with a highly valued currency like the US dollar, Euros, Canadian dollars, British Pounds, etc. The cost of living there is not cheap per se, but it is cheap for us. If you ask the local Colombians, they would not say it's so cheap. What seems like a small amount of money to us in USD is not such a small amount to the local Colombians. It's all relative. I've had to learn to maintain that perspective to keep from overpaying for things when I'm there visiting.

Great video! I'm looking to see about visiting Colombia sometime next year, and I haven't been out of the country for a long time. I'm also interested in learning more about Colombia, started learning Spanish, and am trying to look into more to see about getting oral surgery done there to get my 4 wisdom teeths out for a cheaper price than here in the states. Should be fun videos to shoot while there. :)

Watching you from flushing New York, your video quality was excellent, in the content was great. Gracias

I teared up too.

That's it man! We're going to Medellin.

Just watched your video. Very well done!!

what an amazing video. god bless you

This is cinematography

Yes it looks amazing and it’s on my must visit list. I’m a subscriber. And I like this video for its insight and inspiration

Hey buddy another great video. I experienced that same revelation while in America with the hustle, hustle, grind, grind mentality. And in 2019 decided enough was enough sold everything in America and moved to Panama. Now after hearing so much about Medellin Colombia considering making it my second location. Been there once but coming back for my month stay to experience more of the country. This video spoke to me. Thanks for you efforts. Now do you personally have any apartments I can rent Jun 18 through Jul 19? Thx

Cant wait to visit Colombia

Great video!! I had a lot of similar thoughts. I just moved to NYC. So the difference from Medellin is wild!

Hi, thanks for the video. My girlfriend and I are doing our nomad digital experience over here in Medellin. The overall experience has been great. Unfortunately, we had an "incident" when we went out of a supermarket in Sabaneta. The security guard asked us to show up our receipts, even though we had just passed by the cashier and were full of plastic bags provided by the market. Most disappointing was the fact that they asked that only for us, the only black clients in the supermarket. We don't want to let a disgusting moment ruins our trip, but I would like to ask you whether you got some moment like this. Thanks again.

You ever go to Mangos it's mad light up there.

Great information brother 👍🏾

My favorite city in the world

great content, love your videos, keep it up parsero.

I've never feel so proud of being from medellin. The curious thing is I'm actually living in NYC just for a time, i really want to get back to my homeland . Greetings bro and remember dont give papaya LOL

Going on my first trip to Colombia in a few months with my partner. He was born in Armenia and we'll be going to all the cities to see how I like Colombia because he's always expressed wanting to move back to his home country. We live in Austin, so cost of living has reached unobtainable levels. Medellin seems so lovely, but I think first we may start out buying property in Armenia to be close to family before possibly branching out. These videos are helping me a lot in understand what I may be getting into, and I'm still very excited!

Superb content. Kudos, and thanks!

great video. Colombia today is paradise if you know how to move, Bogota, Medellin, Barranquilla, Eje Cafetero. son beautifull, everything you new tech, internet with great speeds, and entretainment with high quality

I appreciate your time, great editing and effort you put in this video. Its very helpful. I have one question though. I’m from Southern California. I grew up here and just can’t do humidity and cloudy days. I’ve lived in New York, Florida and Washington state. The cold never bothers me. I moved away because I just couldn’t deal with all the humidity. Is Medellin humid? If so, how bad is it? I’ll be visiting in December 2022. Looking forward to it. Thanks again 👍

Some lovely content. Many thanks!

Will Motivation channel: “…but the maIn thIng I must say every tIme about ColombIa: a lot of people come down here for the weather, a lot of people come down here because It's cheap, but I come down here and I love ColombIa because they have great people, just the best culture and the best people In the communIty that I've ever met, so that attracts me to a place you know It's the people, so If you ever come to ColombIa remember the people are what make ColombIa specIal.”

Great video!

Great information thank you 😊

Such a pretty baby! She looks like my daughter.

When you said the food was exactly what you needed to take that hike I was like idk that looks a lil too heavy to be climbing all those steps 🤣🤣🤣!!!

our visit was great. we olan to retire there

Great video brother.. medellin is a good place to retire for a person living in Chicago IL? It really looks amazing! Thanks so much.

Hi from Chicago 🇺🇸 great video 👍🏻

Dude. Check you out! It’s been fun watching your channel grow (& I don’t just mean subscribers).

Loven the videos but I have a question I’ve yet to see spoken about, pets!! I haven’t heard anything about how they feel about them. My father is from Manizalles and I spent 3 months in Colombia back in the 90s and I don’t remember anyone having pets in apartments. I know Colombians don’t like cats much, including my father but how hard is it to rent with a small dog?

OCI.MDE is by far still my favourite restaurant in Medellin after multiple visits

Fantástico

Nicely done video. What has been your experience with air quality? From what I understand air quality in Medellin is not so great and could be a deal breaker .

Did the Bandeja Paisa read that it cost $28 Colombian Peso?!?!

My man, you either lower the music or turn up your voice. Other than that, excellent video!

What's visa procedure like for US citizens?

What was the name of that hotel in guatape ?

Well, it is the same perspective... Colombia is America too. 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

How do you like it compared to Brazil/Rio?

Andre Rozier???

You say like Colombia no longer produces most of the coke in the world.

Medellin is america

Cant wait to visit Colombia
