🤵 WHO AM I?
Mucho gusto, me llamo Sam Miller. In 2008, I rode a motorcycle from Canada to Argentina searching for a rewarding and purposeful lifestyle. When I came across Colombia I saw incredible opportunity for life. The country was misunderstood and I set about understanding it and sharing its story with the world. I joined a group of real estate entrepreneurs who were also seeking an international lifestyle and we grew from a startup brokerage into an international real estate management firm.
As an on the ground partner for hundreds of investors, I explore exotic unknowns and curate opportunities to share in my newsletter (newsletter.sammiller.life/) that are what I like to call lifestyle investments. These are hybrid investments that generate cashflow and upgrade your international lifestyle. I am now based between Medellín and Bogotá, Colombia and the story is just getting started.
Sam's video production quality is A1, nobody else comes close.
The historic centre of Santa Marta is where most tourists go when they visit because it's safe, full of character and home to many different boutique hotels and hostels. Not only that, Santa Marta is a must if you are looking to visit Tayrona National Park, Minca or Palomino.
Excellent video. I’ve been considering Santa Marta. This was very helpful, thanks
For those looking for a Santa Marta ATM which works with a Visa card, I tried several machines and only found two which worked. We were staying in the marina area and the ATM below the gym in the marina area was the best option. The
Regarding workouts we used the marina gym twice (awesome view!) and another morning I did 10x80m Sprint intervals in the sand near the sidewalk close to the marina.
"This guy is a real gentlenan".God bless you.
Buen video de santa marta, para una buenas vacaciones, o tambien para vivir y pasarla rico con amigos y familiares..buenas playas, sol , arena , mar, buceo, buena comida, buenos hoteles muy bueno la verdad y recomendado
jimi diaz. Ya pero uno necesita una buena burrita para pasarlo mucho mejor.lol
@@AlbertoHernandez-qy4ze si claro tienes razón una buena burrita o burrota para pasarla bien bacano
Thank you
I enjoyed your pods on your previous station glad to have found you again
I moved to Medellín in January 2020 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
One of these days I'm going to have to stop living vicariously through your videos & make the jump through the screen.
😎 Whats getting in the way?
Sam all the things you said about Santa Marta are what I've experienced while visiting. It is very relaxed and the mountains run to the ocean. It would be my choice for the pace of life I want.
I've been hardcore on Cartagena for retirement but after staying a few times I'm realizing just what the tourism industry impact has had there. Santa Marta deserves a serious look so thanks for this video. The one thing about Santa Marta if you are planning on staying there long term is that I hear the Hospital infrastructure there is not really that great. So Healthcare deserves a closer look. But great video man. Really appreciate it.
I love Santa Marta. I have volunteered as medical mission worker in the city hospital. I support UNIMA. I would live in Rodadero in a heartbeat. RS Brookfield Ct USA
Thank you so much for this Sam - so insightful and helpful. Can’t wait to visit Santa Marta!
Great information on Santa Marta, Sam! It sounds like the exact environment I'm looking for, meaning surrounded by mountain and beach vibes. I'd like to stay in place awhile longer, maybe 4-6 months.
I love Santa Marta. I was there in 2019 in a beautiful apartment on the beach. We had a trip planned in March of last year but had to back out at the last second due to Covid. I previously had vactationed in Cartagena and spent time in Armenia in 2012. I will return to Santa Marta and hopefully soon depending on the pandemic. Not a day goes by that I do not think about returning and returning permanently
Santa Marta is definitely a place on my list to visit, and perhaps spend longer periods of time once I hit my financial independence goal!
Killer, Sam. Great to learn more about Santa Marta! Awesome video on all levels. Looking forward to the Medellin *LIH* video as well.
Amazing video Sam, great to see you're back with the high production value (even though it's alot more work).
Can't wait for the Medellin video!
Thank you, l found your information very helpful to use for my next vacation.
Sounds like it could be a good retirement destination. Dios te bendiga 🙏
Retirement is certainly a possibility, probably not downtown/centro though
I love this so much Sam! I live in Santa Marta part-time and I love it here. Especially Flamingo Co-working. The food there is really great. I also l am opening my yoga business there.
this co-living idea is so cool
Great Job Sam!!! Looking forward for your next adventure
Qué videazo, full edición 👍🔥⚡😉🤯
Great video. Thanks for posting.
Having to pay usd 550 in a private room in an hostel as a point of reference is ridiculous
What about renting an apartment for usd 300?
Very interesting thanks for sharing this video on Santa Marta.
I can't wait to see when you move to Medellin and provide a cost of living comparison between the 2. Awesome video!
This was a very good and informative video. Especially for that price.
Time is an illusion
I was just in Santa Marta for last 5 weeks. Great Vid
You get it then 😉
Thanks Sam!
I was suppose to be there Jan 16th but the lockdowns stopped my plans. Still planning on the move as a winter destination for my wife and I. This was a good video.
Good to hear mate 👍
@@SamMillerLife Followed you for a long time. I was stranded in Medellin for March and April of last year. I have a friend who owns an airbnb in Santa Marta and a farm in Minca, and have an open invite, so I was going to go there on my own and check it out before bringing my wife. Now unfortunately it has been delayed but still the plan
Muy buena información!! Besos
Thanks so much I’m gonna go
Happy to see you back. Maybe I come see you in May since I will be in Panama City. Robert of Montreal
Definitely researching to move there.
Nice info for Remote Working from Colombia.
Again beautiful video I learned so much from your videos hope we meet one day I like to come to Colombia very soon waiting for airport to open in UK. Thanks Peace. JK
Very informative. The one cost that surprised me was for motorbike rental. Wow. Seems crazy high, especially for a monthly rental.
Hey mate, leaving my real estate career soon. I'm moving from new Zealand to Santa Marta to settle there. Ready to live life as you described. Can't wait 🤟
Wow, enjoy the adventure mate!
The department of Magdalena, whose capital is Santa Marta, is a privileged land due to its climate (tropical dry forest) for investments in irrigated fruit crops for export such as mango, papaya, passion fruit, grapefruit, tahiti lemon, watermelon and melon.
Pax Tecum. COLOMBIA HAS IT ALL BRO.
they major challenges investors face may range from controlling impulsiveness to the frail of compulsion, most newbies and would be investors often undermine and most often neglect the important of technical analysis with regards to trading .Technical analysis overly predict the movement of asset prices regardless of what is happening in the wider or broader market. Essentially, the process that works well in other to accumulate and grow a very strong portfolio ahead. However,i will advice investors and newbies to take full advantage of the market and to trade with Dr. Roland Lerch involves studying the paths of a particular asset movement in the past do as to establish a sustainable pattern that can be used to predict future movement. permit me to say that ,it's best advice youfind a workingstrategy/daily signals which has been so profitable and accurate. in less than 5 weeks trading with Dr Roland's daily signals i was able to grow a total of 6.9 BTC with my initial investment of1.5 BTC, this you would say is a very good profit. Dr Roland is a true resources in space today and can be reach via his official whts app page ( +1 6 1 5 6 3 7 9 7 1 9 📞) : for inquiries into profitable trading system
Not privileged. It's called being blessed.
Minca it's very nice. I liked it. And I took the small caravan white nissan and it was very nice and it cost only 10,000 go from Mercado Santa Marta El Centro to Minca city. And 8000 to come back to Santa Marta Mercado. And taxi of the hotel wanted to charge me 150,000 pesos round trip!!!!!! crazy!
I'm here now. Been here two weeks. For me it's just too small. I couldn't live here. Good video
Great video!! Did you find the internet was high speed at your co-working spots? To upload youtube videos for example :)
Im going to santa marta in October this is great same working from home till i can make my own buisness
Just wanted to say great video👍🏻 and also ask you about the the gyms there; I noticed that you weren't wearing a mask while working out and would like to know if things are more relax there.
Kinda, it's another unwritten rule. Very few are super strict, you do need to have/carry one to get around and make sure you can get into places
@@SamMillerLife Thanks for the prompt response, I truly appreciate it. Great channel.
Could you speak to safety?
Nice video. But it gets very hot between 11am and 4 pm that one cannot do anything outside. Wondering how do you and others cope with this?
The mid-day temps would be my main concern too. Even in Medellin ( which is a lot cooler) I tend to avoid the mid-day sun.
Yeah I hid out in my room working on the laptop with the AC on, it's radioactive to try to get too much outside done midday
👍🏻
Hello there sir. I was talking to a new friend 2 days ago who happens to be from Denmark and I was trying to remember your name but my memory failed as I was telling I like your presentations of sites in Colombia. But I could not remember and then all of a sudden today a video pops up from you after a prolonged absence 🤗. I am in Pereira at the moment but would be interested in visiting Santa Marta and specifically that apartment bldg you are in for a few months if not longer. Please tell me how much money is required to move in? Also are there 2 bedroom apartments available there as well? Thank you
I really love this type of video. How's the health care for someone with cardiovascular issues?
👍🏻👍🏻’s up! Reminds me of the Real World MTV House. Great concept but I prefer to live with the locals.
There´s actually quite a few locals from Bogotá who live there!
🙏🏼🇨🇴💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Excelente vídeo. Cuáles son los otros dos lugares mejores para personas independientes en Colombia para tí? Gracias
Modo hustle y connectar; Medellin. Modo tranqui y retirarse: eje cafetero
@@SamMillerLife muchas gracias Sam, soy admirador de tu trabajo, excelente y siempre de alta calidad. En esta nueva etapa nos puedes asesorar sobre esos lugares de hospedaje para tránsitos cortos y largos en las diferentes ciudades que conoces como Santa Marta?
Thanks dearest Sam. Do you prefer Santa Marta or Medellin ?
Hustle/network mode: Medellín
Create/enjoy mode: Santa Marta
Do you have a video similar to this meant for someone looking to retire in Colombia? I was born in Medellin; however, I have never lived in Colombia. I was adopted and raised in the U.S. I currently own a home in Florida. I am considering moving to Colombia in my retirement years.
Coming soon. What would you like to know in particular?
I’m also living in Florida looking to retire in Colombia as the weather is about the same but I’m also concerned about the medical treatment and hospital capacity in Santa Marta also looking at Cali as I am a salsa lover
Great video!
very surprised you failed to mention anything about the serious lack of clean water and basic infrastructure in Santa Marta. Most people do not consider the running water there to even be safe enough for cooking. Also, Santa Marta has not even obe decent hospital if you happen to ever need one.
Ok Sam, I think we are on the same page. I was in Santa Marta a couple weeks ago and I actually saw you in Parque de los Novios lol Im back home now, thinking how the hell I am going to do to come back/move to Santa Marta.
btw there is an error in the video, it says "prices in USD and COP as of February 2020"
Oops old habits die hard 😉
Yeah, the writing is on the wall this place is going places!
I have been to Colombia and I am considering moving to Santa Marta. Is it easy to walk around town or is it hilly?
It's easy, maybe avoid the midday intense sun
A remote working lifestyle is super appealing for me. I'm an avid traveller and am never really happy when I'm not in a foreign location. However, I'm not sure I have the skills required to become one. I do however think that investing my time and money into a business that helps facilitate remote workers, would suite me more. Do you have any tips or resources you could recommend to me for finding opportunities like that. Cheers mate. Keep up the good work.
Check out lambros society on Twitter
@@SamMillerLife thanks for the reply. Do they have another portal? I've been resisting, Twitter, for ever.
Do u have a direct contact for that place to live
Great video. You need to brush up on your audio editing skills though jajaja
Greetings Sam
I was hoping for some feedback 🤷🏾♂️ as I am interested in the location where you are. Or should I simply search for it as an AirBNB? Thanks in advance

Check their insta for whatsapp
Thanks
@@SamMillerLife thank you. But I am a bit confused as I thought you are renting an apartment yet the Instagram specifies a Hostel? I would not mind a hostel for a day or 2 but short term i am interested in an apartment and long term a two bedroom apartment. I have been in Colombia for a year and have my residencia. Pereira at this moment but been moving around as much as possible given the current situation pandemic wise.
The location I filmed the video is a Co-Living. They transitioned from a hostel for the pandemic which means everyone has their own rooms and there are some share spaces I mentioned. If you want complete apartment independence then yes airbnb you'll find plenty of options.
any favorite places to cliff jump?
Didn't find one there yet. Minca has some waterfall jumps for sure
Heading there on the 21st for a month... perhaps we’ll bump into each other. 😛
Hey brother what is the name of the hotel you stayed in when you was in Santa Marta I’m looking forward to stay there
Belafonte
It's more of a coliving than a hotel though
@@SamMillerLife thank you for the replied
@@SamMillerLife can I stay there for a whole week or it needs to be month to month thing?
Best to check with them. They may have weeks available
Is santa marta more beautiful to live in than medellin ??
Those rental prices are completely off lol, for the kind of airbnb you showed you'll pay like 2k, for 800-1k you'll get a dated, shoddy apt with no view
#ungranitoporari #ariadnaluchacontracancer #ARIESVIDA #vamosalucharcontraelcancer
You look like Edmund Hillary when he conquered Everest in 1953
This dude pays gringo prices lol
$500 for a room in a house. Nah, I'll pass!
Private rooms and bathrooms in a building
@@SamMillerLife is expensive honestly
@@tica1500 there is now a location independent people who will pay this price for convenience...
@@SamMillerLife thanks for answer . 😊 i am evaluating to move to santa marta or medellin .. i am in bogota. I love near to the sea. But i have some doubs for water and internet in santa marta also for hospitals and veterinarians. Maybe i prefer medellin. Do you have an video of medellin? Will be great your opinion
@@tica1500 a couple old ones. New ones coming soon!
Great video Sam. You are awesome!! Do you have social that we can follow and ask questions?
All of them in sammiller.life! Thanks manv
