Great video. I want to travel to Colombia, but I want to travel there for cheaper than what Intrepid Travel is charging Especially for what they are offering. I'm pretty well-traveled and have traveled solo many times but would you suggest Colombia for a female tourist by herself? It seems that you were not too pleased with how Intrepid handled the front-end of your trip.
Interesting that you wrote this. I was thinking about doing a video about traveling in and around Medellin, Colombia. I can't speak for all of Colombia. The State Department definitely suggests staying away from the boarder towns. But as far as Medellin goes, my wife and I have lived here in Medellin for about a month now and both she and I have walked around the city by ourselves with no trouble so far. To and from the gym, using taxis and Ubers, using the metro station, going to restaurants, walking downtown, etc. As with any travel, to any where, you have to have common sense and be on your guard. Colombia has a lot of poverty and an influx of immigrants from neighboring countries who are fleeing harsh conditions. Where there is a lot of poverty, there is a higher chance that someone can and will at least rob you. But, so far so good. So, yes, you can do the exact itinerary that Intrepid laid out in my opinion. There are/were plenty of women of all colors walking around the cities we visited, and they all pretty much where revealing clothing. :-) Between using an Uber and a few travel apps such as Guruwalk, Civitatis, and or Trip advisor, you can create an awesome lowest cost trip, as long as you don't mind doing all the coordination yourself.
