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: xotsualuyok

nickoferrall 5mo

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

thisismike 5mo

Hey sexy peopleeeeeeee how's things in Colombia

thisismike 5mo

I'm planning to move to Medellin for 6 months a year: who's doing something similar? How's it working for you so far? Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️

mauricetess 5mo

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

mauricetess 5mo

Ah sh. We missed each other. Didnt see notification and never logged in again. Where are you now?

markus 5mo

last night in Medellin

datwelk 5mo

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

markus 5mo

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.

datwelk 5mo

Thanks!

angelovt 5mo

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

datwelk 5mo

Yep tnx, they asked indeed

datwelk 5mo

maristia 5mo

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

harisekhon 5mo

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

orimane 2mo

girlgoneabroad 2mo

In El Poblado, going to the run club this weekend - if you’re also going, let’s say hi at the pool party!

jdjuan 2mo

Anyone in Manizales? Just looking for nomads to connect and my co-work 😊

I moved back from Austria 🇦🇹, it was lovely but a bit too expensive 😁

tonyjara 2mo

Hi! Me and my wife where supposed to go to Colombia from October 16 to the 31, she’s not gonna be able to so I’m re planning the whole trip, I land in Cartagena and have to fly off of Cali, I speak Spanish English and Portuguese, I’ll probably rent a car so really open for anything, probably gonna go to Bogota or Medellin at some point so if anyone is down for a roadtrip or hang let me know!

ambareguizabal 2mo

Hola! Anyone in Medellin?

balintd 2mo

Hi, we'll spend at least a month with my gf in Colombia probably around march and also visiting Medellin

markus 1mo

Wow, you plan your nomad life German style 😅

markus 1mo

I am thinking about coming back in January for 3-6 months. I wanted to double down on one of my bases (Medellin is one).

rorizvi 1mo

How is Manizales now after the earthquake? Was thinking of heading there from Medellín where I am now, next week

jdjuan 1mo

Quite alright 😊 we only had 7 buildings down. Other cities have up hundreds I believe.

Commerce, turism, and everything else is operating as usual

markus 1mo

Wow, that’s amazing - my ex employee in Pereira said that his life is still affected

jdjuan 1mo

Yeah, Pereira can be different. There it was quite too much

rorizvi 1mo

I was considering heading to Pereira next week, but maybe not a good idea?

Anyone in Medellín and down to meet up ?

markus 1mo

Pereira is great - don’t stay in the center.
People need support from tourism the most now
Cocora Valley is really beautiful!

romancores 1mo

Salento in very recommended!

markus 1mo

Yeah, Salento was nice. I had a beautiful view on the mountains from my place

fraserh 1mo

Hey anyone in Medellin? In Colombia for a couple weeks mostly Medellin then maybe a few days in Bogotá at the end

franlitvay 1mo

just left a few days ago for bogota

franlitvay 1mo

first time?

fraserh 1mo

Yeah first time I’ve got some friends who are staying in Medellin longer term

fraserh 1mo

So far I’m sweating and there’s a lot of hills out here 😂

markus 30d

Poblado isn’t the only place to live as a gringo in Medellin 😅

fraserh 29d

You caught me 😂

tonyjara 29d

Anyone in Cartagena?

markus 29d

You will love Laureles close to Primer Parque

fraserh 29d

It’s also a good area to stay? Was just outside of there today at Pueblito Pasa

markus 29d

Yes, much better than Poblado. Just stay away of the bar areas unless you don't mind loud noise. Windows are like paper in Colombia

markus 29d

😅

franlitvay 28d

yep

franlitvay 28d

from Estadio to Laureles down to Belen Rosales overall is quite good

very walkable, green, good security and variety of commerce around you

always stay in one of the 3

markus 28d

They are all very different.
Laureles much cleaner than parts of Estadio - also with smells near the river and a few drug addicts in some parts of Estadio.
Belen is great for the stadium (sports complex) but can be noisy from airport depending on how the apartment is facing,

markus 28d

I have enjoyed the variety

markus 28d

My landlord in Estadio often has apartments available in the building were I stayed which is much more flexible than AirBnB and I enjoyed the quiet side street.

janessaklatt 21d

This group seems like it's been pretty quiet, I'm guessing not enough people around to plan a meetup for Medellin?

kevinm 20d

im surprised its not as active! I'm down to plan a meetup in Medellin if anyone's around

markus 13d

It's so easy to meet other nomads and expats in Medellin. So I think people don't feel the need to post. I am in Vietnam at the moment.
