how much money for a G of coca ? bogota ? pure

Find it helpful actually. “To each their own” I guess

Yes, such a distraction 😮

He is very helpful ... buddy, let him does whatever he wants .. he is helping others

I found the area in the centre to be more expensive compared to a little walk from there…

I’ve only been in the city so I’m not sure what living in a more rural area would be like…

Transportation - maybe you are happy just going into town once a week?

Yes

Was just there. It's very sketchy

@@AnamCaraDeMexico depends where... there's certainly places/areas you might not want to be especially late night :) my 2 month experience there was great

Most times I use air b n b first and sometimes facebook groups also work well.

I prefer Air b n b the first time because you will never have any problems with getting support if you have issues with anything

What I suggest is contacting the host before you book and ask them any questions you have. From there you can proceed to book the place if you like it for short or long term. In case you want to get a better deal you can always book for a few days and get the hosts Whatsapp # where you can then offer to pay them in cash. Most times this works and you can negotiate a better deal especially for long term stays. Just keep in mind to not do this through Air b n b's communication system as they may block your account since they want payments to be processed through their platform so they can get their share.

I usually use Air B n B the first time and then I negotiate a better rate with the host and pay them in cash if they agree.

@@traveltimeisnow agree, we stayed in Santa Marta, more towards the center of Santa Marta like you mentioned, the airport area is much farther away from convenient locations, you cannot walk to a grocery store that's more economical, Olimpica, and like you mentioned, in the airport area, the high rise we stayed at had a mall walking distance from the apt we rented and the only grocery store it had was Carulla. Also the restaurants were high end as well, that's why we moved towards the Gaira area, also know as the "Reserva de la Sierra" area. We walked a lot from the apt that we rented to the Olimpica grocery store and to restaurants. There was also more businesses walking distance, i.e., nail salon, drug store, etc. Just a word of caution, if you are staying in a building, there's a lot of breeze the higher you stay in a building so if your balcony door is open and you happen to open the front door be careful to not allow the wind to forcecibly slam the door shut, it happened to us and was embarrassing due to it disturbing the neighbors. Another thing, if you would like to keep your apartment cool I suggest to keep the shades closed during the day and no windows open and keep the air conditioning running, we only had a/c units in both bedrooms but not anywhere else in the apartment. It the higher the floor, the hotter it gets. Also buy bottled water at the grocery store and put it in the freezer, when you leave to go out take a frozen bottle along, it helps to cool you down.

Thank you Eric :)

I just stayed in Bogota again very recently and my rent was $270 cad + my food cost was $250 cad and transportation was around $20 cad for the entire month. My stay there was even lower than before.

They are no longer restricted.

I didn't clearly say the time of those restrictions in the video. The restrictions were in 2020. I'm in Colombia right now and everything is open :)

If you plan to go to Colombia right now just make sure to check the current entry requirements regarding vaccination. If you are not vaccinated then you may have to present a negative test.

Btw in regards to the “15 years old Venezuelan kid” it was probably a scam, Venezuelans will usually put their kids to beg for food so they can sell it later for cheaper prices so people will buy it, i guess they make a lot of money out of it. I hope it was not for that since I see that you had good intentions.

@@breiderc That's interesting... I just assumed he wanted it for food to eat so hopefully that was the case :)

I'm glad you like it :)

@@traveltimeisnow not all Venezuelan immigrants are bad. So I hope that wasn’t the case too :)

@@breiderc Yes, I've actually had someone from Venezuela help me get cash multiple times in Colombia when I wasn't able to access any with my card :).
