I love your travel backpack. Where did you get it?
Going to local market or stalls and buy fruits. Just showing you guys are always ready to explore.
I am very sorry about what happened to you, when they spit in your face, that is not common in Colombia, I guarantee that it was not a Colombian, you must bear in mind that almost three million Venezuelans have arrived in Colombia, and very few of them unfortunately they have come to damage our city, our hospitality and our desire to overcome our own difficulties
I'm really sorry about the spit. I'm Colombian and It's the first time I hear or see that something like that happens. I hope you had enough the trip, and that you have the opportunity to go to another cities as well, there is so much to see in Colombia.
Dont worry we didnt let it ruin our trip :) We still loved it
We love love Bogota! It's such a great affordable city! Totally underrated!
We love it as well!
We are going for the first time in May! My husband is from Manizales but he has only been to Bogota once so we are spending a week there. My mom is coming along and we have never left the U.S.! I have no idea what to expect but all my Colombian in laws are saying we should only do a day or , but It looks beautiful to me!
I'm glad that jerk didn't ruin your mood
Nope :)
Sick people!!!
Nothing that happens frequently in Colombia. Those freaks are everywhere
8:30 I'm from Bogota and sadly it's a method thieves use to steal, after that (spit) someone approches you saying "I saw what that man did to you, I'm so sorry about it" and out of the blue you don't have your cellphone or credit card etc. The best thing to do is keep walking and don't talk to anyone...
Ahhh yea i figured that
Someone spits in your face and your supposed to keep walking 😂
@@kay__519 buddy if you do not know where you are, it's better to let it go, believe me, just let it go.
@In it For the Memes Someone spit your face, other person distracts you talking about how he saw who did it and in the same time, another person is cleaning your pockets. The victim don't notice it because he is angry and talking about what just happened.
the young man is somewhat naive:
i have some military training and work with the public most days... here is my advice for anyone traveling in a city, or region, where there may be "anti-foreign" sentiment directed towards you:
use a phone cam (covertly) to take a photo of any assailant (or potential assailant) who may commit an offense
report any kind of attack to the local police (the assailant may be known to them)
don't travel around alone... (make friends with locals and listen carefully to what they say)
carry anti-bacterial wash and wipes with you in your kit bag (we did just go thru a major pandemic)
i also recommend carrying a small "first aid" kit in your kit bag
you'll also find things go smoother if you have, at the very least, a rudimentary grasp of Spanish...
don't carry physical local currency around with you (if possible)
secure your bank cards, wallet and phone in an internal jacket pocket (that can be zipped shut)
finally, take time to review reliable news sources about the country you are in... from what I can tell, Columbia has an ongoing struggle with armed guerrilla fighters (main group is the FARC: Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia). here is Columbia's president talking about this struggle in 2016 (he received nobel peace prize for
his continued commitment to support colombian victims of this struggle, that some sources indicate is more or less a "civil war")

Great video guys! Ill be there this week also! Viva Colombia!
Great video guys! Thanks for sharing. I’m looking forward to going there before the end of the year.
Hope you have a great trip!
Love that you guys included the difficulties and rawness that real travel sometimes presents…and the info given. Just discovered your channel and definitely subscribed and delving into more of the adventures! Thank you for the really excellent job!
I always find South American cities are romantic. People are sociable and super friendly, but common sense of safety travel still a-must-do-and-stick-with.
A great video series about Colombia, you are very close to actual lives and happenings in Colombia. Very appreciative work, guys.
Thank you so much!
The editing on this video is out of this world! 💙
It never gets old seeing your two facial expression when eating something new.
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy 😂
Great video! i want to see more of colombia.Thank you for being patient with a rude individual, don't let one guys bad day ruin yalls. I cant wait for the next video.
Thank you so much!
So glad to see you guys enjoying yourselves! Glad i could come along via youtube.
Favorite part is the fruit market!
Ahh the market was so cool!
I have probably already commented saying this but don’t know why you don’t have more followers!!! Just love the quality and cinematics of your vlogs! Can’t wait to go to Colombia one day 😍 everyone’s always out and about having a great time!
Paint It the My brother was killed in Colombia ( don’t be fool). The most corrupt
Government among South America. I would not recommend to travel there.
@@nickbrooks7171 Sorry for your loss but do not antagonize the whole place for one incident, a lot of immigrants die in a daily basis in the sates and still people said it's the greatest place in the world. Again really sorry for your loss.
Finally someone thought to shoot 60 fps on a travel vlogging video. Keep doing it I like it
Wow so much fun👍🏼 I’m planning to go to Bogotá 👍🏼
the way you guys react to food ..makes me feel proud as a Colombia
I love the way you edit, Tah! This video is so well made :)
STEVVVEEEEEEE

I want to visit Colombia so baddd!!

Mi Amigo para las que sea! Nice to see this video! Greetings from Bogota!
Is it weird that I got really nervous when you shot that video of la Candelaria at night, I would no dear to be around there that late. Maybe things have changed since now. Beautiful video of Bogota
Thank you so much!
Great Video! I have a question.. do you know the regulations for drone fly in Bogota?
Great video as always. You guys going to other countries in South America on this trip?
yes, 4 more countries !:)
When Tah is wearing that hat and looking off into the distance it reminds of something out of Casablanca. It's really cool. Jimmy you're my boy don't worry lol I'll buy ya a beer anytime you get to Stl. Seriously sometimes channels like this make someone's day. I got home made a drink getting ready to crash and watched this and ended on a happy note. Good on ya.
Ahh cant get mad at the small stuff
Another awesome vlog. Love everything except disrespecting spit and pidgin! I'm sure it is everywhere. Looks like you still had fun!!
Me gusta verlos cuando comen, se ve que les gusta nuestra comida, es muy rica
Your videos are awesome, new sub
Thank you so much!
I Love it ❤️😍🥰
12:51 he thought he was in Mexico 😂
Love your videos guys
Awesome video! Been following you guys for a while and am so happy you’re in Colombia! I’m heading there soon.
Do you remember the name of bar where you played Tejo?
Ahh its the Tejo field in La candelaria
Vanessa White My brother was killed in Colombia ( don’t be fool). The most corrupt
Government among South America. I would not recommend to travel there.//
Divert Living thanks!! :)
Nick brooks I’m sorry to hear that :(
@@nickbrooks7171 Dont say that, in all countries kill people.
Guys, thanks for this amazing video. Sorry about that jerk trying to ruin your day. Hope you can enjoy more of Colombia. You will always be more than welcome.
Thank you so much!
Its ok, the world has many people like that everywhere
Wasakaka is sooooo good!!! It's my favorite
12:50 "...here in Mexico"? Bogota is an awesome city with so much to do and see. Thanks!
It really has so much to see! 14 days wasn't enough time! especially if we want to hit all the day trips as well. Sorry if i miss spoke about Mexico!
As a “ rolo” I love it when she says “ BogotÁÁÀ” jajajajaja, great videos showing even the bad things of the city.
Santiago Ramírez Vásquez yo también soy de bogota y también me da risa como dice bogota
That's great
I saw Steve Yalo!!!!!!! YAYYYYY
Your positivity is amazing. You didn’t let that disgusting human ruin your day with the spit. I know for sure, it would have ruined mine. ...... love your vlogs, you both are great.
Ahhh cant let it ruin your day :)
Congrats Divert Living!!!! I really liked your video. Bogotá is interesting. I will help you not to miss anything important in one of the most surprising and interesting cities in South America.
Located at more than 2600 meters of altitude, the capital and largest city of Colombia is a mixture of modernity and tradition in which you will feel at home thanks to its incredible people who give off good vibes.
There are many things to do in Bogotá, such as visiting its incredible museums, such as the Gold Museum or the Botero Museum, trying its delicious cuisine, getting carried away by rhythm and good music, enjoying its street art.
It is advisable to use common sense in security matters and as the locals would say «do not give papaya», which consists in not facilitating the work of thieves showing objects of value or being careless.
The three traditional dishes that cannot be missed are:
Onces Santafereñas: a mid-afternoon snack composed of hot milk chocolate, cheese and some accompaniment such as almojábanas, arepas or yucas bread.
Ajiaco: the traditional Bogota soup that is prepared with chicken, different types of potatoes, cob and herbs. It is also accompanied by white rice and avocado.
Oblea: a traditional dessert consisting of two biscuit discs together and filled with arequipe, blackberry candy, cheese, milk cream or any other sweet dressing. It is very popular among tourists.
For me I always visit bogota (suba) to see my grandma but there's 1 thing we have to go to the poor part and it's scary cause we saw a person staring at us at night and he was just standing there and we knocked on the door like crazy then he approached us and I saw sumthin but then we got let in
next time u must consider visit, Cali, Medellin, eje cafetero, etc. amazing job anyway!
The use of B roll continues to get better..
Thank you so much!
That’s for the information
*Mi amigo para las que sea* , that can be more or less is Spanish for *You are my friend, no matter what situation*
Nice Video
Thank you so much!
We never got your appartment tour😧
I like your videos.
I have a small recommendation, and it is completely my opinion; try to cheer up, man, open up, and talk to the camera. You are across the globe with what-seems-to-be a very sweet companion. Others would be very happy just for the accompany, let along the journeys around the globe.
I'm a fan to this channel and a subscriber since long time.
All the best to both of you.
Great stuff team. Just be careful and remember Colombians are awesome. But some areas might be tuff.
So true!
Bogota fruits seems one of the cheapest & greatest in the world
😍
How much was the taxi ride? Check 2:51 I see a 50,000 pesos bill.
Watching you guys try tequeños for the first time. It's a magical experience. Colombian/Venezuelan food is some of the best in the world in my opinion.
We loved it!
Colombian and Venezuelan food are very different. Colombian food itself is very varied from region to region.
Colombia 🇨🇴
🇨🇴🧡🧡
So far Colombia seems super chill and inexpensive.
It's a shame that flight ticket so damn expensive from India.😑
Tah, do people there know where you are from? With that style, I would easily mistake you as being from Ecuador or Peru.
You are so RIGHTTTTTTTTT hahaha, some think I'm from Peru, and some think I'm Japanese 😅
😎👍
Chào 🧡🙌
Tip if you are traveling to Bogota: Don't wear shorts, bermudas, hats, big backpacks or even worse sandals, that just screams look I'm a tourist which can bring some negative attention. We locals don't ever dress like that (only wear shorts if we are going to the gym or something), Bogota's really chilly, gloomy and rainy so we cover up a lot. Sometimes it does get SUNNY, but it's not summer weather type of hot. Wear something you would wear around the beginning of fall :D
Now if you are visiting the coast like Cartagena or warmer cities like Medellin, then of course do so. Remember not all of the cities in the equator are warm, this is a huge misconception. The weather is different in each region and can vary drastically even an hour drive away, it depends on the altitude the place you are visiting is at. So make sure you check those out first.
Thank you so much!
@@DivertLiving Glad you guys enjoyed your time here! Next time you visit Colombia I highly recommend Cartagena it's so pretty :D you guys are gonna love it
Welcome ei Colombia
Gracias !:)
Parcero🇨🇴
No Uber. Thanks for the update
i swear, you two are so crazy you could enjoy yourselves on a desert island and find good street food. i'm amazed how well you two always seem to be able to fit in with the locals and enjoy the people. You do have better anger control than i do about that one idiot that spit on you. Bogota is so different from places you've been and i'm, amazed at how you find the best things in any new city. Best part is always watching Ta eat something new. you should be able to patent that look.
Ahh yea we always try to find the best in each place we go. No need to let one guy ruin it all
At 12:50 did you say Mexico?
I'm pretty sure that llama was an alpaca....llama's are bigger, and meaner.
Ahh maybe! hahaha Sorry!
4:03, looks like the guy is shooing you away!
Haha I loved how you asked for spicy sauce, you were actually saying “itchy”.
So for next time, spicy is picante (pee can the), so you could say: salsa picante por favor (hot sauce please).
Enjoy your South American trip, I hope you won’t get scammed again. People are usually nice there, but when they’re assholes, man do they excel at it!
Fuck I wouldve so pissed if someone did that to me. I can't understand how you kept your composure and kept filming and staying positive.
Ahhh we had to keep working
Tequeño y guasacaca from Venezuela
seems u love empanadas! xD
I really do!
"Four seasons in four days" 😂 podemos tener todos en un solo día!
11.20 a gentleman should always carry a handkerchief.
Yea didnt think i would need it
Gotta download DiDi
bienvenidos y lamento el escupitajo quien lo haya hecho un maleducado
Jajajaja, fué una paloma: la mostraron !!
I think the spit thing is a pick pocket tactic
MAybe it was not sure but they didnt get anything from me
No. we just still have some stupid people in Colombia. Sorry about that
Seems as if you guys kinda had a rough start here and there. Saddening that you had to experience such stupidity and disgustingness. Good how you reacted and excited for more of your positive adventures from this beautiful place!
Ahh always have to stay positive!
G R E A T J OB☺☺☺
Thank you so much!
What are the guys in the streets with the typewriters doing??
Its some type of performance i think :)
@@DivertLiving There was a time when they offered the service to help people to write letters or important stuff to get some burocratic paperwork done like 50 years ago, but they kept the tradition when the computers and printers arrived. Currently the typewriter service is no longer demanded, however it is still their way to try to get some money along all these years.
Im happy you enjoyed it. I hope the few bad people there were didnt ruin it. Sorry about that.
No we had a great time!
my favorite part was 4:02 and 8:30 hahahaha
Oh por dios!!!!! Las mujeres mas bellas del mundo sin duda son las Colombianas, pero que hermosas mujeres!! En Mexico nos derriten tan solo con escucharlas en las novelas!!! En Mexico amamos Colombia pero mas a sus mujeres!! Deberian ser patrimonio a la humanidad!!!
Epa 💃
jajaja is GUASACACA from Venezuela, the Tequeño is from Venezuela, that is my favorite part in Bogotá, you must go to Santander, Cañón del Chicamocha
We will make sure to visit there!
Do you know there's dengue fever in Colombia right now?
Nope! Didnt know that
Not in Bogota though, can't get that here
Ummmm that is always a risk in tropical Countries. You won’t get it in Bogota. Too high up in the mountains and cold for the mosquito
I m from canada, i wana go there and i wana marry a colambian lady :)
Es una pena que ya no estén juntos.. qué linda pareja era ☹️
those fruits dont cost that expensive. maybe almost 2 dollars
I noticed that too😂
Super cool video.......... do no one understands English there?
Some do!
Como yo llegue aqui ?
are they able to tell us how much things are in American money?
Tell her it's not "BO-GO-T-UH," it's BOG-A-TA.
Ok I tell myself that, thank you 😊
I know...somewhat funny when she says Bogoooota.
why does she say BO-GO-TuHHH ?????
It is her accent and I love the way she says it...lol
I’m so sorry. I subscribed.
Aww its ok! Thank you for joining us!
I''d love to go, but can't speak Spanish and i heard they don't speak a lot of English there.
Either do we but thats ok!
The best you can do is making a new friend that speak English. Try Couch Surfing app. It's very useful for getting Shelter for few days and meet up locals. Or if u visit Bucaramanga, Colombia. Do not doubt, you could reach me out, to show the city.
@@davidjose89 Are you from Colombia?
@@johntziannis1134 Yes, I am! I live in Bucaramanga, you're welcome at anytime. 🙂
@@davidjose89 Thanks buddy!
I would love to come. A holiday is way overdue. Unfortunately i am not fluent in Spanish. I know very little.
