SafetyWing (best for younger travelers + digital nomads): safetywing.com?referenceID=alinamcleod&Ambassador
I use both of these companies depending on the destination and requirements of entry. If you are going to be abroad for a long time and/or don't need as much coverage, I would recommend SafetyWing. BUT you cannot purchase SafetyWing WHILE in Canada or USA. You can only purchase once already abroad. Hey Mondo is more expensive but offers a higher level of coverage including plans that have trip cancellation/interruption insurance. Hey Mondo would be the better insurance to use if you need travel medical insurance when applying for a visa. Both companies cover covid. I am an affiliate for both companies, but I pay for my own policies.

0:08 I don't know why I imaging you doing this. Hahaha ,😘
I love your CHANNEL I can practice my listening skills in english. My mother language is Spanish I wish I were tourist in New York City❤️
@@nokiauser9561 thank you! I hope you get to visit NYC sometime
JUSTICE FOR PAUL NGUYEN!
It was so much fun hanging out with you, and I'm happy I got to share with you why I love Medellin and Colombia so much. 😀
You are a fabulous tour guide!
I was one of David's early on subs, found Alina's channel thru Retired Working for You and now seeing the both of you on an adventure together made me smile. 🙂
Hey friend , I saw one of your videos.
where you said that colombian cooking only has salt when you went back to mexico and compared flavors..try to go to the pacific portion like buena ventura or even cali where you have a stronger African cuisine...medellin or other central colombian cities are poked fun by other areas for not having good cooking.
I went to mexico back in january and didn't see what you are talking about in terms of flavors. Not trying to hate just give other areas a try instead of medellin or bogota like most foreigners do.
The pacific or even the south west cauca valley doesn't get as much exposure!
Great work David. 👏
I was just in Medellin. When I left at 3 am to the airport, I wish I would have had stopped and taken some photos of the city with it's lights. Just gorgeous!
My grandmother was from Medellín, but I grew up in America. I went to Medellín for the first time in February 2020, right before the world turned upside down due to covid. I had the time of my life there. I can't wait to go back.
Hello, I was born and live in Medellín. You have an interesting story, please, tell us more.
Hellooooo! Medellin is in América, not in Europe, what América are you from🤔
Medellin is in Colombia, Colombia is in America , the Whole Continent is America. I suggest Unite States to refer to the country
@@amav7817 exactly!
Hahaha I didn't know medellin is in a different continent.... you get to learn new things every day 😅😄
This was a lovely video! I really think it was good you were in company with someone who spoke English natively and still was sort of a local of the city. Hope you keep enjoying your stay and leave that bad experience behind. Greetings from Norway
The best lessons you took away from Santa Marta stayed with you and this is a cool video of Medellin that I throughly enjoyed! When you take the right precautions, you can have fun in a place you don’t know well. Granted Medellin had quite a reputation you mentioned a couple of decades ago was a violent place and today its come of age as an attractive, vibrant and welcoming city. It took awhile to make this video and we can all agree it was worth the wait and we look forward to more in your future travels. Thanks for showing us more of what Colombia has to offer!
Thank you very much!
Colombia is an amazing country.. it is why i call it home:)
I think it's incredible that you decided to continue your journey in Colombia. You’ve become one of my favorite RUclipsrs. Interesting locations and itineraries, hope you were able to take the time to heal.
Thank you! I'm enjoying myself, but the healing is still a work in progress.
It's Colombia. No Columbia 😉
@@adrianbeanco ah damn I knew that, applying to grad school there so autocorrect!
@@someoneinaustralia7024 thank you
Lol she left Colombia already all this videos she made are recorded before the attack
You’re very bold to continue exploring Colombia. Good for you! I love and miss Medellin. Had the pleasure of lodging in the Envigado neighborhood, gorgeous up in the mountain. Keep enjoying Colombia amiga!
Gracias!
Alina you were two blocks away from my house in Envigado , I’m really glad that you enjoyed your time here in my neighborhood and in Medellin , thanks for showing the transformation of the city from a very dangerous place many years ago to a friendly and socially inclusive city , we still have a lot of work to do in the city and in Colombia in general but hope and pray for Colombia to be that great , safe and inclusive country that we all dreams of 🙏, big hug
😁😁😁
I'm from Medellín and it's good to see how foreigners understand, feel and think about my city. Hope you've had a great time in Colombia and come back in the future.
So glad to see you both ! I've been following Life with David for a few years !
Excellent video Alina! Both of the tours appeared to be really good. What a vibrant and colorful city. The people there must be so proud of what they have helped to transform. Again thank you so much for this!
My pleasure!
Holy macaroni it's Life With David. Awesome 😎 that you guys did a collaboration. Envigado is my favorite and I'm living here. It's the best municipality (township) to live in in all of Colombia but don't believe me. Just come and see for yourselves. Byeeeeeeeeeee
Great job as always!
Colombia very Nice❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amazing video Alina, as usual.This city has really a lot to offer: history, awesome panoramas, great climatic conditions, nice people and the food must be truly tasty. Colombia is a country where modernity and history coexist. Thank you very much for this awesome video
Alina you no longer live in Canada. You are a Canadian based citizen of the planet. Since most years you spend far more time out of Canada, than here. But you always touch base every year or two at most. Enjoyable video showing much of the flavor of the city. Continue enjoying your travels and having adventures. Thanks for giving us a chance to see what you discover.
The food looks so good! Loved seeing the city. It inspires me to work on my Spanish.
glad to see you are back doing what you enjoy doing. always move forward even though it seems like you are stopping. remember a stop is your time to think, rest and get your bearings to keep moving :)
Great video! And thanks for the recommendation the Comuna 13 tour. I followed your advice and we really enjoyed it!
Yes, very nice that you continue your trip and try to meet local people, the best guides. And also for safety. Buen viaje
Congrats on 150K you reserve it. Loving the music choices lately
Thank you very much :)
Alina, it was very nice video. Street dancing, street art and many little shops and restaurants. Colombia is definitely trying to change the past reputation. I am glad that you feel safer and continue your fantastic journey.
Thank you and good luck.
Excellent timing. I just arrived in Medellin today. I am also a subscriber to Life with David.
Hope you have a great time!
We are so glad that you had a nice experience in our city. I have been following your channel for a while because, unlike many RUclipsrs, you have a charisma, a special touch that makes us feel part of you on these trips in your videos. Keep it up, you are a very special person and I admire you, I am happy to follow you on your adventures. A big hug
Thank you very much
Thank you so much for your amazing video. And what a nice description of Medellin. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
Alina, beautiful video that´s the reason that I say this channel is the best of its kind, showing interesting things and places, God bless you, beautiful lady
Harriet and I have been to Medellin. Alina you hit all the right notes in this video😍😍 Took us to some memorable places. We did tours with local guides ,food and history etc. Alina , you seemed much more relaxed using tour guides to help navigate what you where looking at, as well as provide security for you. Don't ever lose that smile and fun in what you're doing😍😍 We love
you for who you are and what you do,. Harriet and I are along this journey with you.💖💖 Be Well. Be Safe. Stay Healthy.🙌🙌 Jim and Harriet
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it as well :)
Now THAT's the Alina we've come to know and enjoy! So glad you connected with David. Have been following him for quite some time. He can't have been back from Panama for very long as I just watched one of his most recent vlogs from there! Some great tips on how to enjoy the place with tours, given one might have some trepidation with not knowing Spanish. We did exactly the same in Santiago Chile, Montevideo Uruguay and Mexico City. There seems to be no shortage of enterprising mostly young people in these cities who know English and who make their living giving tours to gringos like us. Well done!
You look good now, so we know you are healing great, I know it will take a while but you found another great place to share and keep your smile. Thank you for the tour guy you had, he did you very well and showed a lot of patience to make sure you had all your questions answered. Great scenery in a large city, happy to see out and about, you will be fine, Alina...just keep your spirits high and enjoy every step of your journey. I have to say that Rosetta Stone was a great place to learn myself when I changed cultures last year. OMG, it seems like I just got here, amazing how fast the time has passed, and Alona is a great teacher of languages, and also a fast learner in English. The year has been a magic adventure for you and I at the same time, but I wouldn't change a thing. Keep smiling, you are always on top in anything. Stay safe and onward you go!! Cheers!!! Oh yeah, and keep that award winning smile of yours. 💗🏆
Thanks, Michael! Glad you're enjoying RS and your time in Ukraine!
Alina !! Bienvenida siempre a Medellín ,👍🏾 🇨🇴
I'm glad you enjoyed my hometown, you are welcome wherever you want. 😊
Thank you!
Glad you are in Medellin! Have heard a lot about it, but great to see through your eyes!
You are fabulous Alina, thanks for being in this country, wish you spend a nice and long stay here in Colombia, you are one of ours....
Thank you ❤️
Lovely video, beautiful place and tour! Spanish is such a beautiful sounding language as well as Portuguese. Enjoy the rest of your time there :)
Hi Alina! Another enjoyable, colorful, and vibrant video! I feel spoiled by your consistent standard of excellence - all of your touring videos are of high quality! Thanks for this lovely introduction to the ‘City of Eternal Spring’ - Medellín. It’s also nice to meet David. Alina, I’m happy to see your resilience!!!
Local tours always beat the more commercial companies - real life experiences count and off the beaten track places well worth it. Enjoyable vid!
Nice video. I spent a week in Medellin in 2019 and did not see everything but hit most of it. The best day for me was going to Guatapè and El Peñol. The rock there is a very popular place that has great views of the area. I flew my drone there too. Also there is some history about the town of El Peñol and how the town had to move because of the reservoir. Comuna 13 that you briefly showed is also a must there. Good luck on your trip to Brazil.
Good job Alina and with David a good guide, thank you.👍❤️🇨🇦
Amazing video as always. Thank you for sharing this incredible experience Alina!
Smart, great fun to be around, big heart, relatable, gorgeous and classy. Love you Alina. You are the best. So great to explore so many beautiful countries through your channel.
Perfect lighting made this incredibly sharp video achievable, really wonderful upload......good work dear!!!!
Great to see you back to your happy & upbeat self again after your recent set backs. Onwards & upwards Alina! 😘
Exceptional content as always my friend...very informative and fun at the same time. Stay safe and stay blessed...Legend!🤘⚡
Thank you, Mike!
@@AlinaMcleod 🙏
I really enjoyed it. Want to see Medellin continue to prosper .
ALINA, 👏 *¡congratulations!* You just hit 150,000 subscribers.
Wow! Loved the vid! Well done, you, for pushing on! Simply superb content! Do know that you do the world a massive service. Cheers, luv!
My girl is back.........yehhhhhh...you are my inspiración today, I was waiting for your video I left Colombia 14 year ago, left the country in a personal mess, on medication for panic attacks I'm now Irish and I am living through you the beautiful country I was to afraid to explore, your strength through those difficult times with your incidents are uplifting I can see a more mature woman after all that.
TAKE CARE big hug when ever you come to Ireland my wife and I would be delighted to be your hosts .
Keep it up you girl and let nothing to stop you from enjoying life.
Alina, welcome to my city I am very happy with your visit, I hope you enjoy it a lot.
fun fact. 😊
Did you know that MEDELLIN was the first city on the planet to implement cable cars as a means of public transportation within a city? Throughout the world cable cars had always been used for tourist sites, but never as public transport within a city, the first Medellin metrocable was inaugurated in 2004 and it was such an innovative and successful idea that the city currently has 6 metrocables, This system had such an impact on the city that it helped reduce crime rates where they were built. This system is so revolutionary that it has already been successfully implemented and replicated in many cities in Colombia and the world, such as: RIO DE JANEIRO, CDMX. , SANTO DOMINGO, CARACAS, LA PAZ, BOGOTA, CALI, PEREIRA, MANIZALES etc.
Did you know that more than 20 foreign tourists have died in Medellin during 2021 and 2022 due to drugs consumption?
almost all from:
USA
Republica Dominicana
The UK
Spain
Eslovenia
Puerto Rico
Canada
Fun fact too?
That was so cool that you hooked up with David, I also follow him. That was an awesome video, so colorful. Cant wait to see your next video. 😁👏👏👏
I am impressed you said "chicharron" just like a Latino. Not bad for a Canadian girl, Aye? Great video, thank you!
Aliiii!!! Thank you so much for this amazing video 💛💛💙❤️ I'm so happy you had a chance to visit Medellin and all other cities in Colombia. Stay safe 🥰🥰
My pleasure :)
Nice video and loved that you had David!
Thank you Alina for had been in my beautiful native city Medellín, Colombia. Welcome any time
Oh cool. New video. I am very excite😁
The collab I was not expecting! Love David’s content.
Quien sea que edite los videos, muchas felicidades, es de admirar tu edición muy muy profesional, resulta relajante ver tus videos.
A city with such a melodic name, that sounds like wind chimes for my ears, deserves to have coffee become the most addictive substance that could be found there. I hope the wind of positive changes will continue. Great video, thank You and everyone who helped in the process of creating it.
P.S.: It's interesting that with all the sympathy of Fernando Botero to cats, You managed to find the 'Perro' ("male dog" in Spanish) created in significant year for Medellin.
You are looking a lot better now and it doesn't hurt to have a cute guide to keep things safe! 😁 I think this might be one of the better instalments so far!
So glad to hear from you lovely! Hope you’re doing well ❤️
I’m very happy you decided to continue your Colombia trip. I wish you all the best
Thank you!
You should also visit Laureles District where you can find good restaurants and nice parks.
Also, you will enjoy near towns like Guatapé and Santa Fe de Antioquia.
And don't miss party at El Poblado at nights, It Will be awesome!
Great stuff Alina. Thanks for sharing.
amazing video, the city is beautiful, nice to visit... another great video. thanks for sharing..
Fantastic video! Definitely your best one from Colombia. Absolutely in love with the vibe of Medellin, and was inspired by the Comuna 13 transformation. Take care and stay happy :)
Ps: Music was totally on point here 👌🏼
Very happy to hear that 😁
Great video Alina. Thx for the info.
Me alegra ver que viniste a medellin, and you are learning the language, Colombia its one of the best places for learning spanish cause its a neutral version of the language offcourse we have slang but less than others countries of LA. Greetings, blessings and come back soon.
Jajaja no diga mentiras, eso es lo que la gente allá cree pero gente de otros paises de habla hispana notan acentos bastante marcados como el de los paisas. Eso de que hablamos neutro es pura mentira y que hay mucho mal hablado inculto eso si que es verdad
Es debatible, por supuesto todos tenemos acento y en todas partes hay jerga de la calle en Colombia ya tendríamos que hablar de regiones donde se habla mas neutro el español y pues en la diversidad que nos encontramos con Bogotá y la región cundiboyacense como tal vez la región donde se habla mas neutro eso si sin entrar en regionalismos.
Хорошее видео. Недалеко от Медельина есть интересный городок Гуатапе с живописным озером, виллами, необычной скалой, можно съездить туда
Are you currently in Colombia?
@@LeonardoRUclips8 yes
@@Andrelmorales5665 you’re not the original poster.
5:06 Don't say _"me llamo es Alina",_ just say *_"me llamo Alina"._*
The _"es"_ in that sentence is incorrect and it sounds as if you were saying in English _"I am named is Alina"_ instead of _"I am named Alina"_ so you can get an idea of why that _"es"_ is unnecessary and a grammar mistake.
Another way to introduce yourself in Spanish is simply to say *_"Mi nombre es Alina"_* which is the literal translation of _"My name is Alina"_ and it also sounds as natural as _"Me llamo Alina"._
Hi Alina! Thank you for the video it was amazing walk
The history behind Comuna 13 is so interesting. Really enjoyed this video!
Appreciated hearing and seeing you ! Thinking that your self coach with in you ,has stepped up the program !.Be well wishes !
Cool! I was in Medellin for Christmas 2020. Took that same tour with real city tours. They were very good. They also had some great food recommendations along the way. Colombia in general was not what I expected. The country gets a bad reputation. Thanks for sharing that with your audience 🇨🇴!
I watched David’s several videos, he is super cool. This is a good collaboration.
Awesome video, I was in Medellin a few months ago and it's a wonderful city, can't wait to travel back again!
I really liked this one! I like both your channels so seeing you guys interact was cool!
I love this video! And I 100% agree that Medellin, Columbia is one of the best places to travel! We love the culture, food, people, and energy!
We subscribed to your channel and look forward to the next video!
Hola Alina, me agrada verte, and thank you for sharing Medellin, a beautiful city.
മെഡിലിനിൽ എത്തണം എന്നത് എന്റെ ഒരു മോഹമാണ് ഒരിക്കൽ അവിടെ എത്തുക തന്നെ ചെയ്യും 🏁
Very well done Alina, you've not only become one of my favourite RUclipsrs, you've become one of my favorite Canadians! My husband and I are currently applying for Temporary Residency for Mexico and will be leaving Vancouver for Mexico in March. We're going to check out El Zonte in El Salvador as well, since we're Bitcoin maximalists. Thanks for being so authentically raw and inspiring us elders to follow our dreams!...🙏♥️
Aw that’s so sweet of you to say ❤️ thank you and happy travels!
Comuna 13 is an incredible place filled with history, determine and positive change and growth. Definitely worth the guided tour.
It's the best video about Medellin I've ever watched, thank you so much Alina
Thank you!
Great video! Thank you. Medellin really does seem like a colorful place.
Absolutely loved the look and vibe of this place also how your vids are always so informative...thanks Alina ❤
Thank you :)
Happy Lunar New Year, Alina!🎉🎉

My pleasure!
Thank you, David, at least someone mentioned the amazing sculptures of Fernando Botero, which so much characterizes the genius of Colombia's art and the beauty of Medellin.
Great video Alina, I see that you are in good spirit, keep it this way! Also I see that RUclips finally encodes your video with the better codec vp09 and the result is great quality and less grainy textures. Regards from cold Toronto.
Alina, Itchy Boots was just in Medellin a few days ago I think. Were you two able to meet up? She's now in Panama. Stay safe, safe travels.
This vid broadened my understanding of Medellin community risks and rewards. I'm thinking of retiring there soon. Gracias pretty lady.
Best of luck!
Saludos desde Ottawa, Paisana! 🇨🇦
Es cierto Medellín, es lo mejor ciudad en Colombia Y definitivamente uno de los mejores en las Americas!
Otra ideas por videos de Sur America.
Buenos Aires, Quito Y Santiago!
definitely looking forward to checking out Colombia! Have started learning Spanish a bit too. Gracias por el video, saludos desde canada
You keep up the good work love your videos
Great informative, and entertaining video!
This was such a fun tour .Hooking up with local guides who know unique places not frequented by hordes of tourists is such a geat idea !
Great video Alina, Thanks for visiting colombia. 🇨🇴✌️
👏👏👏 Excellent content Alina ... David knows all the best food places ... I follow him & will follow you ... Take care 🙏
Just booked my tour with Sergio! Thank you for that recommendation.
