Yo I lived in Belèn and Laureles for 6 months. I didn’t want to come home ever. Also I wouldn’t even walk around with a phone out let alone a camera dude. As they say down there: “no dar papaya”
You have a total of 4 RUclips channels. You should promote more your other 3 channels. I just discovered your channel En Español and rediscovered your podcast/ interview channel.
All good stuff, you are talented.
Min. 32:10 BLM? what? they are ignorant. BLM doesn't care about black people, they looted and destroyed their small businesses, and burned out whole commerce places and downtown cities where Democrats rule.
This is near Medellin's "Centro" ? ruclips.net/video/vVvcJjlYN1s/видео.html
One of my favorite things I remember hearing is "the best thing you can gain from travel is perspective"
Having been to most of the major cities in Colombia from Riohacha to Cali…commenting about the treats you bought and being African American…I’ve never had any race issues anywhere in Colombia. I was excited to visit Choco and the Caribbean cities like Cartagena and Barranquilla where the mix of African, Spanish and Indigenous are more pronounced, but I’ve had a blast every time I have stayed. I have been visiting Colombia since 1996 and I love the country and the people…and the food!!! OMG!
beautiful chaos… ¡perfecto! - I am approaching 1 year's worth of time living in Medellin. STILL my favorite country, and I have lived in 6 different countries in the past 2 years.
Loved your video so much. It's hard to capture entirely such a complex city. And as a Colombian who lived in Medellín for several years, I think you did it amazingly!
En Colombia hay un dicho: "No dar papaya", que básicamente significa, no mostrarle a los ladrones las cosas valiosas que tenemos, es como no ostentarlas, te recomiendo que lo apliques 👍🇨🇴🤗 Así disfrutará más de este bello país, saludos
@Leonardo Candia esto es una jungla de cemento. para los habitantes no es problema porque conocemos muy bien las ciudades. pero para un extranjero resalta demasiado entre la multitud y nunca oponen resistencia son muy miedosos y sumisos. mientras que los colombianos se hacen matar por un celular. los extranjeros son muy miedosos al cuidar lo suyo. en las calles no se demuestra el miedo porque resalta entre la multitud y puede llamar a gente no deseada.
@Leonardo Candia todas las ciudades de colombia son inseguras unas mas que otras. manizales no tanto. pero el resto si se ve mucha drogadicion en cada parque. y muchas neas que les gusta estar robando
@Leonardo Candia aca en las calles puedes conseguir de todo desde un rolex hasta un subfusil. aca todo es negociable.
Verdad
Qué bonito documental amigo. Muchas gracias, soy paisa y me pareció un excelente documental.
¡Gracias por el gran respeto que mostraste por la humanidad!
Saludos desde Medellín-Colombia
Thank you for showing us the beautiful chaos of Medellin, especially Comuna 13!
Great video, Dan! Showing all of the sides/faces of Medellin all in the same video was an excellent way to showcase the city. Well done!
This was really nice and greatly made. Thanks for that and hoping you travel and document more.
Absolutely UNbelieveable video. I have watched dozens of travel videos in preparation for an upcoming trip I am taking and this gave me exactly what I was looking for; very Inspiring stuff. I am definately going to be reaching out to Johan for a Tour and I cant wait! Keep up the great work!
Thanks man! As someone who dabbles in video editing, I know just like much time and effort it takes to craft up something like this. I'm headed to Medellin next week and this helped provide some extra color to things that I was researching. Keep on creating and traveling! 🙌🏾
Amazing video dude. Great job showcasing this amazing city.
I just finished watching the whole thing and I LOVED IT!! Fellow traveller here.. planning to visit Cartagena for the first time in September. This is by far one of your best videos. Part #3 was my favourite, your guide was amazing. The ending with your friends and the music was so nice to watch. You should seriously enter this video in documentary competitions! Also, Your Spanish has improved soooo much Dan, your are fluent ☺️Great job and Happy Canada day my friend ☺️🇨🇦
Thanks so much Busybee 🙏
Thank you so much Dan for showing us these neighborhoods in Medellin!! Amazing video!! I sooo enjoyed watching & I will keep watching! I want to visit Colombia this year! From The Sunshine Coast BC! 🇨🇦
Great video! The message, creativity, and music were perfect!❤
Dan. Dude! Great content 👍🏾 It’s like you figured out what no other RUclipsr has and it works perfectly. Your content really speaks to my intellect and I’m convinced I want to hear more of your travels. Great work bro.
Appreciate it, Daryl!
Wow! You really did a great job showing us a lot about Medellin, especially Comuna 13. I have been planning to visit the city to check out living in Medellin --- you have definitely encouraged me to Colombia as soon as possible. Thank you!!!
Great great video through and through I have to say. Listen.......thank you for taking time to film. I enjoyed it alot. I am visiting Medellin for the first time in August 2023. Again, I love the video........ especially learning of the area of Comuna 13 which I've read a lot about. Thank you!! 👍🏼😃
Greetings from Saskatoon, thank you so much for sharing!!! Great info!!!
Medellin: “In some ways it has a hundred different faces” and that is why I’m still hesitant to visit but I can’t stop thinking about it. I’m fascinated by what I’ve seen online, not to mention that enchanting accent of their gorgeous women. Fantastic perspective, love this video.
Loved the video! Thanks for sharing.
Moving to Colombia soon with my wife and 3 daughters.
Watching your video help to enforce my reasoning for loving.
Great video -- Loved seeing the passion of coffee in Columbia, especially the ceremony of the cupping session.
I love this! 💚 Great content and storytelling!
Great content. Keep it comin'.
I was thinking about my time there the whole time you were speaking and also saw a lot of beauty. Definetely worth visiting...but keep your head on a swivel and aware of surroundings.
this was a lot of great info the way the coffee is made .I love the prosses you use to make coffee. the for thank you for video.
I’m living just outside the city of Medellin for 11 years now and want to put this video up in my Facebook group for Colombia. Your video was very accurate. I enjoyed it right to the end.
Dude you got me SO HYPED!!!!!!
We are also planning to spend a longer period in Medellin to share the beauty and culture of the city and Colombia as a whole. Your video provided tons of inspiration for that project!
I was watching one of your videos about Calgary, and then I realized that you’ve been to my home city. Wow that makes me feel honoured, hope you have had a blast in Medellin, the city of the never-ending spring 🌹
Congratulations Dan on one of your finest videos yet! I loved all of it.
One obvious reason is that Medellin is one of my favorite cities. How fortunate you were to spend a whole month there. After my second visit to Medellin in 2019 I seriously considered relocating there. But the pandemic put the brakes on that. However, I'm going back for another visit in August.
Medellin is one of the most physically beautiful cities I know. I urge people to try and stay in a place on an upper floor. I stayed at an airbnb on the 24th floor of a high rise and the views were out of this world.
I also went on a Comuna 13 tour. It's one of the must-see things in the city. I agree that Poblado is a little too touristy. I stayed both times close to Metro Bicentenario. A gritty neighborhood but I never had any trouble. In August I'm staying in Laureles, a bit more upscale.
One of the things Medellin is most proud of is being the only city in Colombia with a metro system, something even the capital, Bogota, doesn't have. I'm surprised you didn't film there. It's very safe. Graffiti free and takes you most places you would want to go. And it includes an unforgettable cable ride to neighborhoods at high elevations.
BTW I never depend on my cell phone for the time. I wear the cheapest, ugliest watch Walmart sells. So I don't have to reach for a phone to tell someone the time. And if anyone wants to steal my cheap watch, go for it!.
Bogota started constructing a METRO on October 2020 with a completion date of October 2028. Barranquilla is also in the process of constructing a metro/light rail (COVID delay).
At first I thought this video was kinda corny (still do lol), but you have some great nuggets within this vlog, and I like the way you articulate what you see and experience. I'm an American who has lived several years in a S. Amer. country, and I've been many times to Colombia (my favorite!) and I totally get the nuances of Colombian neighborhoods you seem to be describing. I especially like how you compared El Poblado and Laureles or Belen to like a swimming pool and an ocean in terms of the experience one may feel. Also, I'm a black American who loved the little bit about certain "terms of endearment" that wouldn't stand a chance in our countries! I was called "negro" in Argentina, and I called my overweight friends "gordo" and it was nothing jeje. Thank you for a great video, I look forward to seeing what else you put out.
Wow I didn’t even realize how long this video was until I reached the end. Looking forward to seeing Colombia in January 💕
I love how genuine you are. Showing a realistic day of visiting Medellín, not some gussied up, fake video. 👏
Thx, great video. Very inspiring.
Just watched tillbend and man you nailed it!!! Great vid
Thank you for showing the true Medellin. The good and the bad. This has got to be the best video about xpats in Medellin.
I enjoyed your video so very much!
Thanks Dan. Love your videos.
you sold me great video I appreciate it
Congratulations on the great video Dan, you kept this baby boomer engaged, and you showed a lot of the Colombian experience, I've been going there for the last 20 years but basically on the coast, I definitely love the culture, plus all of my wife's family is living in Colombia, so I guess I see Colombia with a different perspective than a tourist, I usually spend three weeks to 5 weeks when I go so I get a good taste of the culture. Keep up the good work. Thanks 👍
I really enjoyed this ❤ I’m going to Medellin soon and this helped me
Greetings from Saskatoon, thank you so much for sharing!!!
Ended up in my feed, watched 6 vlogs already. Good funny vlogger, good talker, great edit and good music. Me like. 👍
Thanks!
Beautiful chaos. Well chosen words. 🌹
Liked your video the content is so real and natural
So glad you enjoyed visiting our beautiful country colombia, greetings from USA 🇺🇸 🙏🇨🇴✌️
Hey amiga anyway i could have some help with de-cyphering a colombian address
nice to see a Vancouverite's perspective. We are going in June. Well done! Thanks
VERY NICE VIDEO!!!!!! GREAT JOB!!!!
Brilliant brilliant content brother. Keep doing it. The best I've ever watch thusfar
Thanks so much man
The first half of this video was good,.. the second half was nothing short of truly awe-inspiring.,... both as a digital travel blog, but more importantly, as a sincere fellow human being. Tks for sharing your travels and inspiring me to be a Digital Nomad. Safe Travels!
This was an amazing video. I loved the content and was impressed with the guide who knew 3 languages. Who would have know that he could speak German.... Incredible. Great vibes except for the incident you encountered.
Just came back from Colombia last nite after 2 weeks. Loved it and yeah be aware of ur surroundings just like anywhere in the world.
A truly remarkable video, Dan. Congratulations!
This was amazing! I loved it!
I am really happy to see that you are visiting my country. I am from the south of colombia. From à little Town called Florencia. And i grow in Bogota . I have been only once in Medellín and I reallly love it! It has a Nice weather not too hot not too cold just perfect and the atmosphere is nice. Really nice city
Wanted travel tips, stayed for the story telling. Really good!
Great video. Very transparent honest opinion. Glad you had a good experience.
And to answer your question. What you kind of experience ( even if it very limited ) is the way Medellin and most of Colombia is like. Fortunately or unfortunately. Some are privileged and live in a bubble full of pleasures while others struggle and have a hard time living a day at the time.
The lesson however is that Colombians are probably among the most resilient people you will ever meet and despite the challenges people are friendly, warm and welcoming.
Awesome video! very inspiring! can't wait to visit Medellin!
Great video. Enjoyed it a lo
I just found your travel this evening, and probably close to three times your age, I still think of myself as a traveler. I have slowed some, and following young men and women your age motivates the travel bug in me. (I was a college professor, who luckily may have learned more from my students of all ages, than they learned from me.)
Very informative video
Great video. Inspiring, uplifting and authentic. Keep it up man! Cheers from Orlando, Florida. We were planning our trip to Colombia and this video was super educational.
Thank you Alex!
Great vid man, congrats ...
You have just gained a new subscriber. Thank you so much for taking the time to make and post this video because I really enjoyed. Stay safe and I can't wait to see more.
Gringo been here 14 months and love it! I live in Envigado which is very peaceful and safe....
Dan this video was incredible. Watched the whole thing (with a cigar and whiskey in hand). I also loved your swimming pool / ocean analogy about travel and going into some of the more uncomfortable situations - or rather just getting out of your comfort zone to go out and experience the world for yourself. You are the new media showing us great places and very personal experiences. The best travel channel there is. Glad you got back out there after *the situation* took travel away from most of us for too long. You are a true blessing my friend.
Love this video. I’m heading to Colombia in 2 months, as Hispanic myself, I’m so excited. Btw, Hispanic people are NOT sensitive to the race factor. We take nothing in offense. Like “negro” (Spanish pronunciation) is not offensive. They actually feel very proud to be called like that. If you say it in an offensive tone, be sure ALL OF US will gang up to protect that person from your attack. We do see each others as the same or equal regardless of skin color, it’s a sense of community. we all suffered from colonialism at the end, some countries consider our black people as heritage so we all work together to preserve it but they do not feel or think that they are better than the rest of us in the country. We all one people.
It was a culture shock when I moved to the US and found out how sensitive people was here. My husband had to walk me through everything to adapt better 😂.
Man I can’t wait for Colombia, I’m so excited ❤❤❤❤
This the first video I’ve seen on your channel. Interesting, entertaining and informative. I will subscribe. I have a question. I want to visit Colombia for a few days; which city do you recommend? Thanks again
Love learning what is the world and dude, you are such a great guide.
It was awesome bro, an excellent video about Medellin. It's a chaotic but beautiful city. I've been living here almost a year and I'm still getting to know the city.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks Pulido
I'm definitely a "Traveler Weirdo" also 😉 Great content.... safe travels brother.
Hey my friend, thank you so much for showing one of the beautiful cities of my country..!
Wow, Dan, this was excellent. At my business today, a client from Medellin told me how beautiful it is so I looked it up and found your video. Watched it to the end over the course of the day (and very happy about that because I'm a vegan and there you were at Alma Natura)! ....I had to pause watching numerous times during the day and one of those times I googled 'vegan restaurants Medellin'!! IF I ever go (I"m 61 now, traveling alone?.. not sure)..... will def check out Comuna 13 too. Gracias por todos, sus palabras profundo tambien - really enjoyed it up to the very end.
Nice video, cool channel ! Cheers from LA !
Thanks!
From Connecticut with love.
cool video, im currently in laureles now
Thanks so much brother for sharing your awesome experience in Medellin it was wonderful
for all of you that enjoyed cuna 13, i recomned you to watch this documnetary, it is called (la sierra) really rough, and it shows you live what la sierra was all about, Im colombian and i cant believe is the same place, la comuna 13 back in the early 90's was worst that beirut
NICE VIDEOS THANKS
Que feliz y contento me siento cuando alguien conoce mi pais y ve la verdadera realidad de Colombia 🇨🇴 sus raicez sus costumbres su cultura
Que orgulloso me siento de ser Colombiano.
Gracias a este chico por visitar (medellin) good guy!
Great episode Dan, brought back memories of the time I spent there. It truly is a city like no other! I stayed in the Laureles neighborhood when I was there, and I really enjoyed it - all of the areas of the city are wonderful in their own ways!!
Good to follow your gut even if you overreacted. On the packaging us foreigners don’t worry over such simple things. I’m Canadian born in Jamaica so I understand what you mean, great video.
Great video
Dan, not far from Comuna 13, I grew up in a middle-class neighborhood in Medellin. I had to live through the 1980-1990 drug-trafficking violence that the drug cartels generated… that was the other part of Medellin, most of us who live in it suffer and we lost families and friends in an absurd war due to greed the ignorance of the murderers for seizing the power of a country that was the medellin of millions of victims that you did not talk about in your video
I can see why you would say this... but he does have a video showing Barrio Escobar.
Also, I think that he was trying to seperate Medellian from the Narco Wars that have been made so popular today through the Netflix show, as well as the other TV shows and documentaries focusing on Pablo, Popeye, the Ochoas, Lehdar, the Cali cartel and such.
One of the first things people think of when mentioning Columbia , especially Medellian, is Pablo and his Narco Terrorism. Atleast here in the US that is how it is. I feel like he did this video in a manner that tried to show the beauty and diversity of the city and not just focus on its lethal past. I don't think he meant to disrespect anyone. I think he meant to show the utmost respect by not focusing on those things and instead showing the city's true beauty.
Hey sweei . Muchas Gracia por useles es una una Estrella en lestaa cuidad muy
Interesting X3
It's amazing. All I remember from my college days was the fame Medellin earned in the news and movies about the cocaine trade
A city like no other
Really enjoyed your video. Very well done. Interesting, honest, thought provoking. Thank you, Dan.
Job well done. Kindly please share what part of Medellin was the park with the free weights in? Was it Laureles?
Wow, This documentary, like other videos of yours, are great; thank you for teaching it to the world, It helps to create social transformation of peace and awareness, in addition to knowing cultures, history, gastronomy...
I'm from Colombia and I appreciate your work, I hope see you again in the country, always u and everyone are welcome.
✨
Yes, this is a long video, but you know what? The viewer can pause it at any time.
I am a proud Patreon supporter of this channel and I always look forward to the next video!
Excellent...learned alot. Relaxing presentation. Enjoyed youth ...again.👣
Great video. I Definitely have to go to Medellin
Very nice, how safe did you feel taking your camera in comuna 13? Going there next week
Another great video, Dan!! The way you take the viewer through town on your walks with you, bringing us into conversations with locals and other such strangers is so much fun. In my opinion, there’s no better way to travel than to get out of that bubble and experience the culture in a less filtered way. I’ve added another destination to my list now. 😁🐢
Funny thing, I've been talking and videoing with a lady from Medellin for the past 2 years and after hearing you talk about Community 13, I asked her if she knew about about it or knew where it is. She came back and told me that she lives there.... Interesting. I'll try to get more information from her in the future.
32:24 True!💯
Bogotá is the best, because is a big city, more culture and security
Here we go again.." one of the most dangerous places!"What an introduction and how long does one has to live to listen to the same description.
