jeniapus 1mo
tons of gringos
language exchange events are always full of gringos wherever you go xD
jeniapus 1mo
hahhahahahaha yes
in 1 year living in bucaramanga i've met just 2 gringos spontaneously on the street, and then when i went to the language exchange I've met 3 the same day
it's like
jeniapus 1mo
๐Ÿคฃ
jeniapus 1mo
haha
jeniapus 1mo

jeniapus 1mo

jeniapus 1mo
actually rio is a good fit
jeniapus 1mo
nature + city
jeniapus 1mo

jeniapus 1mo
i do like mexico city but its too expensive lol
rcsligar 1mo
Salud pan in laureles
rcsligar 1mo
I canโ€™t blame them honestly, itโ€™s much more difficult than Spanish
omtare 1mo
thank fck for that, would be the last thing we want
its not

it's the same language group
felipezap 1mo
Any recommendations for language exchanges in Medellin ?
do you want to go for a language exchange or like most people for dating?
felipezap 1mo
Language exchange
felipezap 1mo
Iโ€™ve heard about the concept but never seen it live
then don't go to Mundo lingo
felipezap 1mo
Good to know
lot more slang in Brazilian portuguese
plus more people have had spanish classes in school i presume
rcsligar 1mo
Pronunciation is quite different, I have lower intermediate Spanish and can barely understand a word of Portuguese
jeniapus 1mo
agreed .
i think unless spanish is your native language it will be super hard to learn portuguese and understand it
I feel like this whole discussion is super subjective because how hard or easy a language really depends on what your first language is

portuguese and spanish are from the same language family, so theyโ€™re objectively close, but that doesnโ€™t mean they feel the same to everyone

itโ€™s all about linguistic distance for you personally rather than some universal difficulty scale
giustina 1mo
Thank you!! We went to Alma Natura tonight ๐Ÿ˜Š

&& ckxwhweep looking forward to trying Salud Pan.
felipezap 1mo
Portuguese is very easy if you speak Spanish, theyโ€™re both romantic languages. Same happens with Italian. Lots of similar words and sentence structures
The pronunciation of portuguรฉs seems much different to me even though there are a lot of similar words. That said I'm at about B1-B2 level with Spanish and spent some time with someone who only spoke Portuguese and we could understand each other enough to get by with occasional help from the translation apps.
markus 1mo
Many Colombians will talk to you in English there. I went to Gringo Tuesday in Provenza this week because I was nearby. I hadn't been there for over a year. I don't like the vibe and there are many foreigners who are only in town for a few days. That said they have dedicated tables to speak intermediate Spanish.
markus 1mo
Some are smaller like the language exchange in Galeria LaFond in Laureles on Wednesday evenings, it's more quiet and easier to talk
phn 1mo
Do you have any links to the one in Laureles?
phn 1mo
How do you guys take out cash? Those ATM fees are killing me ๐Ÿ˜…
felipezap 1mo
I go on davivienda, and take a big load of cash so I donโ€™t have to do it often and when it asks me if I accept the rate, I just say no. And it spits out the cash anyways
markus 1mo
Here is a great website for all language exchanges, dance events, hikes, etc. in Medellin: https://www.spanglishevents.com/
markus 1mo
Servibanca has a 2 million COP limit. Then I keep most of it in my apartment.
rcsligar 1mo
I donโ€™t like the vibe there either
phn 1mo
Thanks!
Are you referring to the conversion rate? You should always say no to that, as the ATM will rarely if ever give you a better rate than your bank. I doubt you can say no to the transaction fee, and still get any cash.
markus 1mo
No, but I just looked it up in my online banking - it's 22500 COP.
felipezap 1mo
Bancolombia was like 27,000 last week
felipezap 1mo
Insane
and they still only let you withdraw 600,000?
felipezap 1mo
Yeah
neusvc 1mo
If you want to update it, Davivienda was 26000 COP today. And max. amount 400.000 ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ
Some cards will have limits at Davivienda, but the general limit is higher
The 26000 is good to know, that will be universal
manuelr 1mo
Yeah I was able to get like 1.2m without issues , but 26,000 cop sounds right
phn 1mo
Same for me, and Servibanca claims you can 2mio with foreign cards will check that next time
it is so
Hey guys I used to keep track of my shopping expenses manually per city like many of us do. But got fed up and created this shopping list app that does that automatically among other things. Hope you could give it a shot and let me know if it works for you as well!
elovian.com
markus 25d
Hey Inti, I pay most things with Apple Pay so I just tap with my phone via Revolut. It categorizes expenses automatically.
It's only available for Europeans.

What do you need the shopping lists for?
Hi Mark, great point. I keep my shopping and grocery lists separately from other services like payment methods or stores (specialty for recurring items) so I could choose how I get them and keep my lists independent. Also having lists per country with their currencies and getting montly spending reports have helped me a ton. Another thing is syncing with my wife, specially if we're both getting items from the lists and also getting notifications when addingnew ones. But I'm also looking for new ides from the community. Is there anything you don't have right now that would be helpful you for you?

Hey guys. Iโ€™m currently in Brazil thinking of going to Colombia next. Iโ€™m considering Pereira or Santa Marta as a first stop. Anyone who has been to either I would love to hear your experience. Iโ€™m a bit fried on Medellin.
pablos 18d
Pereira has a town feeling, Santa Marta itโ€™s at the beach, lots of party there
pablos 18d
Beach in Santa Marta is not great btw
pablos 18d
Better san Andrรฉs island
felipezap 18d
Iโ€™ve heard bucaramanga is great
felipezap 18d
Cali is up and coming
felipezap 18d
Found a new hike outside of Medellin
felipezap 18d
I paid a tour guide to take me to the best cliff jumping spots
felipezap 18d
Itโ€™s in Cisneros
felipezap 18d
The tour was 55k cop with lunch
felipezap 18d
No transportation
branaust 18d
san andrรฉs is good for 4 days max. not ideal for long term stay.
branaust 18d
i stayed for 8 days. cheapest non-shit hotel was 110 a night and it was still shit i got sick.
branaust 18d
the beaches are the most beautiful iโ€™ve ever seen. but trust me youโ€™ll be ready to leave after a few days
rcsligar 18d
I enjoy hiking a lot, I only knew of parque arvi when I was there, went on others outside of Medellin
phn 18d
I think Santa Marta can be nice, loved the vibe on the weekend trip and so many nice restaurants. But the nice beaches are a bit further away, but could be nice for some nice weekend trips
horatzyou 17d
Hello! Anyone in Medellรญn for the next week? Or anyone willing to give some recommendations? We're 3 Romanians looking for some socializing ๐Ÿค™

Hey, anyone in Bogota wants to have a drink or coffee? ๐Ÿ˜Š I am in tech and online marketing
๐Ÿ‘‹, anyone in Medellin wants to hang out for a drink? I am in business financing and marketing
rickalon 12d
Hello guys, any recommendations for staying in Bogota? what are the best zones to stay at if you want to stay on the safe side and also close to the center?
๐Ÿšจ Hey everyone, quick heads-up!

I got scammed by a fake "Honda" dealership listed here on Google Maps in Bogotรก: https://g.co/kgs/t4vpzkz

They look legit with lots of good reviews, but it's all fake. I transferred money for a motorcycle and never received anything โ€” they used real-looking invoices, insurance, and even pretended to be from Avianca Cargo. Total scam.

I lost $7,000 CAD in this scam lol.

Iโ€™ve already filed reports with the police, embassy, and the bank, but we need to get this Google Maps listing taken down ASAP to prevent others from falling for it.

Please help by:

1. Leaving a 1-star review explaining itโ€™s a scam.
2. Clicking the โ€œSuggest an editโ€ > โ€œClose or removeโ€ > โ€œDoesnโ€™t exist hereโ€ to flag the listing.

Thank you so much ๐Ÿ™
On another note, Iโ€™m in Guatapรฉ right now โ€” if anyone wants to hang out, let me know!
lludol 11d
It's better to stay in the north. From Chapinero to Usaquen it's safe and you have nice/fancy bar/restaurants.
lludol 11d
And just take Uber (very cheap) to go to the center (I guess by center you mean Candelaria)
rickalon 11d
wherever the action is really, doesn't have to be center, but the main nightlife
lludol 11d
Yes you will be close, you have a lof of club / bars in the beginning of Chapinero and in different area the more north you go.

But for the accommodation it's better more up north. I was staying next to Theatron club, it's better to take something a bit more in the north, Theatron area is like the border between the hood and the normal area there ๐Ÿ˜…
lludol 11d
Here the best area for the accommodation, it's safe you can even walk around.
rickalon 11d
thank you man i appreciate it, are you there at the moment?
felipezap 11d
Planning a 4 day trip in April to Santa Marta, any recommendations on what to see? What are the best beaches? Restaurants? Where to snorkel? What places to see
lludol 11d
No but I stayed there 3 weeks in January. Now I am going to Barranquilla then Santa Marta and will be back in Bogota for a few days in April from 12 to 17
Anyone going to stereo picnic?
Iโ€™m in bogota for the festival, would be nice to hangout as well :)
Anyone playing Pรกdel in Bogotรก?
Hey has anyone gotten a nomad visa for Colombia and knows what health insurance to get?
lludol 4d
I don't have a nomad visa but I am using SafetyWing (I am now on their remote package) and I used it in the past in Spain for the residency so it should work also for Colombia
How is Bogotรก lately? I stayed in chapinero briefly last year but didnโ€™t like it that much, I heard usaquen is a better option
lludol 3d
Hey, so I did Cartagena and now Santa Marta. Do they have beaches where it's not private (condo / hotel), no music, no bar / restaurant, no guys trying to sell me something, just a normal quiet beach?
Does it even exists in Colombia (Caribbean coast)?

I heard the pacific coast is like that but difficult to access.
Capurgana is like that, its a hidden beach in El Choco. You can take a flight to acandi and then take a boat there. It is nice and very peaceful.
Palomino is a very quiet town near Parque Nacional Natural Tayrona, it was super chill its literally a one street town. i dont think anywhere in south america you're gonna get a chill beach unless you're in a non touristic area! this town was my favourite beach in colombia
lludol 3d
Thanks, for my next visit that
lludol 3d
Alright, next week I will visit Tayrona and sleep on the coast so I will be able to also check Palomino, thanks!

Yes I know for South America, it was the same (worst ๐Ÿ™ˆ) in Brazil (Rio) but for example I went to Bocas in Panama, it was chill and nice. But for Colombia you don't seems to have non touristic area, even the most remote beach has hundreds boats coming and bar/restaurant ๐Ÿ˜‚
yeah going to the beach in brasil is such an activity but i love it ๐Ÿ˜‚
Someone in santa Marta? Looking for friends to hangout with:))
Usaquen is more quiet
For me it depends heavily where you stay in Chapi!
Itโ€™s fairly easy to access from Buenaventura, and definitely much more quiet and raw. I recommend visiting there
