You earned my subscription, brother. My girlfriend is Colombian and I've been visiting Medellín since 2021. I mostly stay in Envigado. She lives in Itagui. I'm with you 1000%, bruddah. I will soon retire and be living there permanently.
Your girlfriend?????????? Yeah, I lol at your, your girlfriend jajajajajaja. Let's be honest, what expats, brothers and tourists need to do is stop traveling to Colombia or you can go through a serious bad situation including losing your life. Its too dangerous
I am sitting in my loft and needed help to find the laundry room. Their was an elder woman mopping the walkway, she took the time to assist me and showed me the way. I wanted to tip the woman without being a gringo Brutha, BUT never as you describe Rich😂... I wasn't QUITE sure how much because I am a generous tipper to service industry folks such as me and i appreciate her, for taking the time out of her schedule For helping me. Not only do you have my cousin's name, but I thoroughly enjoy how you explained everything bill to coin and pronunciation. I did my homework before I departed, but obviously I live in the moment, and you definitely give me that same impression, in preparation! By the time I finished watching your video, she was done and I missed her. I wish I could thank you with a Brutha~from~ Another Mother HANDSHAKE post Coronavirus... of Gratitude, for your video Mentoring! WE need more financiero's like you on OUR STREETS of Wall Street!
A lot of travel creators avoid these types of topics because it doesn't have the potential to generate a lot of "views" for them. But I don't care, I just want to share useful information.
Hello Rich, I find this video very informative, great knowledge about the Colombian peso and the exchange rate to the dollar. I'm Colombian living in the US, the last time I was in Colombia was over 12 years ago. If I go back to Colombia any time soon I most definitely use your method of use/exchange the Colombian peso. I hope you are still in Colombia having a great traveling experience there. Chao!!!!!
I love this... thank you. I am going to columbia next month and this was great information as I was looking to figure out the breakdown of my usd to pesos in cali. Now I know... subscribed just for this quick and simple breakdown.
My advice is do not exchange Dollars for Pesos at the airport...Go to a Casa de Cambio located in varias areas. Go online to see exchange rate...You will need your Passport and they will require a Fingerprint. One last thing small locals stores rarely have change and the Yellow taxi will claim not to have change...
Well guess that's another way to do it haven't tried it. But I just always go straight to the ATM and draw from my bank. And I just remember to decline the ATM exchange rate because usually most US-based banks will provide a better exchange rate from my experience. Just pretty straightforward and less hassle for me. Plus my bank reimburses all of my ATM fees and furthermore, they do not charge me any foreign transaction fees. And as far as those taxis, yeah they always trying to run game -- which is why I started strictly using rideshare apps and those problems just went away.
Well I always get my money directly out of the ATM. That usually gives the best exchange rates. Tip: At the ATMs, a message usually pops up to accept or decline conversion. I'd recommend always clicking NO because usually your bank will always give you a better exchange rate from my experience (assuming you have a US-based bank account).
good video, like the brake down.... Is it possible you can do one for paying for something, and best way to calculate so you know you're not giving more than you should?
Glad you for value. Great suggestion, but this video pretty much covers it all. You just may need to review it multiple times for it to really sink in, and then top it off with some real life experience.
You can find good food just about anywhere. Every City in Colombia that I've visited always has good lunch specials, just ask for the Menú del Día (Special of the Day). And I always check reviews in Google Maps and choose restaurants with no less than 4 stars, read some of the recent reviews though still because sometimes overall ratings can still be misleading or even fake. And yeah, they hate it when you slam car doors hard (those darn Gringos!). People from the States, many of us have a habit of doing that. I had to learn to go easy on the doors too, lol. With a little practice and a few eyeballs rolled at you, you'll get the hang of it - Quick!
6 GB you ain't doing nothing that would only work if you not a huge social media user then you may get away with GB of data the most I've had here in the states was 10 GB of data but I've been with my phone service provider for about almost 20 yrs since then they've upgraded my plan to everything unlimited just for being a loyal customer
True, not currently a huge social media user, but you still won't get that type of monthly package deal in the States for that cheap. And for unlimited everything package, you can get that for about $10 USD here.
@@richexperiences1 I get it but is the network 100 there tho do they have high a rate of dropped calls some places network not as good as the states $10 or whatever sounds like a sweet deal but I rather have A1 service than poor quality not saying the service there is poor just speaking in general I'll pay whatever if it's great wireless service
@@dabigitalianwilliams9345 Claro is the largest mobile service provider here and is known to have the strongest signal. Tigo is cool too. I'd test both of those (on a prepaid basis first) and see how you like them. Both have worked well for me.

Glad the video helped. And yep, gotta seize the moment!...especially the way the world has been shifting and turning lately.
Definitely need more videos like this, not many travel creators give a thorough explanation of how currencies work in their areas

@@richexperiences1 you should make an update or is it the same rn
@@hollywoodhomes4373 Same concept but dropped a bit. It's around 4 to 1 now i.e. $1 USD is currently equal to roughly $4,000 COP

@@richexperiences1 the problem with ATM's is the limit they have don't like making so many trips to the ATM
@@hrod1957 Have you tried Davivienda? They usually let you withdraw up to $900,000 COP each time.
Outstanding Video Sergeant! Hooah!
Glad you enjoyed it
Helpful. Thx
Glad it helped
I going to Colombia in December 5-10
Great, enjoy! Which City are you visiting?
Thanks bro
Where would you suggest to exchange money in Cartagena?

If they peg all purchases to USD you have no leverage. And you are not richer
