Hey yall - gonna be in El Plabado, Medellin from next weekend and will be attending Nomad Spanish school. If anyone has any recommendations or wants to connect hmu! :)

Avianca has cheap one way flights from Madrid to Medellin at the moment

I can vouch for that, I took one 2 months ago for 300€

Whaaat? NO WAYYYY

Yeah, it’s the same offer now. I just booked Bogota-Frankfurt direct premium economy for 600€ in 3 months

How you guys would rate quality of services in Colombia? ( doctors, beauty, repairs ets...)

What kind of repairs?

Hi, I am Jin from China and I am currently expanding my friendship to LATAM. And I have someone who wants to collaborate with me. DM

I’m in Oaxaca, Mexico till 11th of May. Let me know bro!

Is anyone flying from Germany to Colombia soon and could bring a document for me? It's a certificate that I need for crossing into Ecuador from Colombia

Is anyone ever stayed more than 183 days? Did you declare taxes?

Did you already get your permission to stay longer than 3 months? 🤪

Nope not planning to stay more than 3 months.

To cross with a motorbike? Try asking in one of the German WhatsApp groups in Medellin

Exactly, can you invite me or is there a public link to join?

Hi! I'm looking for people who wanna do paintball + karting in bogota. Who's in? I will be here for next 2mo

Who is in Barranquilla right now?

I hope you can solve it with the 3 groups I DM'ed you!

I can't not agree more. They don't have a strong safety precautions here like in US and quality varies a lot...

Hello Folks anyone looking to meet in Medellin ?

Maybe in a month ;)

Hello, Sure, I am in Medellin

Heys guys is there someone staying on San Andres island?

I’ve seen a lot of people talk about how dangerous Medellin is-

Is this in general or for people with no clue and 0 street smarts…

I cannot get a general sense really

I’m also wondering how much of your day is spent thinking about safety (if you live there)

IE:

Anytime I leave the house I think of:

-bringing a fake wallet
-where my taxi/uber is going to pull up in case something happens
-where they will drop me off
-what I wear
-always looking around me to see what’s going on
-if it’s approaching sunset, I need to make sure I’m in an area where when the sun goes down I won’t be in danger
-etc etc

For reference, grew up in NYC/BOS so, some crime but not crazy.

Currently living in Bangkok and I feel spoiled how safe it is here. I think I’ve lost my edge a bit, I walk down the street with my headphones on at 3am drunk off my ass and have 0 worries about safety.

Walking at 3am drunk in Medellin is a recipe to get robbed obviously. Besides that the biggest risk for foreign men (they target mostly men) is to use dating apps, getting drugged, everything stolen and often getting bank accounts cleaned out.

Who's in Santa Marta?

Me!

what do you guys think of this free app I built. I made you guys a bogota Colombia map with only
Gluten free spots in like 10 seconds

Been running numbers on sending money out of Colombia lately. On roughly 3.6M COP (around $1,000 USD), the spread between the top-ranked app and a local bank transfer is about $37. Same amount sent, very different landing.
Curious what setup people here use for getting COP out internationally — Wise, Remitly, local bank, stablecoin route, some combo?
Happy to DM a full breakdown to anyone interested.

Hey everyone 👋

I’m Anouk from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 currently living in Medellín for my study abroad until June 16.

I’m into fitness, sports, entrepreneurship and meeting new people. Would love to meet some fellow nomads/remote workers here and maybe work together from a café sometime ☕💻

Feel free to message me here or on IG: ajwqiksilbp

If you cross by land into Ecuador you do not need any paper from the police saying that you're clean. This used to be the case, and many websites still say this, but this hasn't been the case for the last 2 years. I made it to Ecuador 🎉

been using Plenti

Any coworking spaces in Bogota you can recommend? Looking for something with a good work set-up and community, ideally near Parque 93

Wework locations

Hey sexy peopleeeeeeee how's things in Colombia

Emprendu. Calle90/carrera 13.
It was around 700k cop monthly. They are very nice, very clean, and every morning they offer you some fruits or things. And there is a super nice cafe at the entrance of the building

last night in Medellin

Hey guys. Does customs ask for a return ticket when flying in from a visa on arrival country?

Immigration didn’t ask me the last few times I arrived.
The airline will often require an onward ticket to let you check in.
Expedia gives a full refund within 24 hours.

Thanks!

Anyone else in Bogota these days? There's Nick and I. Let's connect!

Yes, I am in Bogotá today

What are everyone's favourite areas to stay in Medellin that aren't El Poblado?

From my travel notes page on Colombia (same link in IG above, see there for more details):

Laureles - leafy gentrified suburb with many restaurants & cafes

Hey damn I missed out on this..how was it? Do you guys wanna meet up today?

I will watch England match

Laureles is great. I'm in between Laureles and Belen

Thanks!
