It’s a very chilled town, maybe this is what Bali was many years ago. Also love the dogs and the beaches around here.

A few fancy hotels/apartments in the making. Lots of hippies/and a few meditation options

Wifi is not great everywhere, so it’s a perfect place to do nothing

Hey everyone,
I'm considering coming to Colombia for a year. How's the safety situation there nowadays?

lludol 3mo

Dress like a local (ex: if they don't wear shorts, don't wear one), don't go to weird (poor) places alone, take accommodation in safe (rich) area and it will be all good! And if you are still scared, just use Uber! (based on what locals told me and my experience, 3 months in Colombia)

lludol 3mo

By the way, if anyone is in Bogota, just send me a message. I am here for the next two weeks!

phn 3mo

I have my 3rd months coming up now, and I didn’t have any issues so far even that with my height I cannot fake of being a gringo.

Mainly stayed in Laureles/Belen in Medellin so far but also did some short trips around here in Antioquia and to the Coast

I can really recommend safety wise, although maybe it helps that I don’t party much and always take Ubers at night

felipezap 3mo

What city are you going to?

tomas2503 3mo

The nicest one 😁 I know I want to go to a Spanish speaking city in Latin America and stay for a year. I still haven't decided on a country. I'm looking for somewhere pleasant to live for a longer time, affordable and preferably warm. I have on my shortlist at the moment Colombia, Argentina, San Salvador and Ecuador. I'd appreciate opinions of people who have spent time in different Latin American countries.

felipezap 3mo

I would recommend Medellin, pretty good weather, lots of things to do, great people.

Been here for 5 months with my fiancée and it’s been great

markus 3mo

Ecuador was nice to travel around for 4 months. Quito and Cuenca get quite cold and I found it really boring after a week

albaalbina 3mo

Hey! I’m heading to a few cities in the country soon and would love to connect with other nomads or expats while I’m there. If you know of any local groups, chats, events, or ways people stay connected in different spots, I’d really appreciate a quick DM. Just looking to tap into the local vibe a bit 😊 Thanks so much in advance!

nthnjns 3mo

Any can't miss spots in Ecuador? If I'm planning a month in Colombia should I still make an effort to visit?

markus 3mo

I loved Ecuador. Galapagos islands are amazing and affordable if you book hotels directly, the Amazon was great, Cuenca is a foodie paradise

bobbyk0312 3mo

Cuenca is a foodie paradise? how so? I spent a month there. food was ridiculously cheap, and there were some good restaurants, but hardly a foodie paradise (IMHO). Tiesto's and Cositos were pretty good on the higher-end scale, and there were good, cheap local places. what did I miss?

markus 3mo

Yes, for a week. Tiesto was nice but I liked other places more (both cheap and high end)

nthnjns 3mo

Ok thanks for the info

robertodjm 3mo

arthurfd 2mo

Hi, question about Santa Marta region, going there soon.

Which areas would you recommend to stay?
Considering factors like safety, beach clean for swimming, internet, restaurants, nature.

Initially I was looking at these options: Santa Marta center, Rodadero, Taganga, Bello Horizonte.
Let me know about them or any other nice area.
Thanks

How’s Bogota these days in terms of nomad popularity, safety, etc?

I‘ll return to LatAm end of this year and Bogota will likely be where I land.

Wondering how long it’s worth staying for.

viewdean 2mo

Stay in Rodadero. I lived there for a long time and the coast of Colombia for about 2 years.

annafri_ 2mo
