Avoid this country > like a plague ! --- Mexico too. --- US & Canadian expats will be safer - will save as much money - and - have English widely spoken in the Philippines and even Cambodia - with locals much friendlier towards N. Americans in both countries !!! 🤗
June 16, 2024 Having resided in Medellin for three years, the last year seems to have seen a spike in crime. While sitting at Suramerica Metro, having a tinto. Street guy approaches begging for a cigarette...refused. Street guy wants to swap a pair of scissors (10,000cop?)...i refuse, he grabs my umbrella, threatens me with the shears. I recover the umbrella, start walking stairs into metro station...street guy attempts to kick my feet from under me. Bystanders have called the police. Street guy exits the scene...police arrive, 15 minutes later. Cruise the area...nothing. One week later having another tinto, different location...street guy is now paying for his own tinto AND cigarette. See's me...departs. Police can't seem to locate this guy...same neighborhood. Funny...peculair...paranoia?
Colombians will always tell you things are dangerous. Any barrio you ask about, if the person you ask doesn't live there, they will say it's dangerous. Because they have been taught to stay in their barrios where it's safe for them. I am blonde with blue eyes and I go into EVERY barrio. And I live in one of those "dangerous" barrios for over 6 years.. Never felt safer in my life. So, take safety advice from a local with a grain of salt.
Thanks for watching and if you are interested in having Carlos pick you up from the airport you can contact him here: +57-314-830-9494

Is Carlos a private driver or does he work as Uber or yellow taxi?
I'll be visiting Medellin in a few days. This all seems to be good advice. Thank you!
Columbia is in South Carolina, Colombia in S America get it right

Don’t take taxis they’re known to kidnap, take Ubers.

Good Morning. Great video. So how much is that set price cab ride from MDE to Poblado?
Right now it's around $100,000 pesos.
The best advice if you are afraid of going, its not going to start with.
When exploring uncomfortable environments I have a local girlfriend sense where to go.
It’s absurd and comical needing to have the gold chain discussion toward the end. Even in the bigger cities in Europe you are not save wearing these.

The best way to stay safe is not going there gringos,to dangerous,don't take the chance...!
nope dont take a cab in Colombia they will charge you more always uber
What forms of payment do Taxis accept?
Mostly cash. I have seen very few taxis that accept credit cards. You can also use Uber.
Hi David. I have a friend there in Cali, Columbia.
Hi i Medelin is beter rent apartent or hptel ?
Don’t trust No one in Columbia
