    I stay outside medellin , i like pueblitos rural life. I don't want to move to another country and run into a bunch of expats or remote workers no offense but they always think they are super interesting and end up ruining the place.

    Can you please stop telling people about Envigado prices are going up and it's getting tough on the locals.

  • @tmack2506

    Passport Bros are not sex tourists. The official group will even block you for promoting it. I wish that you would not keep promoting that stereotype.

  • @Eric1478

    I didn’t like the passport bro or trash boy comment that you said. The main reason all foreign men are in Colombia is the women and better life. So let’s not pretend we are almighty than others.

    I'm always learning new vocab from these videos. Today it's "trashpats." 😅

  • @romegq

    Video is very informative. I was always cautious about Envigado because its isolated. El Poblado has so much more to offer (youtubers dont always have to refer to "parque lleras" and blame it foreigners)...theres soooo much more to that area than the mini skirts...I noticed a number of families out there and actually was shocked that there are so many upscale restaurants there that rival many in the states (BarBarO is AMAZING trust me)!

    I spent my last two months in Belen just below Avenida 33 which is the line between Laureles and Belen and really liked it there. It has more of a local neighborhood feel but was only a few minute walk to the mall or about 10 minutes or so to the Carrera 70 area for dinning and a few nightlife options. That's where I will be heading when I return. It's a great location for people who want a convenient lifestyle and don't need the high energy nightlife.

    First place I stayed which nobody ever talks about going to with the real Colombian vibe is Buenos Aires. Thats the true gem of Medellin, super local but very friendly vibe. Old people walking everywhere with a mixture of kids and adults of all ages. Very close to el centro, close to Poblado and Laureles. Tons of places to do physical activity to stay in shape besides the hills.I remember arriving at my air B&B around midnight. The street I stayed on was blasting salsa music and when I looked up to see who was playing and dancing to salsa at midnight... older people like grandmas. I knew this was the real Colombia. Some say its not the safest place according to the uber drivers that were sometimes afraid to pick me up or drop me off, I felt safe always.

    Another great video, sounds like Belen or Envigado is for me. I was in Laureles for a month in January and while I did like it. I noticed the polution when I was walking around. I was near parque Laureles and the traffic is a nightmare. But I felt safe as a solo female travler. I apprecite your videos very much.

  • @neomotlhala2772

    Thank you for being civilised about another place. Loved and enjoyed this one ❤.

    Solid job on this - especially as to identifying the specific pros and cons of each area. As an Estadio resident going on three years now, I agree that the cons of traffic, noise and pollution in Laureles/Estadio are no joke - and this applies everywhere, not just to places near a major throughway. The generally flat terrain especially lends itself to being deluged by amplified street vendors throughout the day. I'm a big fan of Manila as well (especially the Foxey Pub!), and would consider moving there if rents were lower. Though here as elsewhere where there's a concentration of gringos, it's starting to attract beggars and other unsavory types who see us as easy marks.

    My partner and I are hoping to move to Medellín in a year. I have lived and worked in France and the US, and I love the process of finding my identity in a new language and culture. I’ve heard only wonderful things about Envigado and Belen. Thanks for the vidéo and I look forward to seeing if my experience in The City of Eternal Spring matches your descriptions here!
