    Hi and thank you for this. When I first started moving around the world, I felt I needed a huge capital to start building bases abroad. However, I discovered a cute little thing called Teaching Abroad. It has given me a chance to actually live and work on the 6 habitable continents of the world, explore each country and culture at my employers expense, get a sense of what it feels like to live in that country, live there legally for 180 days and then decide if I want to be there or not. It’s the reason I now have properties on 3 continents (my trifecta) all without a huge initial capital to start my journey. I’ve started to document my own experiences on my RUclips channel, with hopes that I can inspire people like me to reach the level you’re advising at a much smaller cost.

    Bogota has a lot of problems like many other capitals, but the new mayor will fix them. The city is very cosmopolitan, some areas looks like London, some like Spain, we have great weather, fresh air from the mountains, we call it natural a/c, last years they open a lot of new great restaurants with good local and wordwide food options, coffee shops, bars, hotels etc, also there are many influencers doing fantastic food festivals, the supermarkets are always full of food and fresh fruit also you can visit museums, shopping centers, parks and the sorroundings like, Chia, Cajica, the amazing Zipaquira salt church, el Dorado airport is almost new and they will do an expansion, you can go anywhere from there, in couple of years we finally will have a subway and cercanias trains, the earth is getting warm every year, that is one of the reason why after 21 years living in the expensive Miami im moving back to Bogota. Now i can see why there are so many Americans and Europeans living in Bogota, always welcome!!

    I lived in Bogota for 12 years. I have to add that healthcare is excellent and very affordable. However, I left because of some issues like loud house parties every weekend (yes, even in the fancy neighborhoods like Chico), crime, and the general lack of common courtesy... yes, Colombians are very kind to their friends and family (aka people who know them), but they can be very rude to strangers (pedestrians, neighboors, service staff) in everyday life, which to me it's being two-faced.

    Stay on the North side of Bogota as is generally safer. Chia a nice area 45 mins North with cleaner air. For an incredible value, go 1.5 hrs further North to Zipaquira, Tocancipa, or Gachancipa. 40-50k for a 2-2 but you have to spend more than that for the residence permit. Stay max 6 months of the year without.

    Yeah, in my time on the ground in Dubai, I regularly got glimpses of the local street economy that the Emir would rather that I not acknowledge. So it always helps to know what you are getting into. Bogota, of course, adheres to Western ideals of more openness. I've lived in both places, and they both are lovely places to live, but you have to use different street smarts in Bogota as opposed to the street smarts in Dubai.

      Not that funny actually, not trying to be a bummer but... the thing is most of the people that come here from USA and EU are people that can afford to invest in property from the start or already have a steady income in their home currency which obviously gives them some advantages in terms on having pesos COP to spend. Most of the people we "send" are people that has too little to loose and are willing to do what people from those high income countries do not; or the complete opposite, people who wants to educate so that ultimately they end up being able to thrive either home or abroad. In both cases, I believe most of us latin-american always add and help out growing economies and societies through our hard work and rich culture sharing. Cheers.

      well, you were broke in South America and that's why you went to the US but the rich people of your country stayed there. This guys are already rich so they won't experience even half the violence, corruption, poverty or bad infrastructure you did

      I think about 50 died last year but they're a bunch of passport bros going to exploit poorer women. You'll notice no women were impacted...

      I’ve been watching some of these, RUclips’s on this very subject. It’s extremely alarming no way I would ever choose to visit Columbia let alone retire there 🥴🥴

    Problems: Bad traffic in Bogota and no Metro. A Metro is being built but it is going to be a while. Also, if you travel outside of Bogota, you absolutely have to speak Spanish. He is right about the food. It is of the same quality as New York without the cost.
