      @Karl__Pierre  2 года назад +2

      Sometimes it's hard for people to understand that. There are some safety issues in Medellin as well as negative aspects but how do you explain to someone you feel more comfortable and at peace in that place. For me it's the quality of life per dollar. Hired help etc. Then it's the weekend Finca culture. Break away and live with your family and friends for a break from the city.

    This is a great video because we hear mainly men moving or visiting Colombia for prostitution or their prospects of many women. I had a female friend ask me about an expat community in Medellin and all I knew was these guys who move there to get women. The men have a strong expat community but I am not aware of a female expat community.

    • @Karl__Pierre
      @Karl__Pierre  3 года назад +6

      Sensational stories get the attention. The truth is many women Expat here. I don't know the stats but I would imagine men are more likely to Expat than women since men are more risk tolerant.
      I'm here now and yesterday there was a woman Expat at the table next to me that had two friends visiting her from the USA. I made this video to show the otherside, glad it resonated with you.

    I often hear that phrase when discussing danger in Medellin... "it's like anywhere", but It's really not. I lived in Medellin for three years, and men are constantly getting drugged and robbed if they go out at night or meet a Tinder date (not referring to those out late looking for prostitutes who are putting themselves in danger). Anyone who says, "it's like anywhere" probably hasn't been to eastern Asia, where I have lived for two years. It's significantly safer here. There are certain barrios in Medellin where the locals will tell you, "do not go there alone, especially at night". I've never had anyone warn me not to go somewhere in eastern Asia.

    • @Karl__Pierre
      @Karl__Pierre  2 года назад +8

      This is true. I suppose it's like anywhere in the America's would be more appropriate. Then again got robbed in Indonesia once. Right now the drug/date robbery is the scam of choice targeting foreign men. Hopefully it's not something that catches on worldwide

    How many times does people get killed over a cellphone in Japan or South Corea? Japan has a population of over 125 million people and had almost I think something like 180 murders in 2018 while Medellin with a population of over 2 million had more then 500 murders. Please don't say that can happen everywhere., it is a horrible argument. Don't want to sound mean or negative bro. Keep up the great work with your channel!

    • @Karl__Pierre

      It certainly can especially if you're from a large city in the USA. Could get shot in a mall or a day care. I being from Jamaica Queens NY was in an environment where murders happened to the point the daily news had a murder counter on the bottom right of the screen.
      So I guess of comparing to Japan or Korea yes but comparing to NYC or Chicago or Miami it's in line.

      @@Karl__Pierre Sorry for the late reply! Gosh, there's so much I could say. Pros of Barranquilla: almost every day is sunny (at least part of the day), people are super friendly, laid back culture, fantastic food and beaches. Also, it's a great place to live--not too expensive, but great quality of life and good infrastructure. It's not as glamorous as Cartagena, but folks here say, "Cartagena is for visiting, Barranquilla is for living." CONS: The weather is much hotter than Medellin--you can't beat the weather in the center of the country. However, it tends to rain more and be cloudier. Also, public transportation is not as developed as Medellin, but taxis and buses are everywhere and economical. Utilities can be crazy expensive (we pay $600.000 cop for electricity because we always need to use the air conditioning for our baby.) Also, there are not as many museums and touristy things to do. In my opinion, being in Barranquilla feels like I can be a bit more immersed in Colombia without the over-saturation of tourists. Sorry for the long answer, but I hope this helps!

    A bit of advice. I lived in Medellin for exactly 1 year before moving to Ecuador and then Peru. If you plan to live in Medellin, learn how to pronounce the cities name. In Medellin they speak a different dialect of Spanish and the double L is not a Y sound but instead more of a G or J sound so it sounds like Mede gene not Mede Yene; the lady said it correct @ minute mark 12:35 for reference.

I also live now in Colombia and I have stayed three months in Mexico and three months in Brazil aswell and nothing has happend to me but I really don't agree with the narrative at all when it comes how you guys want to downplay the violence in Colombia and Medellin. It is just extremely bias. Please. Medellin has a murder rate of over 20 per 100 000 people. Which city in Europe has a murder rate that high? Very very few cities in the US has cities with murder rates so high. Baltimore is one that has a crazy high murder rate. I have colombian friends and they don't even walk around with their phone on the streets in pretty safe neighborhoods and they are many Colombians that thinks twice, and PLEASE don't compair Medellin or Colombia to France and Italy. Sure violence exist everywhere but hey it is a diference . You can't just think of personal experience. Look at the murder rate and the gdp per capita in Colombia and compair it to Italy or France. If you look at Europe and countries like Japan, South Corea and China and compair it to Latin America then it is a huge difference. I understand you guys love Colombia and Latin America and get upset when people think that Colombia is like Afghanistan but please don't compair it to Europe or even the US. Don't compair 1 murder rate per 100 000 people which is Italy and France with over 24 or 26 I think per 100 000 people which is Colombia

      Hahahaha. The reason is the minimum wage per month is $250/month. Sex workers can earn$10-$100/hour. And I'm sure on chaturbate depending on the following one can clear more than that without having sex with anyone. What you have to keep in mind though is the majority of women are not sex workers. So you can't visit thinking every woman is DTF. The truth is if you're a semi nice guy, speak Fluent Spanish and treat a woman there like you would an American woman she will be quite happy to spend time with you.
