Colombia has a lot of potential, it has 9 cities with a population of over a million, and they all have very different vibes so there’s something for everyone. The crime issue is mostly due to lack of opportunity, inequality, and corruption, but Colombia has been increasing investment in education, new technology, infrastructure, and industry, so this may decrease over time. Colombia, is also an emerging hotspot for entrepreneurship, it’s a good place to make money if you play your cards right. People have a very skewed perception of Colombia in general, part of me is grateful for that though because it feels like a secret nobody is aware of yet. I’m Canadian and I lived in Europe (Netherlands and Germany) for 6 years, and in my experience Colombia has much better healthcare/dental care and health/wellness facilities/culture. Even in a small 3rd tier city like Tunja you can get high quality healthcare with relatively nonexistent wait times. Colombians are also really chill and love learning about new cultures so wherever you’re from, there’s a place for you in Colombia. :)

In Medellin, an American person with a salary of between 4,000 and 5,000 dollars lives in more luxury than in America with 20,000 dollars a month.

I find this channel very entertaining, you always have some great videos. I’m Colombian and and while watching this one I even laughed a little. There’s a ton of great things to say about my country and I know my fellow Colombians will say the same. You guys mention the country is safe and I’d like to say it can be, but it depends 100% on where you are and the kind of places you visit. Every city has its own dangerous zones, usually big ones, but if you have the means you can stick to the also big nice areas. Plus, ‘don’t give papaya’ is the best advice ever 😂. Be careful out there, and this one goes for so many tourists going to Medellin with questionable plans, people, be careful, it’s for your own good, be smart. Of course you’ll find luxury, and if you earn dollars or euros and spend in pesos, well, that’s the dream for many 😅. Thanks for spreading the good things of this beautiful country. Anyways, enjoy this country, coming from someone who’s lived in Barranquilla, Bucaramanga, Bogota, and willing to try a new city

I used to live in that barrio where the house was. It broke my heart when I had to leave. Medellin is a great place.
