I watched this new format video of yours and I gotta be honest . . . it was fantastic!!! I really loved it, especially you trying local cuisine and major sites (whether you succeeded or not in reaching some of them, which is a common experience for all tourists).
Kudos to you on this success, getting the opportunity to visit such a great country, and the impressive drone photography you do.
Yay! Thank you! 😊
Dari nice to see you, we have gone several times to Cartagena several times we enjoyed our stay
I’d love to visit Cartagena!
Yay! I visited my in laws there a few years ago, we stayed in Bogota for a few days and Cucuta after that! It was so pretty, I loved the food, the weather was perfect, I loved all the mountains 😍
Sounds perfect!
This is well constructed. Great content and editing. Well done, Dari! ❤
Thank you so much!!
Well done Dari! From start to finish this was amazing! This was like watching a travel channel! The Beautiful Scenery, the different food and drinks.( Eating the bug!)🤢 Nooooo! I couldn't! I would like to thank you and your friend for sharing this wonderful place! A place that alot of us won't see in person in our lifetime. We'll done! Enjoyed so much!❤❤❤❣️😊
Thanks a lot 💫
@@DariStep❤❤❤❣️☺️
Excellent video Dari this is most exciting trip so far like Spain and Columbia speaks Spanish. I never seen so many trees there and the streets looked clean, l like coffee no cheese in them and Columbia is the best coffee in the world l have mine black no milk but two sugars . You went the best time because it’s summer over there was it hot over there? Look forward to your next video when you get back.
It wasn’t so hot - very comfortable!
You saw Colombia in the best way possible, with a local friend to guide you. 🇨🇴
Trueee
Does you friend have a RUclips channel?
How fantastic you were in my country, more than welcome. And even more amazing that you've knew Santander, is an amazing department with even more amazing things to do and see although sorry for the ants... I also hate them 😂😂😬 nice you were in Barichara but you've missed San Gil, the Colombia's capital of adventure 😁😁😁
Just a couple of things. About the security issue, although is far more better than 20 or 30 years ago, that situation is not as nice and your friend told you, at all. There are still many problems with it, perhaps is a bit more isolated and a bit less random than it used to be... as for Monserrate, you're right. Sundays are the worst days to go there as for the Candelaria. Is better go those places from monday to saturday, you enjoy them more.
Thanks for sharing 🙌🏼
I appreciate your honest reviews. If something doesn't taste good, you let us know.
Personally, when I think of Columbia, I think of two things: Coffee and Gabriel García Marquez.
Thanks! Beautiful video Dari, one of your best my friend. ❤🤗💯🙏
I spent 3 months in colombia, its the best place ive ever traveled to! Had the time of my life.
I can understand you 😍
12:18 Such a happy face! LOL Thanks for being a trooper and trying the local cuisine for us. 🐜❤
Any time! 😃
A good place to go for hikes . Fantastic !
Wow Colombia looks amazing now I know why they are famous for racing the mountain stages in the tour de France so glad you get to see so much of it and I don't kno about eating the ant that's crazy but the food looks really good and you have such nice friends I really miss your travel vlogs thanks so much for sharing
I wish to have more of them 💔
Colombia looks amazing! Thank you for sharing your visit there with us.
Glad you liked it 🙌🏼😊
I am planning on visiting Colombia! Thank you for sharing your Colombian adventure!
What an absolutely amazing trip that can never be duplicated because of all the tremendous amount of variety in such a short time!! Carolina and her family are a world of love. The filming is exceptional and this is the best travelogue ever to showcase Columbia!
Thanks a lot 🙏🏼
There's Dari... living the dream! 😁👍 Your friend is bubbly, vivacious, and adorable. A great friend to have.
Couldn't agree more!
@@DariStep I'm sure that made your South American journey that much more enjoyable as well. 😊
Dari, what an interesting trip and a different culture you have experienced. I was really enjoying the smaller town vibes. When you were filming in Bogota, I was feeling a little Deja vu, like I was just there, then I remembered Bald &Bankruptcy and Backpack Ben was there. Of course they show us the dangerous parts from the square. I guess when you get back to New York, you will have to sign up for dance lessons so you not like a fish out of water. 😁😁 You friend was a great tour guide with a smile twice as big as yours. Glad you had a great time.
I went to Colombia 5 or 6 times as a younger man in early 2000's, and I had an absolute blast! Everyone I met was pleasant and accommodating. I also really love the sound of Colombian Spanish. Thank you for making and sharing your videos!! Best wishes from Texas!
That's awesome! 🤩
Dari, You didn't look so happy eating an ant. I don't blame you. You're very fortunate to have been to so many beautiful places all over the world.. Very nicely done video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks a lot 🙌🏼
Great video Dari. I really enjoyed it.
I'm so glad!
Had to set this video aside until I could watch it without distraction, and it was worth the wait! Wow, Dasha, that's a heckuva trip you managed there. I've heard lots of good things about Colombia, and now I want to visit. Travel budget goes up again... 😅💸👍
Thank you so much 🫶🏼
Thank you so much for sharing this Lovely Journey in Colombia Dari ❤❤and your great personal travel reportage 👌
Thanks for watching 🫶🏼
Nice video! I was in the old town of Cartagena and loved it. I definitely want to go back and see more of this beautiful country!
And I really want to go to Cartagena 😍
Go Dari Go! Sending love from Texas
Once again great video! And Columbia is on my bucket list. Everyone who has visited has loved it!
Happy you enjoyed it!
Great video, Colombia looks amazing! Visiting a friend is a nice way to get to know their home country, and as a bonus, Carolina gives us a tour too. 🇨🇴 Keep going with your Spanish lessons!
Thank you!!! And yeah, learning Spanish every week 😃
This is just mind-blowingly good, Dari. Your drone shots are spectacular as always, and credit to Carolina as well for being a great and very lively guide!
It's videos like these where you shine, Dari. It's easy to see how happy you are when traveling, but you also remain very genuine in your opinions (I can't imagine how bad that ant tasted!). You're a natural storyteller; the ability to describe the world and events around you is your wheelhouse and one of many gifts that we're grateful you share with us! I look forward to your next adventure! :)
Thank you so much ☺️
Wow what a great documentary! This country is so beautiful and your video shows us all its beauty: wonderful nature, friendly people, like your friend, and delicious food. Thank you very much Dari for this amazing video. Wish you all the best, always❤

Nice to see you enjoying tour stay in Colombia Daria. Carolina's family seemed like very nice hosts. Well done video. I enjoyed immensely! I'm getting ready myself for my trip to Vilnius to spend some time with my wife who is renovating her apartment in Minsk. Love your videos!
Thank you! 😃glad you enjoyed it!

Happy to hear you liked it!
Great stuff Dari! Funny, thoughtful, curious, and above all interesting. You're a natural explorer.
Thanks so much 🫶🏼
Thank you Dasha...wonderful video💖
Glad you liked it!!
Wow what an incredible video Dari! So impressive and so fun to watch. Your content truly keeps getting better and better and is so enjoyable to watch. Thank you so much for this excellent video and seeing you and your friend traveling around together was awesome.
Thank you for your nice words 💫
Your experience was amazing! Thank you for making and editing a great video! You are the best! 😀
Thank you so much!!
My fiancé is from Colombia, in Bogata. I went to visit her the first time a year ago. I loved it. Mind you, there are certain ways to dress(namely males), and yes, I agree, keep items that look expensive out of eye sight. Just like you did Dari, having a trusted local guide take you around is the best. And yes, the coffee is AMAZING there, "Juan Valdez" shops. CHEAP as well. How I miss it.
Trueee!
Dasha, blessing for you in the name of Yeshu the Anointed
I must admit that whenever I would think of columbia I envisioned it as a bad place but your video changed my view. Beautiful place that deserves a visit.
Happy to hear that!
@@DariStep thanks Dari- hope you enjoy your visit there
Great video! Colombia is a beautiful place. Thank you for sharing this
Thank you Curt 💫
Wow, Best trip ever! Gracias, Дякую, Los Angeles started doing that road closure for bikes, but not every Sunday.
That’s cool!
Wow! Colombia is gorgeous. So are you and your friend. Thanks for the upload, Dari. ❤
Thank you 🙏🏼 I hope you will enjoy the video!
Great video, Dari, as always! Thank you for the time and effort you put into it! 💛
Happy you loved it 😊
I think the best video on Colombia that I have seen thus far. Interesting content that focus on the unusual (although common to the locals.) Peppered with need to know facts like costs of everything
Thanks a lot!
OMG Dari!! That was a great video!!! I think I'm going to watch it again! What a very beautiful country. You are super lucky that you have such an awesome friend. The filming and editing of this are amazing! You did an amazing job!! I hope you are doing well in NY. Hugs and kisses from Minnesota😘🥰
Thank you sooo much for such kind words 💫
Thank you for this wonderful vlog of Columbia Dari. It was very enjoyable to watch. The food also looked amazing, I think.
My pleasure 😊
Columbia is a dream country😃.
It really is 🫶🏼
I didn't know Columbia was so beautiful. 😍
It really is 😍
Such an amazing video! So inspiring to see you try sooo many things for the first time ever!
Great video. Thank you for the work you out into it.
My pleasure!
Very amazing Ms Dari. Thank you for share such an amazing trip.
My pleasure :))
Dari, you have convinced me - no ants!
Ahahha yeah better without them lol
I loved this :) I learned so much, keep it up girl
I'm so glad! ☺️
DARI thanks for sharing this with me 🤗✌️ you are the best 💕 it always great to see your videos 😍 you are still so beautiful as always 😍 please keep up the great work you do for us 💯 take care of yourself and be safe beautiful ❤️😍✌️🤗
Glad you enjoyed the video!
This is top-tier content 👌👌👌
Ahah thanks!
Good Job Dasha! Very well done and very interesting.
Thanks!
Dari, I am so happy for you to have this opportunity to see this country with a built in tour guide. It is obvious you clearly enjoyed yourself.
Great video Dari!!!! love your content.
Glad you enjoy it!
❤ it is amazing when I think that my very first view into the culture of Columbia comes through the camera of a Russian girl. And the girl is very kind to speak in English, because I don’t speak Russian and my Spanish is terrible.
I visited Cartagena, Columbia in the late 1970's for a week. I have found memories of the kindness of the local people, delicious food, and night clubs. Is was surreal.
I want to visit Cartagena 😍
Dari's in colombia!! One of my favorite countries to visit. I was too afraid to leave the cities though, since I didn't have a guide. But it's such a beautiful place with friendly people
It really is 🥰
Viva Colombia! Great video!
Thank you!
Excellent video Dari. Not sure about the breakfast drink though! Loved the lakes and hills despite the dodgy roads. The boat trip looked great fun. Colombia has a poor reputation so l was much surprised about the national parks and cable car and that great monument. Great that you show us the good sides to the country and included travel advice from your friend. As usual there was lots of food some you loved and some not so good! Great scenes from the paragliding, I can see why youd be nervous but it was a great experience. Pleased to see many young people in the towns and most places pretty clean. Great glamping place where you can sleep under the stars. A lot of driving though, must have been tiring. The Bogota buildings were great to see but was amazed about the different prices based on class. Not heard of that before. Lovely video and I learned a lot from your enthusiastic presentation. Great work Dari!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts 💭
It was a fantastic video Dari! Thank you very much for that. The landscapes of Amazonia are very beautiful and the mountains too are amazing. The colorful houses are also fantastic. I'm glad you showed it! (As for the kidnappers, looking at the 23:02 spot, I would have thought about it fifty years ago. But then, I'm an old grandfather. )
Thanks a lot ☺️
Columbia is so beautiful,thanks so much for sharing us this wonderful journey！😍😍😍😍😍😍
Happy you liked it!
What an awesome video and trip. I had to watch you eat the ant twice 🤣😂. Did you say God Bless Me before eating it? LOL! Thanks for the video.
Ahahhahaha I did 😂😂😂
Fantastic adventure! Thank you for sharing! When I was in Colombia I was traveling with a friend who is fluent in Spanish and I know a little of the language, enough to get by. Definitely it helps if you have someone with you that can help smooth things over. Truly I liked the country side and the people there better than Bogota.. I could only handle Bogota for a couple days but I could see myself living in the quiet mountain top villages for months and being at peace. When I was there the country did not actually have a lot of fresh coffee.. most of it was reserved for export. Most of the coffee I had there was instant from crystals. But the fresh fruit juices were everywhere and I couldn't get enough, they were so good. So many fruits that we don't get in the U.S..
When you go back definitely try to get over to the Cocora Valley and Solento, the hiking up to the ranger station is a little challenging but if you can get off earlier you might have time to stop by the humming bird sanctuary. Rain usually rolls in during the afternoon so it helps to get to the top before that. There are also horses that you can rent to ride up to the ranger station.
Loved the format and all of your design choices, Colombia is looking so good.
Thanks for sharing it 😍😍😍 sounds amazing!
What an amazing video about one of the most beautiful countries. I visited Colombia few years ago on a solo trip and was greeted with nothing but kindness. The people, the food, the views are fantastic there, I'm glad that you were able to see this stunning country as well.
Thank uu 🙌🏼
I do Love to see your Travel Videos Dari..... And this is a very good one.... It is a very Beautiful Country, and it is good to see it is losing it`s bad reputation... You looked Stunning as well Sweet Lady...... Stay Safe and Happy..... :-))) xxxxxxxx
Thank you!
Does your friend have a RUclips vide? She has a lot of Personality like you do
Unfortunately not yet ahaha
Sooo good! The tourism board of Columbia should be paying you for such an amazing advertisement! Really beautiful country! Great docu-vid, Dari! Молодец!
Ahahah I also think so lol! Thanks!
Great video Dasha! Colombia is a wonderful often misunderstood country. I've visited a couple of times and never felt unsafe. Wonderful kind people, amazing fruit and flowers. Beautiful diverse landscape and gorgeous woman that all can dance. The coffee is amazing but not everywhere. The locals often don't get the best.
Thank you Carolina for sharing your country with us. You were a wonderful hostess.
Dari I love your honest opinion!!!
In the UK we have cook programs on TV. Every time a presenter will eat they always say it’s nice…. Like we believe that 🤨
But your honesty when trying new food is re freshly different.😊
Happy to hear it!
What an amazing trip! You were brave to eat that ant. LOL !
Ahaha thank you!
Speaking of hot women, you're as lovely as ever Dasha. Another great video and a great insight into a country I have never been to.
Thank you!!!
@@DariStep my pleasure. Also, your friend is a natural presenter. She ought to start a RUclips channel to introduce her country to prospective visitors!
I was there about 15 years ago over Christmas visiting my Columbian daughter (exchange student) and her family. We visited Bogota Medellin, Cartagena and her home town. It was a great trip. Air fare is cheap, so that's the way to go between point A and B. Travelling by road is difficult; in particular if you go from one valley to another as you have to climb up and over a mountain range.
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Dari, how did you become so open-minded?
Columbia is such a beautiful country, Thanks for being such a good tour guide for us people who havent been to columbia. Your friend was beautiful just like you!!
Our pleasure!
I love to see you traveling and enjoying life.
This was a very interesting video. It was helpful that you tried ants so that we don't have to. The rest of the food looked delicious.
Ahahahah 😅
Always happy to help lol
Wow! Yay! I love your travel channel continues! I love this. Eww gross. I would get SOOO sick of plantaines. My only complaint! Ha ha. Unless they make them better than the local restaurant in Charleston sc "fuel" does. Still simply amazing footage. No looking over the dishes I'm really not a fan of this type of cuisine. As a treat every once in a while maybe, yet who cares when your in a tropical paradise!?!? Lol your not back in NYC eating them out of a can! Ha ha jk but seriously I can cook better than some of those cheap NYC diners. I love the bakeries in NYC is where it's at. That girl is cool! How did you meet her? Hey I have that mtv shirt! I wonder if her country exported it to the USA or the other way around? Anyways i always find the concept of a " sweet cheese" desert in any place a bit too much. In lebanon they have a similar breakfast dish, and its simply too sweet for me. Cheese for me as an american is something that goes on a pizza with marinara not sweatened to taste like pure sugar or have maple syrup poured on it. I mean its edible but it is something you have to get used to. It couldnt be that bad as while describing it here i had a homer simpson moment and went "cheeeeese hmmm" while starting to drool. At the time it 😂 was simply too much. Now its in memory i want it! Isnt it ironic? I love yoi described it as a place where any moment a dance could break out 😂 lol
Very beautiful mountains and water ways and nature. You were fortunate to have a local friend accompany you for safety, fun, culture, and good prices.
What an awesome video! Thank you for sharing the trip with us!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow what a great experience for you. It looked like a lot of fun and your friend kept you very busy.
It really was 😍
@@DariStep I am glad you are able to have these experiences and share them with all of us subscribers.
Columbia looks so beautiful. I'd love to be able to visit someday.
You should! 💫
Very good video and thank you for visiting my country Colombia.
Thank uu
You ate 🐜BIG ANTS 🐜👀😮🤯😬Pure protein 😂👍
They sure do love 🧀cheese🧀and coffee🍵 in Colombia😂
And it's relatively clean there
Great video Dari
I'm glad you had a great time there - a vacation away from school and the hecticness of NYC
👋😁
Thanks a lot 🙏🏼
Dari, you have a lovely friend and family! You are such a kind person yourself. I wish I could travel like you. Seeing the absolute most beautiful places, small and big. They have a rich culture. I'll enjoy their food - except the one you didn't like. (Worm-thing) Is she your Spanish teacher? I wouldn't mind having such a lively young lady as teacher. I'm very glad you enjoyed it!
Ahahaha she does help me with Spanish but isn’t my teacher :)
Colombia is so colorful, lively and beautiful! I love it! I really enjoy places where you can feel free and close to nature.
True!!
❤
You're braver than I am, with the ant! I'm planning a trip to Colombia. My Spanish is "decent"
Good luck 🍀
Viva Colombia
Oh, what fun! Definitely on my list of places to visit.
Enjoyed this. A conversational style to this vid was interesting and of course Columbia is very very appealing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sending love from America
Glad you had a great time but as you said. It can be dangerous especially for women in my opinion. Driving so far to get to your destination. To me, that seems really risky for two young beautiful ladies. Going into the mountains where you stayed was so secluded. It was beautiful! And the hammick was pretty kool! But if your from another country not knowing where is safe. You had your friend take you places that were. You always do great vlogs and thank you for taking us along! ❤❤
Thanks for watching 💫
Dari thank you for taking us on your vacation with you. You did a great long-form video, interviewing the locals and taking in the sites. Now I'd like to find a local Colombian restaurant here in Queens that serves food as you experienced it. I give the video 4 stars!
What’s was missing to have the 5 starts? 😊
Scale was zero to four stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
