Thanks @ElGriegoTravels ! I loved it too. Looking forward to going again. Appreciate you showing love!

@@ivo_rubio Anytime bro

Thanks! @zuluagaco

Hey! @davedavis5926 . That's very true. The weather was fantastic and I was there from the mid October to mid November. It's nickname the City of Eternal Spring is spot on. Appreciate your comment!

There are key differences, the big one being the primary language spoken, after that, I would say the currency difference, it's significant when you're earning in dollars and can spend in Colombian pesos. Hope this helps!

Sounds perfect!@@ivo_rubio

@@ivo_rubio Sounds great!

Hey @freelancerplus ! Thank you I really appreciate that! Welcome to the FAM. What would you like to see more of or learn more about on the channel?

Wow. Thanks for the update! It's almost a 20% difference. It's 4,129 Colombian pesos to 1 USD at the time of writing this 10/29/23.

Thanks bro! How did you like it?

Hey @jayy_jayy, I’m not in Medellín at the moment. Was thinking of doing another one. What would you like to see or for me to talk about?

Aha ;)

Hey Patricia! Don't get me wrong, I love me some Barcelona and Spain, but yes I would agree that overall people were very friendly and warm during interactions in Medellin. Thank you for watching and commenting! ​Please let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you Steven!

I had to learn some Colombian phrases and words but I do speak Spanish pretty fluently. Definitely recommend knowing some basic phrases and words. That’ll help a lot. But overall a lot of Colombians speak English in the areas where there are a lot of tourists, nomads, and expats.

Thanks really appreciate that! I am bilingual. 😅 Definitely helps to know phrases and basics but a lot of the locals speak english in the areas where there are a lot of tourists, nomads, and expats

@@ivo_rubio just booked my flight. Going in June. Not sure what zone I’m staying in though!

Thanks Keith really appreciate that! That’s awesome, what ar e you studying? I met some university students when I went to the museum of modern art. I speak spanish pretty fluently lmk if you have any questions!

Hey Esteban, the building is named Avani. Lmk if you have any other questions!

You got it. Glad to hear it was helpful Marco. I did, I always use a VPN when traveling, especially when using wifi at a public place. I use NordVPN. I did some research before choosing it and found it to be a top choice. So far it's worked great for me. Here's a link if you want to check it out, ref.nordvpn.com/TLkOYfCGvJX . Hope this helps!

Nice Mariel! I think you'll enjoy it, it's a great city for remote workers. What kind of remote work do you do?

⁠​⁠@@Gmail.comyama Hey James! I started in remote sales for a fully remote company in the online education space. I’m still with the same company but in a CS/Sales role now. I have a bachelor’s degree in Communications and had administrative experience and some sales experience when I joined. I’m sure there are a lot of bad companies out there but there are also a lot of good ones. Remote positions in sales, customer service, digital marketing, media buying, and of course anything coding or tech related can usually be remote too. It just all depends on what you want to do but remote work is becoming more and more common. Lmk if you have any other questions I’m happy to help!

That’s awesome Melissa. I met a few people that traveled there and they enjoyed it. I used the Charles Schwab Travel Debit Card to pull money out in Colombian Pesos from ATMs at malls/shopping centers. Bancolombia, Scotiabank, and BBVA are trustworthy banks with plenty of ATMs. The Charles Schwab card refunds you all ATM transaction fees from their network of ATMs internationally. This is how I do it.

Thanks TME. Nice! How long were you there for?

Thanks Nathan, yeah I can do that. What would you like to know? Maybe I can even make a vid about it.

You got it Clayton. Lmk if you have any questions, happy to help.

@@ivo_rubio I will for sure..100%

Hey J, I got my first and current online job by starting in online sales as an SDR (basically talking on the phone with people and setting appointments for the "closers"). From there I got promoted and currently help onboard customers. I signed up with an online recruiting company called closers.io. I did a few interviews with them, then got a few offers to do an interview with different online companies, and landed a role with one. I had very little experience in sales and joined to get my foot in the door. But there a ton of companies that are fully online and you can start in sales or join as a customer service rep to get your foot in the door. The majority of these companies are smaller so it's easier to get promoted and branch off into a different department. Hope this helps and feel free to lmk if you have any other questions.

Hey Stephanie, sure thing. Here it is. Let me know if you have any questions! abnb.me/vHZ3FVJVhyb

@@ivo_rubio I will, I hope to be in Colombia in a few months. Thanks.

Awesome. Brazil is on the list! Enjoy!

Thanks Gonzo I really appreciate it! That's exciting, I hope you have an amazing time. My favorite places to socialize and make friends were on the tours/excursions that I booked through Viator. Zona Rosa is a great and lively area to socialize too, especially Provenza, which is where you'll find a ton of bars, restaurants, and places to hang out. For excursion companies, I booked through Viator and don't remember the company names but I could send you the links to the actual excursions I booked if you'd like, just message me your email. Lastly, I worked from a few cafes, but my favorite by far was Pergamino Cafe, which has 3 locations, each one with it's own unique location and vibe. Hope this helps!

Hey Reggie. Nice! Hope you have a great time. I speak Spanish fluently but with a slight “American” accent from what I’ve been told lol. How about you?

Honestly, my Spanish is sorta trash but I’m taking lessons. But thanks for the reply

Sweet 👌 Looks like a nice building!

Thank you! 🙌

Thanks @LuckyLefty. Here it is. Hope you enjoy your stay. Lmk if you have any questions about staying in Medellin! abnb.me/vHZ3FVJVhyb

dont bother full booked till 2025, only june 2023 is available

Remote sales. Are you remote too?

@@ivo_rubio Hybrid remote. Similar to what you do.

Appreciate your concern and thoughts Elvis. I didn’t see or experience any crime myself so I cannot state from my experience, but thanks for your recommendation. Safety is always something I keep in mind when traveling.

@@ivo_rubio Are you aware of the insane number of tourists being drugged, robbed and killed in Medellin? You cant ignore an elephant in your bedroom. I was just there and l can tell you that it’s dangerous. The fact that you are lucky does not take away the problem. Have a safe stay.

@@elvisgarciadejesus I talked to another dude on the Facebook travel groups and that dude says he felt safe too in Colombia. I was in Cartagena back in November and I had a blast. However I was aware of the dangers and didn’t ignore anything unlike the person I responded back to on Facebook and this response. You can’t ignore it man. If there are beggars on you like white on rice then that is a trouble sign to me. So keep the word out man and stay up and safe. Me I won’t go back to Colombia anytime soon.

Ignacio as like anywhere you go just be careful, same happens in big cities like New York or London. Stop spreading fear . Lots of people keep coming to Medellin and have a great time.

@@carlosarango6859 Hola Carlos, parece que no has ido a Medellin. El robo ha aumentado en un 200% y la prostitucion de nuestras mujeres en un 500%. Eso es lo que quieres???? Los turistas que llegan no vienen en plan familiar hermano, ya sabes a qué vienen. Incluso hasta el mismo Petro criticó hace unos dias la calidad del turismo que està llegando al pais. Si quieres tapar el sol con un dedo allá tu.

Thanks Ilma! It was also bigger than I thought. I can understand that. I actually have found that I really enjoy big cities because I feel like there’s so much to do and try. I do agree though that it was harder to meet people and socialize. This is what I’ll focus on improving in the future. Have you ever stayed at a Coliving space?

@@ivo_rubio meeting people is so important. I have been a nomad for years and met many others who have severe depression because they lock themselves in their airbnbs as they are too shy to socialise. Its a sad world. Coworking spaces etc are the best way to meet people

Hey Kevin! Aha I hear ya lol. From my experience, $1,000 is definitely realistic in Medellin if you're living like a local. To many locals, $1,000 a month provides a comfortable lifestyle. However, if you're living in the tourist/nomad area of El Poblado, I think $1500 - $2,000 is more reasonable as you're paying premiums due to the high number of tourists/nomads in the area. Also, you can definitely get by without speaking Spanish if you're in the El Poblado. However, knowing some basic phrases and words will go a long way. Hope that helps!

Hey Nick! Awesome, thanks for reaching out. I’m in LA for the time being but would be open to meeting up if we’re ever in the same city. 🙌 If you have any questions about living in Medellin let me know!

I’m from miami Florida . I can’t wait to move there 🙏

Nice! I had a great experience there. How do you like Miami?
