I am colombian and discovered this channel recently, finally a channel where foreigners talk about stylelife and opportunities in the country and not about violence, drugs and whores. Love it.
@@trebordsecrch1724that is like tell germans every day about what happend in 1945 and also japan, if the country try to change that horrible image, well have to support it
I was fortunate to live in Bogotá for almost 2 years, which makes Bogotá an excellent city to live in? Its rich culture, its landscapes, its exquisite food, the kindness and hospitality of its people.
When my wife Duong and I went to Colombia in 2018 we were pleasantly surprised by the place. We were impressed with Bogota, and a number of other places. We want to go back. My father, the skeptic, went last year to Colombia and loved it. He always remembers Colombia as being cartel hell thanks to the news from the 1990s and earlier.
Many things have changed in the United States and in Colombia. The world is very different, and something tells me that there are many political and economic interests in bringing down the United States and making countries like Argentina and Colombia receive north American and european immigrants in the coming years.
North of Bogota it is the real hidden gem of the entire country and probably of latinoamérica as well the greenery the people the elegance the culture,classical music concerts ,lots of live theatre,as well of stand up comedy very european the breathtaking scenery in the mountains and something that nobody mention ,the small-towns surrounding the city Andrew you have a lot to tell us about in future vids Great work Thanks
@@nomadcapitalist *Andrew, I recommend You to visit BUCARAMANGA CITY (the beautifull city of Colombia) is safer and more secure than Bogotá and has that modern and sofisticated life style You like. You should record/film there to show your suscribers how wonderfull Bucaramanga is.*
It's great see someone who is not interested in this superficial things. Currently, Colombia is really full of foreigners, mainly from USA searching this kind of "entertainment", and it's really sad if you ask. Thanks, btw
I moved from the USA to Colombia. I live in Bogota. No complains except the horrible traffic. The northern part of Bogota is amazing. Medellín also feels distinguished without being extremely arrogant like New York. I think this is a country trying to be a big change. The weather is great, the nature, the food, with good decent money you definitely can live like a king. Bogotá has some amazing malls, better than most of the USA, it has a European vibe, also the latin vibe. I live also in the northern side outside of Bogota. A bit cold but amazingly calm and gorgeous
As a Bogotano, it's true the chaos in traffic and the public transport. But I miss the cold weather and the good places to hangout and enjoy since I left the city a year ago.
@@kam3820 I think with 3000 USD a month you live well. With 5-6 k USD a month you can afford a great lifestyle. Anything above 7k a month you pretty much live like the elite ... You can afford top level housing a nice German car, enough to get great bilingual schools for children, dine at great restaurants, travel, you can even afford a maid and more...
No se lo que dijo en el video, pero ver un extragero haciendo este tipo de video donde habla de su experiencia supongo segun los comentarios, me garada. Espero siempre pueda venir a este pais hermoso, tenemos una divercidad de cosas a nivel mundial sobretodo naturaleza que para mi es ORO 😊🏞️
I split my time between Canada and Bogota with my Colombian wife and concur with a lot of what you say about this beautiful city. Great to see some familiar places!
Andrew is sometimes so unintentionally lowkey hilarious like that lmao and also when he does his impressions of people and especially Trump, it cracks me up every time
Wow! What an elevated channel! Thank you for choosing Colombia as your home and for showcasing it so beautifully to the world. (I’m a Colombian living in the US) Colombia is truly on par with other major cities globally, but what sets it apart is its unmatched warmth, the hospitality of its people, and its rich cultural offerings. The weather in Bogotá is fantastic, you can enjoy so much without breaking the bank! My brother is actually retiring in Bogotá in just a few weeks, he’s so lucky!
I absolutely love Bogotá. I’m generally a person who likes quiet beach towns, but I ended up in Bogotá accidentally and fell in love with it. It’s a very beautiful city with so many beautiful Parks and the people are kind and interesting. As a Canadian, I can’t even afford fruits and vegetables anymore but Bogota has some incredibly cheap produce! With break discount stores like D1 and Ara, you can eat like a queen here. I usually rent Airbnb‘s either in Chaparino,el Chico Norte or the Financial district which I find all really safe. The only down part about Bogotá is the weather. There really is not much sunshine, it’s not that warm, and it rains a lot. The altitude also gets to me sometimes although the altitude is not as high as in Cusco in Peru, it still bothers me. Thank you for the great video.😊
I used to rent an apartment in Chico Norte and it was 700USD a month, 70m2 2 bedrooms, all the amenities. Really good place to live. Not the most recent building but that amount is the starting point in the area and it can go really high closer to the mountain.
Wonderful video that captures the diverse amenities that Bogota can offer to those who choose to experience the city. Bogota is a top destination for luxury on a friendly budget for many. You will find private balconies and rooftop jacuzzis at boutique hotels, world-class restaurants and menus, friendly service, landscapes, and even helicopter tours, while also being an strategic business location. Thank you Andrew Henderson and Nomad Capitalist for showcasing Bogota to the world!
We love it! - We lived in Bogota for about 2 years. The only thing missing in this video is taking a stroll up a mountain like Monserrate and Quebrada la Vieja. That could have happened between 6am - 9am. 🙂
myself as an american, living in colombia for some time now, it's cool to see that all the colombians in this video speak really good english. that's not been my experience in every day interactions with locals. the colombians that have money enroll their children in English classes early. Colombia is a great country and so are it's people. great video!
Awesome 😂 Am a Cali, Colombian Borne and I grew up in The USA 🎉 Primarily, in: California, New York, Miami and Arizona. Am back in Colombia, for a bit... Am so happy of hearing above your own powerful, positive, experiences ❤🎉😊 Am practicing my Mother, tongue and making progress. 😂 Yes, it does get me frustrated at time's and specially with many hotels and restaurants; am hoping that people will take more interests in learning, English as it's the Universal language to conduct a serious, growth in business, worldwide. I tried German 😅 Most Colombians, who will pickup another language, will choose ; Italian and French; while both are lovely languages. However, their uses are limited outside of their own, respective countries. English and Spanish, will provide you, with a great time 😅❤🎉 Cheers to You and yours. 🙏🥳🥰🤩🎯🙏
A few months ago a video went viral in which a foreigner ordered his food in English and the waitress did not understand him. The foreigner's Colombian girlfriend tried to mediate and translate into Spanish, but the foreigner interrupted her girlfriend and told her, "She has to learn." A Colombian who overheard the conversation interrupted and said, "She doesn't need to learn English, you need to learn Spanish." This sparked a debate on social media. The massive arrival of foreigners, and especially this type of attitude, has made Colombians more apprehensive and intolerant towards foreigners. A piece of advice: many of you want to leave "America", but "America" must also come out of you, from your being. It makes no sense to leave America to be America somewhere else. especially need to abandon this "gringo perspective" that you may not be aware of and that you mean no harm, but that is annoying and sometimes even disrespectful. This is compassionate advice to avoid a similar or undesirable situation. I hope you enjoy and get involved with the culture
I love Bogotá, the weather, the vibe, the food but I am biased, I am Bogotá, born and raised. Eventhough I no longer live in Colombia, I enjoy visiting three or four times per year. I do believe though that if you are from the US, have a good income but are struggling with US costs of living, do consider a city like Bogotá. In a nutshell it offers the delights of a cosmopolitan city for bargain.
I love Bogota. So green but without the uncomfortable heat of South East Asia or Dubai.The architecture is more elegant. I think most people will find colombians more fun and outgoing as well. It is a very family oriented but very progressive as well on social issues, so no problems for women, sexual minorities etc like in other parts of the world. And I think there are lots of hot men and women hahaa, which is always a big plus for many.
@@Radio280 You can get a great house in neighborhoods like Mandalay, chapinero, candelaria, colonia and there are many more. You just have to look around to see what you like best.
@@nomadcapitalistis it safe? Relatively speaking. I see a lot of “passport bros” getting drugged down there. Are tourist in general being targeted or is that primarily men looking for “working girls”?
Oh yes, Bogota is DEFINITELY a dog culture. I noticed this distinctive difference between Peru and Colombia: in peru, cats are more revered almost always living indoors while dogs live on the streets. But that is not the case in Bogota. I love Chico its my home away from New Jersey ❤️ Bosque de Maria, a little north of Chico in Usaquen, is another unknown gem. Lovely people
I was in Bogota last YR and was impressed by the public transit and the city being pedestrian friendly. The food was great and the malls had top notch clothing at reasonable prices. My sisters who love to shop want to go back!
How can anyone be impressed by the public transport or any kind of transport in Bogota. It was the worst transport infrastructure I have ever seen in my life.
@@jannishoppe5221 Because foreigners who have traveled around the world have a reference point to compare and realize many things that locals take for granted.
Now _this_ is what I'm talking about. Very nice Andrew; do more of this. It's a welcome break from the in-studio complaining about what this country or that country is doing, or from just using words to talk about how to live a "Nomad Capitalist lifestyle"; this _shows_ how to live one. Or at least, shows what one could look like.
As the taylor said: Bogota is a formal city... old bogotanos used to dressed like in London -due to the weather, pretty rainy like old London- and really appreciated and valued the English cloth and fabrics. My bogotano granddadd was a high-end taylor and was always elegant dressed even on sundays... maybe that´s the reason why "cachaco" is a way to called bogotanos, because they they wore shirts (CAmisa), vests (CHAleco) and ties (COrbata).
Thank you for this video with a positive view of Bogotá. Colombia is one of those countries where people make an effort to make you feel at home. In Bogotá, you can enjoy all the advantages that a great first world city has to offer with a vibrant lifestyle that, in my opinion, is somewhat European. Once again, thank you for all this positive information about the city.
@@Frivals Yes, it is necessary to know how to live in Colombia as well as in many other countries, especially in big cities. It requires developing certain habits, certain attitudes that Americans may lack of. In Bogotá, he lives in a high socioeconomic level where these types of precautions are not unusual. Having a driver who is also a bodyguard is not uncommon. Private security companies are very common in buildings, malls, etc. They are seen everywhere. One cannot simply buy a convertible BMW, show off your expensive Rolex and iPhone, and think that nothing will happen. It doesn't work that way in Colombia and many other parts of the world.
theres physical poverty and theres mental poverty, unfortunately mental poverty in the form of envy, resentfulness and hate used to be the norm in the country, luckily in the last years you can see more and more people breaking the chains and focusing on building their own path instead of waiting for someone or the goverment to come and fix their problems
@@ivanm.bricenop.5576 and where do you take that 95% of Bogotas population dont have enough to eat? Do a bit of research only 3% of the cities population live in "pobreza multidimensional) (IPM). And this is exactly what I was refering to earlier, some people repeat the same old left wing party narratives, they dont bother to do their own research to validate their assumptions. Bogota isnt obviously a rich city, where wealth is fairly distributed but more attention needs to be directed on its potential rather than on its flaws
Thank you Andrew for promoting our city, sure we have a lot of challenges to solve in terms of infrastructure and security, but Bogotá has always been a place of opportunities for Colombians hopefully more people like you decide to come here to exchange knowledge and experiences.
I love my Bogotá. Went to New York twice and when I come back I am more impressed with Bogotá and how clean it is. It has everything and people is nice.
I was born in Colombia 🇨🇴 and raised half time there and New York. I couldn’t wait until school was over in the USA 🇺🇸 so that I could go back to Bogota and party with my friends! The vibe there is awesome!!!
@danielalfonsoramos3349 if one makes memories and enjoys their youth, it is never a waste. You can always make more money, you can always open an LLC. You only have one youth
@@danielalfonsoramos3349 I disagree. That's precisely why Colombia is known for being a happy country. USA is boring because everything is work. The most important things in life are not about money, but about relationships, either family, friends or colleagues.
I brought a house in Brooklyn New York in 1995 for 260k when I was 20 years old I sold it two years ago for 1,200,000 at 50 years old and retired in Colombia. I live like a king here with a 2000$ dollar a month budget. I rent a Miami style brand new high rise condo for 300$ a month. Life in new York city wasn't fun anymore the average American male no matter what age no matter how rich or how poor lives like a castrated caged animal. Dating was so difficult in the USA. These days dating feels normal again life in general as a human being seems normal again. The best thing I've ever done is retire in Colombia. 💯💯💯💯💯
Never had any interest in going to Bogota until this video where you got out of your apartment and showed us the city. So good. Keep doing these types of videos!
Absolutely love this content! It's refreshing to see Bogotá showcased as a classic, sophisticated city instead of the usual negative stereotypes. After watching this, I'm genuinely considering living in Bogotá. Thank you!
I really enjoy practicing my English with this overview such a snob and respectful about my city. This is definitely a different view of here. Thank you for sharing which UK and Colombia have in common.
I would only suggest staying around the "Centro Internacional" area which is strategically located in between the airport, the center and the north part of city where this video takes place. Plenty of good Airbnb offers in the buildings around there.
Bogotá is a beautiful city, you can find everything, in addition, it is a city for all types of budgets, with the dollars of a middle class family in the USA you can live like a king in Bogotá. 🇨🇴👏
I have dual Citizenship Colombia 🇨🇴/ Spain🇪🇸, and this guy is spot on. You really can live like a king 👑 in Colombia. I work from Colombia for British and American companies, and the contrast in the cost of living is very noticeable, you can live very comfortably if you have an income above Usd $43k a year. Yes, it's true that the GINI index is 51.5, which makes it an upper middle-income economy so although you have the typical inequality you see in Latin America, Colombia does have the most stable democracy in the region and Bogota is more or less on par with most of what you'd find abroad in terms of gastronomy, entertainment, shops, culture, etc
In your view, which one do you prefer - Mexico City(Or other major cities in Mexico) or Bogota? What do you like about Bogota that other major Mexican cities don't have?
I’m loving this new video format. So immersive and really gives the vibe of a city. I am ready to start living abroad again in the next couple years and have been researching. Perhaps Colombia can be part of my new trifecta. Thanks.
Don't forget the driver, the cleaning lady (live in if you have young kids), nannies. It's a great place to raise a family. Most places have gate people or are in gated communities.
@@joannabusinessaccount7293 you need to calm down. I live in a neighborhood where I'm the only non-colombian and most everyone with kids has nannies, cleaning ladies and/or cooks, we have gardeners in the neighborhood too. I don't know where you're from, but it is a norm to have nannies, cooks and cleaning ladies (Empleadas), way before gringos started rolling into Colombia in packs. If you're on a finca, it is common to have a family or two who live on the property and take care of it, animals, and gardens. And, also, long, long history of this before gringos discovered Colombia.
@@joannabusinessaccount7293 also, your ignorance is showing. Most of the people that have those jobs are often coming from neighborhoods where they don't have other opportunities and were taken advantage of local community. My empleada only did cleaning once a week. She used to work at a flower farm. She earned minimum wage. When her son got sick, she was fired because she had to take care of him and it was hard for her to go to the flower far regularly.. When she worked for me, she could bring her son, she worked less hours and earned double, and could have more time with her son. We also helped her find more jobs like that and it helped her save money and get a better apartment. We gave her everything that we would be getting rid of so she was able to get stuff she could use and either sell or give away things to family or the church. We had old baby things that benefited her neighbor, a single mom. She was very sad when we had to move about 45 minutes away and let her go, and she said that she would even go 45 minutes each way to come work for us. We made sure she filled her times with good people to upkeep her income. So kindly, do think before you type.
@@joannabusinessaccount7293 haha. You lack self awareness don't you? You seem to think you're the only one that's right and when people spit facts at you, you "touched their nerves". Sorry girl, we're not all as unsecured as you or as sensitive and insensible. Please go bark up another tree.
@@joannabusinessaccount7293It feels rather odd that you don’t realize how every country that is now rich and developed has had to undergo phases of low-skilled intense-hours labor with low wages, in order to accumulate the capital needed which in turns allows to increase productivity, wages, cut down on working hours, and enjoy a higher standard of living. Such has been the case in the US, Canada, Europe, Japan, more recently in Taiwan, Singapore, China, etc. why would you frown upon one of the natural phases of a country wanting to reach progress and wealth? How else do you suggest a society to accumulate the capital required to raise living standards? By sleeping? By accumulating monopolistic regulations that make employment impossible or a luxury for a reduced number of workers?
First went to Colombia for dental tourism and fell in love with the country. The dentist was educated in the US and charged pennies on the dollar. The facilities were top notch - better than most US clinics. Now, I forsake the dental insurance and make a trip to Colombia every year. Dental insurance in the US, after all, doesn't really cover that much. To give some idea on the differences in services between the US + Colombia: I had 2 root canals and was charged $240 with the exchange rate of 6 years-ago. The work was done the same day it was diagnosed.
I agree with you. I am Colombian and go in vacation with my husband ones a year we always take a chance a go to the dentist. Here they always charging you a crown around 1500 dollars even if you don't need it. I keep my insurance here in case I need some work done.
@@majo9042 I was amazed that the comprehensive dental x-rays were done within 40 minutes of showing up at the lab, at a cost of less than $40 USD. I don't know if I would go for open-heart surgery, or something life threatening, but I'm all for the dental work or something cosmetic.
Heart surgery no worries my brother got one and he was walking the very next day.. open heart surgery you can find top notch surgeons.@@PMSTACKER3000
Just went to get some work done by my odontologist, ( suffer fron Bruxism) 4 root canals, 10 porcelain crowns, paid $4,500 dls. with that same money could pay for 1 crown on US, very happy with my smile!
This was a fantastic way to introduce Bogota! Part Rick Steves, part Anthony Bourdain (RIP), and all Nomad Capitalist! Now I have another country to check out.
Been watching for years - this video was exceptional. Truly authentic. Let your perspective and personality really come to life. Illustrative of walking the talk and living the dream! Keep this cameraman around!!
Amazing presentation about the life in Bogota Colombia, thank you so much for sharing the video. I'm from Colombia but I live here in Virginia Beach, and I was in Bogota 20 years ago. OMG I remember to visit the Shopping Center Mall Andino, absolutely beautiful 😍 as you can see, Bogota is very elegant with a Spanish accent different from other countries that's mean beautiful 😍. So glad to see you are living in the city classic! Bogota Colombia 🇨🇴 ❤
What a nice video, makes me feel proud of my city, after 23 years living in Miami, i am very happy to return to Bogota, now i appreciate more things like the nice weather and the fantastic food, there are a ton of nice bars and restaurants in the city and the surroundings in the savanna, also many concerts and trade shows events, Bogota like the big cities ot has problems, but overall is really nice, is a mix between a latin and a european citiy, is very cosmopolitan.
Yes, Manizales is a nice moutain coffee town. Plenty of well-to-do Colombians prefer the warm sunny spring weather of Medillin to the cool rainy spring weather of Bogota, so there's that. I've always enjoyed Colombia since first visiting in the 1980's. I have no bad vibe about living in Colombia.
Just found this channel and really liked it. I'm a rolo in the US, but I love Bogota and it's great to see a channel that shows a different face of my city.
More videos like this. It really inspires me to visit. I'll be using your services someday, Mr. Henderson. I got 4 rental properties, 11 units, and I want to break out of Communist Canada.
Its great to see this kind of videos , that’s what i like to see changing the narrative about our country. Colombia has so much to offer and the lifestyle is amazing. Obviously we shouldn’t be blind about the social problems that we still have but this is a side of Colombia that is not shown often and is something that if you have the resources can perfectly enjoy in a country that can blend luxury living and great culture.
Thank you, we are glad you enjoyed watching! Catch up on other Live Like a King episodes here: th-cam.com/play/PLlVUJeLNo-5JJa5WeACi971KaILjinYDw.html&si=8jVkoD7F92u_YwC5
The detailed tour and insightful commentary really highlight the beauty and elegance of the area. Great job capturing the essence of upscale living in Bogota, Colombia!
I am Colombian but when I do the numbers things do not add up. Living in a secondary city in Portugal or Spain costs about the same. I would add safer, better infrastructure, less corruption, better public services, less currency exposure, less expensive healthcare and similar taxes.
Where do you live? Im Romanian but my daughter is half Colombian as well, currently living with her mom in Minca, country side by choice since we do homeschooling and me and her mom separated. I’m in the UK at the moment. I’m very close to move most of my earnings to come from online so I was debating spending my life between Colombia, Romania and also set Home in Spain as a middle point?
I live in Mexico for work reasons but close to retirement and debating if I should go back to Colmbia. I also hold Spanish citizenship. The only reason I am considering to go back are my aging parents. Once they are gone most likely I will be out of there. Colombia does not make sense from a safety, cost, nor tax point of view. There is also too much currency exposure and legal & economic uncertainty with the current government. It is certainly an option for those who do not have access to Southern Europe but in your case and mine, not to be considered for permanent residence.
@@RicardoGonzalez-lo5ur Thank you for getting back to me. My mom is also getting old back home, my sister is in Germany with her family, my ex in laws in NY and my daughter in Colombia, as mentioned earlier. I realised there s no perfect place in the world, I do love Colombia as my home country Romania but I don’t think I want to be in any of them for the whole year around. We shall see. Wishing you best of luck in your endeavour. Did you grow up near or in Barranquilla by any chance?
@@RicardoGonzalez-lo5urI am a Colombian too living in the UK but, unlike you, I can't wait to go back home. The current government is doing great although government revenue is running rather low at the moment. About Bogotá and the cost of middle cities in Portugal or Spain, you can't compare them like for like. If you can afford the lifestyle shown in this video in Bogotá, then go and have it in Madrid, Lisbon or Barcelona and we are talking, you would have to multiply your costs by at least two.
Colombia is the best country to live and invest in real estate but it is not a good country to create a company because of the taxes. Paying taxes per person is cheap, but per company, it is almost abusive.
A few years ago, I was spending a lot of time in Medellin, so I ended up finding an apartment- it was in the nicest area of El Poblado, right in the the center. It was a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom, w/ balcony for $600 a month. Being that I’m from NYC, it was pretty remarkable.
I was born in Bogota and lived there for 30 years. This video is incomplete because it does not tell investors about Colombia being in an earthquake zone and the frequency of the tremors, also related to that the concern is the quality of the construction of the the buildings, many of them were not build with high quality standards and the authorities look the other way, because there is corruption and lots of bureaucracy. Google the news about the shortage of water in Bogota, is affecting hotels, restaurants, hospitals. The current president was part of the guerrilla groups, there is still kidnapping going on. The best of Colombia is the food and the loving people of the middle class. Rich people don’t pay taxes, there is very limited budget to invest in infrastructure. Now you have more of a complete picture. I love Colombia and am very proud of my roots, I love it with imperfections and all ❤.
@@Black-Circle also not mentioned in videos for Bogota and Mexico city: social inequality, the traffic doesn’t flow and some areas are not safe; investors deserve to know there is homework that only the owner of the $ can do.
But I don’t recall seeing news about earthquakes destroying Bogotá during the past 100 years so… 🤔 And traffic is awful in many major cities. I get what you are saying but it’s not a big issue for investors, I think.
Only the Andean region is prone to earthquakes. This is not the case for the Caribbean region. Everything else you said it's true. I own property in Cartagena, so I am familiar with the Counties geography.

Hollywood mostly portrays Latin America as underdeveloped criminal ruled places. Some is like that and some is not.

o, yes, The Narco State os gone, let´s free the Narco Estate
I split my time between Canada and Bogota with my Colombian wife and concur with a lot of what you say about this beautiful city. Great to see some familiar places!
That's awesome!
Same here but in Pereira
"Lot of people go to Panama City.. never really.. understood that" - Andrew cracks me up sometimes
A very polite way to narrate that too.
To be fair I've never understood it either. My friends were really underwhelmed with Panama, I was sort of in the middle.
Look "PANAMA PAPERS" @@JonAlexGQ
@@JonAlexGQ May be because is considered as a tax haven
Andrew is sometimes so unintentionally lowkey hilarious like that lmao and also when he does his impressions of people and especially Trump, it cracks me up every time
Wow! What an elevated channel! Thank you for choosing Colombia as your home and for showcasing it so beautifully to the world. (I’m a Colombian living in the US) Colombia is truly on par with other major cities globally, but what sets it apart is its unmatched warmth, the hospitality of its people, and its rich cultural offerings. The weather in Bogotá is fantastic, you can enjoy so much without breaking the bank! My brother is actually retiring in Bogotá in just a few weeks, he’s so lucky!
I absolutely love Bogotá. I’m generally a person who likes quiet beach towns, but I ended up in Bogotá accidentally and fell in love with it. It’s a very beautiful city with so many beautiful Parks and the people are kind and interesting. As a Canadian, I can’t even afford fruits and vegetables anymore but Bogota has some incredibly cheap produce! With break discount stores like D1 and Ara, you can eat like a queen here. I usually rent Airbnb‘s either in Chaparino,el Chico Norte or the Financial district which I find all really safe. The only down part about Bogotá is the weather. There really is not much sunshine, it’s not that warm, and it rains a lot. The altitude also gets to me sometimes although the altitude is not as high as in Cusco in Peru, it still bothers me. Thank you for the great video.😊
Kinda Seattle then? How much money 2 people need to live comfortably in the neighborhoods u mentioned?
I used to rent an apartment in Chico Norte and it was 700USD a month, 70m2 2 bedrooms, all the amenities. Really good place to live. Not the most recent building but that amount is the starting point in the area and it can go really high closer to the mountain.
Gringos Go Home
@@Radio280think you will need around 10k to live comfortably and with this kind of lifestyle
@@Radio280Entre Us5000 a 7.000 al mes, todo depende de tu espectativa de vida.
Wonderful video that captures the diverse amenities that Bogota can offer to those who choose to experience the city. Bogota is a top destination for luxury on a friendly budget for many. You will find private balconies and rooftop jacuzzis at boutique hotels, world-class restaurants and menus, friendly service, landscapes, and even helicopter tours, while also being an strategic business location. Thank you Andrew Henderson and Nomad Capitalist for showcasing Bogota to the world!
We love it! - We lived in Bogota for about 2 years. The only thing missing in this video is taking a stroll up a mountain like Monserrate and Quebrada la Vieja. That could have happened between 6am - 9am. 🙂
myself as an american, living in colombia for some time now, it's cool to see that all the colombians in this video speak really good english. that's not been my experience in every day interactions with locals. the colombians that have money enroll their children in English classes early. Colombia is a great country and so are it's people. great video!
I am the opposite, it sort of bums me out that they speak English.
Awesome 😂
Am a Cali, Colombian Borne and I grew up in The USA 🎉
Primarily, in: California, New York, Miami and Arizona. Am back in Colombia, for a bit...
Am so happy of hearing above your own powerful, positive, experiences ❤🎉😊
Am practicing my Mother, tongue and making progress. 😂
Yes, it does get me frustrated at time's and specially with many hotels and restaurants; am hoping that people will take more interests in learning, English as it's the Universal language to conduct a serious, growth in business, worldwide.
I tried German 😅
Most Colombians, who will pickup another language, will choose ; Italian and French; while both are lovely languages.
However, their uses are limited outside of their own, respective countries.
English and Spanish, will provide you, with a great time 😅❤🎉
Cheers to You and yours.
🙏🥳🥰🤩🎯🙏
@@uKaZdAb i know what you mean but don't worry, only about 4% of colombians speak English
A few months ago a video went viral in which a foreigner ordered his food in English and the waitress did not understand him. The foreigner's Colombian girlfriend tried to mediate and translate into Spanish, but the foreigner interrupted her girlfriend and told her, "She has to learn." A Colombian who overheard the conversation interrupted and said, "She doesn't need to learn English, you need to learn Spanish." This sparked a debate on social media. The massive arrival of foreigners, and especially this type of attitude, has made Colombians more apprehensive and intolerant towards foreigners. A piece of advice: many of you want to leave "America", but "America" must also come out of you, from your being. It makes no sense to leave America to be America somewhere else. especially need to abandon this "gringo perspective" that you may not be aware of and that you mean no harm, but that is annoying and sometimes even disrespectful. This is compassionate advice to avoid a similar or undesirable situation. I hope you enjoy and get involved with the culture
@@uKaZdAb facts. English language is ugly
I love Bogotá, the weather, the vibe, the food but I am biased, I am Bogotá, born and raised. Eventhough I no longer live in Colombia, I enjoy visiting three or four times per year. I do believe though that if you are from the US, have a good income but are struggling with US costs of living, do consider a city like Bogotá. In a nutshell it offers the delights of a cosmopolitan city for bargain.
good to see this kind of content. Tired of all the sexpats in medillin trying to give colombia a bad name
Thank you.
Be more tired of the sextraps that lure and operate there
Well stop whoring yourself out then. Sophisticated places like Vienna dont have that issue.
Sexpats😂 100%
Why not crack down on the prostitution from the locals? Less sex for sale = less sexpats. Are you a supply side or demand sider?
I love Bogota. So green but without the uncomfortable heat of South East Asia or Dubai.The architecture is more elegant. I think most people will find colombians more fun and outgoing as well. It is a very family oriented but very progressive as well on social issues, so no problems for women, sexual minorities etc like in other parts of the world. And I think there are lots of hot men and women hahaa, which is always a big plus for many.
Lived in Bogota for a year. You highlighted some of the best spots, but there is so much more to showcase. Also loving the new vlog style format.
Thank you. Not every venue allows us to film there.
What can one get for $117K in Bogota? And which neighborhood will u recommend?
@@Radio280, with that money you can get an apartment in a middle class neighborhood, or a very small one in a top neighborhood
@@Radio280 You can get a great house in neighborhoods like Mandalay, chapinero, candelaria, colonia and there are many more. You just have to look around to see what you like best.
@@nomadcapitalistis it safe? Relatively speaking. I see a lot of “passport bros” getting drugged down there. Are tourist in general being targeted or is that primarily men looking for “working girls”?
I'll also add. Colombians are the warmest nation I've met.
I am delighted to hear that! Come to visit again soon, there is thousands of things you haven't watched in this beatiful land ❤
Thanks, we appreciate your comment, God bless you. 🇨🇴🙏🇺🇲✌️
Oh yes, Bogota is DEFINITELY a dog culture. I noticed this distinctive difference between Peru and Colombia: in peru, cats are more revered almost always living indoors while dogs live on the streets. But that is not the case in Bogota. I love Chico its my home away from New Jersey ❤️
Bosque de Maria, a little north of Chico in Usaquen, is another unknown gem. Lovely people
You still have plenty of cat lovers here.
Should you say Bosque Medina?
I was in Bogota last YR and was impressed by the public transit and the city being pedestrian friendly. The food was great and the malls had top notch clothing at reasonable prices. My sisters who love to shop want to go back!
How can anyone be impressed by the public transport or any kind of transport in Bogota. It was the worst transport infrastructure I have ever seen in my life.
@@jannishoppe5221 Because foreigners who have traveled around the world have a reference point to compare and realize many things that locals take for granted.
Ahora estan construyendo uno de los metros mas modernos del mundo en bogotá. No te preocupes
Now _this_ is what I'm talking about. Very nice Andrew; do more of this. It's a welcome break from the in-studio complaining about what this country or that country is doing, or from just using words to talk about how to live a "Nomad Capitalist lifestyle"; this _shows_ how to live one. Or at least, shows what one could look like.
Precisely! 💯
Absolutely love this video format. More of these please.
Yes! This fitted really well with both Mr. Henderson and what I suspect many Nomad Capitalists are looking for 💯
Wow I never thought Colombia would like this it is certainly the best of both worlds, you have to give us more videos like this!
If you earn a lof of money you could enjoy this lifestyle in bogotá, bogotá is amazing having money off course
Need more vlog like this mr.Henderson 👍
Amen!!!
the taylor's english is just crazy good man, really cool, and it's evident he knows his stuff really well
He's great!
As the taylor said: Bogota is a formal city... old bogotanos used to dressed like in London -due to the weather, pretty rainy like old London- and really appreciated and valued the English cloth and fabrics. My bogotano granddadd was a high-end taylor and was always elegant dressed even on sundays... maybe that´s the reason why "cachaco" is a way to called bogotanos, because they they wore shirts (CAmisa), vests (CHAleco) and ties (COrbata).
Thank you for this video with a positive view of Bogotá. Colombia is one of those countries where people make an effort to make you feel at home. In Bogotá, you can enjoy all the advantages that a great first world city has to offer with a vibrant lifestyle that, in my opinion, is somewhat European. Once again, thank you for all this positive information about the city.
At every corner there is an armed guard
@@Frivals Yes, it is necessary to know how to live in Colombia as well as in many other countries, especially in big cities. It requires developing certain habits, certain attitudes that Americans may lack of. In Bogotá, he lives in a high socioeconomic level where these types of precautions are not unusual. Having a driver who is also a bodyguard is not uncommon. Private security companies are very common in buildings, malls, etc. They are seen everywhere. One cannot simply buy a convertible BMW, show off your expensive Rolex and iPhone, and think that nothing will happen. It doesn't work that way in Colombia and many other parts of the world.
This is the Bogotá that 95% of citizens never have lived in their lifes, only rich people attend this kind of places ...
theres physical poverty and theres mental poverty, unfortunately mental poverty in the form of envy, resentfulness and hate used to be the norm in the country, luckily in the last years you can see more and more people breaking the chains and focusing on building their own path instead of waiting for someone or the goverment to come and fix their problems
@@andresa.4297 oh yes, mental poverty when you have an empty stomach my dear... so much empathy and connection with the reality of many.
@@andresa.4297 oh yes, mental poverty when you have an empty stomach my dear... so much empathy and conection with the reality of many.
@@ivanm.bricenop.5576 and where do you take that 95% of Bogotas population dont have enough to eat? Do a bit of research only 3% of the cities population live in "pobreza multidimensional) (IPM). And this is exactly what I was refering to earlier, some people repeat the same old left wing party narratives, they dont bother to do their own research to validate their assumptions. Bogota isnt obviously a rich city, where wealth is fairly distributed but more attention needs to be directed on its potential rather than on its flaws
It says Luxury Living in Colombia. So yeah, you're right on the ball.
Thank you Andrew for promoting our city, sure we have a lot of challenges to solve in terms of infrastructure and security, but Bogotá has always been a place of opportunities for Colombians hopefully more people like you decide to come here to exchange knowledge and experiences.
Such a great shoot and an incredible city, excited for more Live Like A King videos to come!
I love my Bogotá. Went to New York twice and when I come back I am more impressed with Bogotá and how clean it is. It has everything and people is nice.
Bogota clean? What cocaine are you on?
Excellent video that depicts the flavour of the city. Do more videos like this..,
it's crazy that for foreigners think El Refugio it's cheap, even for 1% of the population that's just so expensive, unimaginable to have a 150m2+ home
In US Dollars everything is incredibly cheap in Colombia, because the Pesos are worth nothing. 2 very different perspectives
Well, well, it's bc the peso is basically worthless, at least compared to USD
I was born in Colombia 🇨🇴 and raised half time there and New York. I couldn’t wait until school was over in the USA 🇺🇸 so that I could go back to Bogota and party with my friends! The vibe there is awesome!!!
Please instead of thinking in that way make money there and open a company, business or something good don't waste your life just for vibes.
@danielalfonsoramos3349 if one makes memories and enjoys their youth, it is never a waste. You can always make more money, you can always open an LLC. You only have one youth
@@danielalfonsoramos3349 I disagree. That's precisely why Colombia is known for being a happy country. USA is boring because everything is work. The most important things in life are not about money, but about relationships, either family, friends or colleagues.
I brought a house in Brooklyn New York in 1995 for 260k when I was 20 years old I sold it two years ago for 1,200,000 at 50 years old and retired in Colombia. I live like a king here with a 2000$ dollar a month budget. I rent a Miami style brand new high rise condo for 300$ a month. Life in new York city wasn't fun anymore the average American male no matter what age no matter how rich or how poor lives like a castrated caged animal. Dating was so difficult in the USA. These days dating feels normal again life in general as a human being seems normal again. The best thing I've ever done is retire in Colombia. 💯💯💯💯💯
@@inolvidable. And that's why the wealth is in USA and not Columbia
Never had any interest in going to Bogota until this video where you got out of your apartment and showed us the city. So good. Keep doing these types of videos!
Welcome to muy country. I love so happy here.
Don't go, it's very dangerous, you'll get mugged on any corner and you can be kidnapped, don't say I didn't warn you.
@@leonardorodriguez9692Very dangerous city but this channel omits the dark realities of living in Bogota

Thank you for showing the beauty of Bogotá and Colombia ❤🇨🇴
I really enjoy practicing my English with this overview such a snob and respectful about my city. This is definitely a different view of here. Thank you for sharing which UK and Colombia have in common.
Traveled to Bogota in the 80’s and 90’s..incredible changes and real advancements.
I would only suggest staying around the "Centro Internacional" area which is strategically located in between the airport, the center and the north part of city where this video takes place. Plenty of good Airbnb offers in the buildings around there.

I love how Andrew’s place isn’t in the ritziest neighborhood even though he could afford it. Now THAT is how you get rich.
I think he likes to spread his wealth around in different countries.
Pretty sure he lives in one of the most expensive areas (Rosales or Nogal). It's definitely estrato 6
Exactly, tailor suits. Lol
Bogotá is a beautiful city, you can find everything, in addition, it is a city for all types of budgets, with the dollars of a middle class family in the USA you can live like a king in Bogotá. 🇨🇴👏
Never seen Bogota like that... really great city... great video..
Don't go, it's very dangerous, you'll get mugged on any corner and you can be kidnapped, don't say I didn't warn you.
I have dual Citizenship Colombia 🇨🇴/ Spain🇪🇸, and this guy is spot on. You really can live like a king 👑 in Colombia. I work from Colombia for British and American companies, and the contrast in the cost of living is very noticeable, you can live very comfortably if you have an income above Usd $43k a year.
Yes, it's true that the GINI index is 51.5, which makes it an upper middle-income economy so although you have the typical inequality you see in Latin America, Colombia does have the most stable democracy in the region and Bogota is more or less on par with most of what you'd find abroad in terms of gastronomy, entertainment, shops, culture, etc
I'm always looking for videos that show the local lifestyle, real estate options, this video is super interesting!
Don't go, it's very dangerous, you'll get mugged on any corner and you can be kidnapped, don't say I didn't warn you.
Local lifestyle for rich people. That is not Even the middle class

Indeed.
Have you been to Sao Paulo??

I’m loving this new video format. So immersive and really gives the vibe of a city. I am ready to start living abroad again in the next couple years and have been researching. Perhaps Colombia can be part of my new trifecta. Thanks.

Real estate, restaurant, tailor and wine bar - what more could you ask for? Bogota looks fantastic since the last time I was there.
Don't forget the driver, the cleaning lady (live in if you have young kids), nannies. It's a great place to raise a family. Most places have gate people or are in gated communities.
@@joannabusinessaccount7293 you need to calm down. I live in a neighborhood where I'm the only non-colombian and most everyone with kids has nannies, cleaning ladies and/or cooks, we have gardeners in the neighborhood too. I don't know where you're from, but it is a norm to have nannies, cooks and cleaning ladies (Empleadas), way before gringos started rolling into Colombia in packs. If you're on a finca, it is common to have a family or two who live on the property and take care of it, animals, and gardens. And, also, long, long history of this before gringos discovered Colombia.
@@joannabusinessaccount7293 also, your ignorance is showing. Most of the people that have those jobs are often coming from neighborhoods where they don't have other opportunities and were taken advantage of local community. My empleada only did cleaning once a week. She used to work at a flower farm. She earned minimum wage. When her son got sick, she was fired because she had to take care of him and it was hard for her to go to the flower far regularly.. When she worked for me, she could bring her son, she worked less hours and earned double, and could have more time with her son. We also helped her find more jobs like that and it helped her save money and get a better apartment. We gave her everything that we would be getting rid of so she was able to get stuff she could use and either sell or give away things to family or the church. We had old baby things that benefited her neighbor, a single mom. She was very sad when we had to move about 45 minutes away and let her go, and she said that she would even go 45 minutes each way to come work for us. We made sure she filled her times with good people to upkeep her income. So kindly, do think before you type.
@@joannabusinessaccount7293 haha. You lack self awareness don't you? You seem to think you're the only one that's right and when people spit facts at you, you "touched their nerves". Sorry girl, we're not all as unsecured as you or as sensitive and insensible. Please go bark up another tree.
@@joannabusinessaccount7293It feels rather odd that you don’t realize how every country that is now rich and developed has had to undergo phases of low-skilled intense-hours labor with low wages, in order to accumulate the capital needed which in turns allows to increase productivity, wages, cut down on working hours, and enjoy a higher standard of living. Such has been the case in the US, Canada, Europe, Japan, more recently in Taiwan, Singapore, China, etc. why would you frown upon one of the natural phases of a country wanting to reach progress and wealth? How else do you suggest a society to accumulate the capital required to raise living standards? By sleeping? By accumulating monopolistic regulations that make employment impossible or a luxury for a reduced number of workers?
Thank you for this wonderful video, Live Like A King series for expatriates and investors.
First went to Colombia for dental tourism and fell in love with the country. The dentist was educated in the US and charged pennies on the dollar. The facilities were top notch - better than most US clinics. Now, I forsake the dental insurance and make a trip to Colombia every year. Dental insurance in the US, after all, doesn't really cover that much. To give some idea on the differences in services between the US + Colombia: I had 2 root canals and was charged $240 with the exchange rate of 6 years-ago. The work was done the same day it was diagnosed.
I agree with you. I am Colombian and go in vacation with my husband ones a year we always take a chance a go to the dentist. Here they always charging you a crown around 1500 dollars even if you don't need it. I keep my insurance here in case I need some work done.
@@majo9042 I was amazed that the comprehensive dental x-rays were done within 40 minutes of showing up at the lab, at a cost of less than $40 USD. I don't know if I would go for open-heart surgery, or something life threatening, but I'm all for the dental work or something cosmetic.
Thanks for sharing!
Heart surgery no worries my brother got one and he was walking the very next day.. open heart surgery you can find top notch surgeons.@@PMSTACKER3000
Just went to get some work done by my odontologist, ( suffer fron Bruxism) 4 root canals, 10 porcelain crowns, paid $4,500 dls. with that same money could pay for 1 crown on US, very happy with my smile!
Que chimba de Series ! So happy to see the formal side of Bogotá.
This was a fantastic way to introduce Bogota! Part Rick Steves, part Anthony Bourdain (RIP), and all Nomad Capitalist! Now I have another country to check out.
I love my beautiful city! I am glad to see that more and more investors are coming to see the potential of the city.
Love this format!! Great job.

Love the first episode in the series. Great idea, excited to see more!
Amazing presentation about the life in Bogota Colombia, thank you so much for sharing the video. I'm from Colombia but I live here in Virginia Beach, and I was in Bogota 20 years ago. OMG I remember to visit the Shopping Center Mall Andino, absolutely beautiful 😍 as you can see, Bogota is very elegant with a Spanish accent different from other countries that's mean beautiful 😍. So glad to see you are living in the city classic! Bogota Colombia 🇨🇴 ❤
Bogotá looks amazing! Love the idea of living luxuriously on a budget. Can't wait for more episodes! 🌟
What a nice video, makes me feel proud of my city, after 23 years living in Miami, i am very happy to return to Bogota, now i appreciate more things like the nice weather and the fantastic food, there are a ton of nice bars and restaurants in the city and the surroundings in the savanna, also many concerts and trade shows events, Bogota like the big cities ot has problems, but overall is really nice, is a mix between a latin and a european citiy, is very cosmopolitan.
I enjoyed living in Colombia but I lived in Manazales. San Andreas is the real jewel, BEAUTIFUL!!! And extremely affordable
Yes, Manizales is a nice moutain coffee town. Plenty of well-to-do Colombians prefer the warm sunny spring weather of Medillin to the cool rainy spring weather of Bogota, so there's that. I've always enjoyed Colombia since first visiting in the 1980's. I have no bad vibe about living in Colombia.
You havent been living here in Manizales very long if you dont know how to spell it

Its great to see this kind of videos , that’s what i like to see changing the narrative about our country. Colombia has so much to offer and the lifestyle is amazing. Obviously we shouldn’t be blind about the social problems that we still have but this is a side of Colombia that is not shown often and is something that if you have the resources can perfectly enjoy in a country that can blend luxury living and great culture.

😂😂😂😂😂.
Colombian ex-pat here. Love your take on my city. We are trying to take down stereotypes one mind at a time. Love it!
Marquez's Colombian magical realism brought to life. Excited for more content! 🥳🥳
I am Colombian but when I do the numbers things do not add up. Living in a secondary city in Portugal or Spain costs about the same. I would add safer, better infrastructure, less corruption, better public services, less currency exposure, less expensive healthcare and similar taxes.
Where do you live? Im Romanian but my daughter is half Colombian as well, currently living with her mom in Minca, country side by choice since we do homeschooling and me and her mom separated. I’m in the UK at the moment. I’m very close to move most of my earnings to come from online so I was debating spending my life between Colombia, Romania and also set Home in Spain as a middle point?
I live in Mexico for work reasons but close to retirement and debating if I should go back to Colmbia. I also hold Spanish citizenship. The only reason I am considering to go back are my aging parents. Once they are gone most likely I will be out of there. Colombia does not make sense from a safety, cost, nor tax point of view. There is also too much currency exposure and legal & economic uncertainty with the current government. It is certainly an option for those who do not have access to Southern Europe but in your case and mine, not to be considered for permanent residence.
@@RicardoGonzalez-lo5ur Thank you for getting back to me. My mom is also getting old back home, my sister is in Germany with her family, my ex in laws in NY and my daughter in Colombia, as mentioned earlier. I realised there s no perfect place in the world, I do love Colombia as my home country Romania but I don’t think I want to be in any of them for the whole year around. We shall see. Wishing you best of luck in your endeavour. Did you grow up near or in Barranquilla by any chance?
I would never live in a EU country
@@RicardoGonzalez-lo5urI am a Colombian too living in the UK but, unlike you, I can't wait to go back home. The current government is doing great although government revenue is running rather low at the moment. About Bogotá and the cost of middle cities in Portugal or Spain, you can't compare them like for like. If you can afford the lifestyle shown in this video in Bogotá, then go and have it in Madrid, Lisbon or Barcelona and we are talking, you would have to multiply your costs by at least two.
Colombia is the best country to live and invest in real estate but it is not a good country to create a company because of the taxes. Paying taxes per person is cheap, but per company, it is almost abusive.
Colombia is on my list, thanks Andrew!
Looks amazing
Elegant presentation and informative content! Absolutely inspiring and a joy to watch 👏
Nothing like I imagined. Thanks for this tour Andrew.
A few years ago, I was spending a lot of time in Medellin, so I ended up finding an apartment- it was in the nicest area of El Poblado, right in the the center. It was a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom, w/ balcony for $600 a month. Being that I’m from NYC, it was pretty remarkable.
Probably $1200 now
Thank you for showing a true and yet a different view of my city's perspective that is never shown by most people!!
Our pleasure!
I was born in Bogota and lived there for 30 years. This video is incomplete because it does not tell investors about Colombia being in an earthquake zone and the frequency of the tremors, also related to that the concern is the quality of the construction of the the buildings, many of them were not build with high quality standards and the authorities look the other way, because there is corruption and lots of bureaucracy. Google the news about the shortage of water in Bogota, is affecting hotels, restaurants, hospitals. The current president was part of the guerrilla groups, there is still kidnapping going on. The best of Colombia is the food and the loving people of the middle class. Rich people don’t pay taxes, there is very limited budget to invest in infrastructure. Now you have more of a complete picture. I love Colombia and am very proud of my roots, I love it with imperfections and all ❤.
where you live now?
@@JimmyKal sorry, I don’t see your question is relevant, politely decline to answer…
@@Black-Circle also not mentioned in videos for Bogota and Mexico city: social inequality, the traffic doesn’t flow and some areas are not safe; investors deserve to know there is homework that only the owner of the $ can do.
But I don’t recall seeing news about earthquakes destroying Bogotá during the past 100 years so… 🤔 And traffic is awful in many major cities. I get what you are saying but it’s not a big issue for investors, I think.
Only the Andean region is prone to earthquakes. This is not the case for the Caribbean region. Everything else you said it's true. I own property in Cartagena, so I am familiar with the Counties geography.
