      @Wandering_nomad_forever-xl7uq wow, I spend a lot less then that and live great. I have a 3 bedroom 3 bath apartment for now with weaker dollar, $400 a month fully air conditioning. In stratus 6. With rent, utilities, food, uber 3 trips a day, and $180 a month for school for a 6 year old. Going out for a nice stake dinner once a week. Maybe around $1500, take away the dinners out. 1200 a month

    Your content is honest and very very informative. What you do is very important for those of us who are either travelers at heart or potential overseas retirees. Your monthly expense values of $1500 are really spot on for many of us who are looking to retire or relocate to columbia. Also, I am glad that you exclude discussion of the fuss related to crazy nightlife. Keep it real my friend.

      Thanks for watching! I will say this was last year so there's some adjustments for inflation. But yes it's very affordable to live in Colombia especially Cali. Yeah I'm not a big nightlife guy, sure I like to go out and enjoy. But I don't really highlight this on my channel.

    • @explorequipo
      @explorequipo  Год назад +1

      Well I haven't made Cali home yet, there's still some other cities that I have in mind. But I will do another video once I compare to some other cities. Yeah I think I was telling prices more or less from the Granada area, but I did say you could spend less than what I'm spending or more it really will just depend on the person. Because I know a few guys that spend $2, 000 or more a month just because they want more luxury accommodation. But definitely it's stillvery inexpensive to live here. But hahaha I ended up spending more time in Cali for a few reasons lol

      Friends, for the most part in particular. But also I have a good set up in Granada. But I have plans to go back to Medellín really soon. And then I'll be going to another city after that. I would say Cali is definitely in the running for a possible landing spot, but there's one city that is definitely at the top for me now. But I will say I never considered living in Cali until I came back this time around it really grew on me.

    I like the way to walk around. I have this "philosophy" of lack of a better word is that whenever i move to an area, it's best to to go with the "grain" or flow of the city to really fit in even if when don't look like the people around. You seem to follow that same "philosophy'.

    • @explorequipo
      @explorequipo  Год назад

      Yeah this area really has grown on me a lot, and it's at a point where people at certain places recognize. Also I speak with a lot of people in building because they see me so much. So maybe more than any other place I've been I haven't ventured out much in Cali I really like this area a lot. And it's made me a little more comfortable with being a part of a community. I usually always feel like a visitor, but I've been in one apartment the entire time I've been in Cali.

      Well in Cali you want to look in the north... Granada, El Peñón, and Chipichape areas, in Bogota Chapinero close to Zona T, they're some good areas around the city center but I would look near Zona T. As far as apps to use you can use Uber, Didi, Cabify, and just look on Airbnb for accomodations
