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
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.
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 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!
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...
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
@@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”?
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. 🙂
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.
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.
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!
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
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
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.
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 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.
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. 💯💯💯💯💯
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?
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
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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).
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. 🇨🇴👏
Bro let me tell you this is the most detail video I've ever seen for someone looking to get an apartment and move to a different country, Bogotá feels like the Latinamerican New York with European Vibes at the same time, everything in one city, locals are doing such a great job fixing all the isues from the past, economically is such a strong city, great location for travel everywhere and yep, definitely that's the place where I want to live, thank you so much.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
Excellent video portraying nice areas of the city, Canadian here really don’t know much about Colombia besides what of course we hear Very nice looking city
One of the most honest, down to earth, nicest guys I ever met stopped me while I was riding a motorized bicycle. He ended up working for me and without bragging told me that he was poor here but in Columbia, lived like a king. I still need to visit him and his family ❤ thanks for the video
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.
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.
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’m glad your tailor fixed your collar. It was bugging me. The Colombian people are some of the best around. Kind, attractive, intelligent. I love Bogotá.
I love these videos about Bogota especially, but is it a safe place for average people? almost every time I see a cool video about Bogota, I get recommended a video of people saying that they've been mugged at gunpoint or stalked or had their phone stolen in broad daylight and all that and it's always making me have mixed feelings about it unfortunately
Bogota like most major cities in the world can be enjoyed safely by taking a few precautions. Stick to well-known areas, avoid displaying valuables on the street, use trusted transportation apps, and stay aware of your surroundings, especially at night. While some travelers may have had negative experiences, many visit without issues and have an amazing time.
@@Gold.Circle.Just keep on seeing you and your comments. I am pretty sure you did not get a Colombiana and just want to express your frustration through these comments lol
@@Gold.Circle.Yes because criminals are given slaps on the wrists and the judges sent them free almost immediately. And to add insult to injury, they are called “Gestores de Paz”😂
@@Gold.Circle. that's a real problem here sadly but penitentiary system don't do the right job and with it being an extended problematic people have the tendency to blame the victim which trivialize a serious problem, but it's not like every street has two guys at the end trying to stole your phone , like the other comment say stay in zones you know , look for a kinda secure neighborhood, don't show your valuable things too much and look behind every now and then , but please don't live with fear that's another way of telling those fk criminals that they won , also being robbed is also a luck thing sometimes tbh
I visited Colombia in 2015/16. Really liked it. However, I more recently decided to invest in Panama. The safety in Colombia is questionable. That’s substantiated by my good friend who works with one of the largest multinational organizations in the world. Latin American operations were based in Colombia until his boss was robbed for his phone and died after being pushed to the concrete. After said incident, the company moved Latin American operations to Panama. I intend to visit Colombia again, especially now invested in the region. But the question of safety would concern me from a living standpoint
I have heard many stories of people getting scopolaminad in Medellin. You really have to be aware of your surroundings there. However it is one of the best in LATAM with really friendly people
Have you ever tried what they called a "Canelaso".. I've had it in Bogota, Colombia and it reminded me of a margarita cocktail. Agua panela (warm), one shot of Aguardiente and they dipped the rims of the glasses with brown sugar and one whole stick of Cinnamon/ Canela; it's truly sensational and goes perfect with the cooler climate and it makes my dancing to go faster, Okie dokie 🙏😍💃🕺🥳❤😂💯🎉🎉🎉
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.
Watching this video has given me many thoughts. There are many good things about my country, but the lifestyle you are showing is not affordable, it is expensive!!!
WOW! Crazy expensive for Bogota. I would have thought you'd get damn near a palace for a million dollars in Colombia. I'm guessing theres some kind of monthly fees as well being a condominium type building?
Colombia currently has the 3rd best health care system in the American Continent, behind Costa Rica (1st) and Canada (2nd). Now, I have no experience with Canada's system, but I've been hospitalized/had surgeries in both Colombia and Costa Rica and I personally rank the Colombian system over the Costa Rican, especially if you have the financial means. What makes CR shine is its universality regardless of income class.
That is the most hilarious comment so far. Canada second? Are you using 1970s data😂😂😂? Private medicine is good if you can afford it, most locals cant but the EPS system is going down the tubos fast, justl ike Canadas ALREADY did.
Just take into account CR is even smaller (both population and surface) and a lower GDP" than Colombia´s Antioquia state, whose capital city is Medellin, so just for them is easier to manage as one state, but is a beautiful great country.
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.
Bogotá is an underrated city! I visited in 2018. I like the climate there, and of course the amazing coffee. I recommend you always pay the cab drivers in cash! Got my cards skimmed there. However the Colombian people are wonderful
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.

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. 🙂
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.

@@Radio280think you will need around 10k to live comfortably and with this kind of lifestyle

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.
Need more vlog like this mr.Henderson 👍
Amen!!!
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!
Nobody is friendly and kind as Colombians, beautiful country and beautiful people, better place I ever been

Thank you Sir. !!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
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.

@@azdbuk 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
@@azdbuk facts. English language is ugly
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
Thank you.
One of the unspoken elements I just love about Colombia - real brick. Everywhere. Just love the solid buildings.
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! 💯
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?
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
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 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.
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

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.
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
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.

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!

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.
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.
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).
Never seen Bogota like that... really great city... great video..

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. 🇨🇴👏

Thank you! 😃
Such a great shoot and an incredible city, excited for more Live Like A King videos to come!
Bro let me tell you this is the most detail video I've ever seen for someone looking to get an apartment and move to a different country, Bogotá feels like the Latinamerican New York with European Vibes at the same time, everything in one city, locals are doing such a great job fixing all the isues from the past, economically is such a strong city, great location for travel everywhere and yep, definitely that's the place where I want to live, thank you so much.
Glad you liked it!!
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
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?
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.
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.

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

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

Bogota like most major cities in the world can be enjoyed safely by taking a few precautions. Stick to well-known areas, avoid displaying valuables on the street, use trusted transportation apps, and stay aware of your surroundings, especially at night. While some travelers may have had negative experiences, many visit without issues and have an amazing time.
@@Gold.Circle.Just keep on seeing you and your comments. I am pretty sure you did not get a Colombiana and just want to express your frustration through these comments lol
@@Gold.Circle.Yes because criminals are given slaps on the wrists and the judges sent them free almost immediately. And to add insult to injury, they are called “Gestores de Paz”😂
@@Gold.Circle. that's a real problem here sadly but penitentiary system don't do the right job and with it being an extended problematic people have the tendency to blame the victim which trivialize a serious problem, but it's not like every street has two guys at the end trying to stole your phone , like the other comment say stay in zones you know , look for a kinda secure neighborhood, don't show your valuable things too much and look behind every now and then , but please don't live with fear that's another way of telling those fk criminals that they won , also being robbed is also a luck thing sometimes tbh
It was nice meeting you Andrew. But I'm with you. I love Bogotá. One of my favorite besides Cali.

It's true that people in Bogotá dress very elegantly. I, myself, care a lot about looking formal when going out 😝
Viva Colombia!!
Such a handsome young nomad capitalist. I am so excited he knows he has a shower for two.
I visited Colombia in 2015/16. Really liked it. However, I more recently decided to invest in Panama. The safety in Colombia is questionable. That’s substantiated by my good friend who works with one of the largest multinational organizations in the world. Latin American operations were based in Colombia until his boss was robbed for his phone and died after being pushed to the concrete. After said incident, the company moved Latin American operations to Panama. I intend to visit Colombia again, especially now invested in the region. But the question of safety would concern me from a living standpoint
Yes, it is very dangerous. Please do not come! 😊
I have heard many stories of people getting scopolaminad in Medellin. You really have to be aware of your surroundings there. However it is one of the best in LATAM with really friendly people
And it is a very valid concern. Why this channel doesn’t discuss the crime that plagues Bogota?
Thanks for supporting my city and my country God bless you
Our pleasure!
Have you ever tried what they called a "Canelaso"..
I've had it in Bogota, Colombia and it reminded me of a margarita cocktail.
Agua panela (warm), one shot of Aguardiente and they dipped the rims of the glasses with brown sugar and one whole stick of Cinnamon/ Canela; it's truly sensational and goes perfect with the cooler climate and it makes my dancing to go faster, Okie dokie 🙏😍💃🕺🥳❤😂💯🎉🎉🎉
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 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.
Watching this video has given me many thoughts. There are many good things about my country, but the lifestyle you are showing is not affordable, it is expensive!!!
@Andrew This is premium content. Please do more like this in other countries.
WOW! Crazy expensive for Bogota. I would have thought you'd get damn near a palace for a million dollars in Colombia. I'm guessing theres some kind of monthly fees as well being a condominium type building?
Colombia currently has the 3rd best health care system in the American Continent, behind Costa Rica (1st) and Canada (2nd).
Now, I have no experience with Canada's system, but I've been hospitalized/had surgeries in both Colombia and Costa Rica and I personally rank the Colombian system over the Costa Rican, especially if you have the financial means. What makes CR shine is its universality regardless of income class.
That is the most hilarious comment so far. Canada second? Are you using 1970s data😂😂😂?
Private medicine is good if you can afford it, most locals cant but the EPS system is going down the tubos fast, justl ike Canadas ALREADY did.
Just take into account CR is even smaller (both population and surface) and a lower GDP" than Colombia´s Antioquia state, whose capital city is Medellin, so just for them is easier to manage as one state, but is a beautiful great country.
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.
I must say, I am Impressed. Bogota looks very lovely. Not at all what one thinks of Columbia.
Bogotá is an underrated city! I visited in 2018. I like the climate there, and of course the amazing coffee. I recommend you always pay the cab drivers in cash! Got my cards skimmed there. However the Colombian people are wonderful
Thanks for sharing!
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.
