- El Centro Medellin Colombia can and is a dangerous place. You have to always be aware of your surroundings. While filming a walk and talk video for you guys, I saw a suspicious character following me. It was obvious he wanted to do something bad. But I outwitted him and got away. Watch the video to see what happened.

David, is it true that Colombians generally speak pure Spaniard Spanish?
It's not like Spanish from Spain. It's a more understandable Spanish, especially here in Medellin. They speak clearer and not so fast. So this is one of the better places to learn the language in the world because of that reason.
@@LifewithDavid Ever since I started reading Spanish short stories I developed a habit of writing down words when I have any doubt about the meaning. This has served me well because as soon as you start looking up the words, you start to reduce misunderstanding. Though you really need some example sentences in order to remember the words and be able to use them. In one of the recent videos you asked two ladies what this "public square" was used for and they something like "hacer patrimonio" I did not understand what they meant by that either. When I looked up "patrimonio" it means heritage, but it is used in several ways such as in taxes or sculptures, etc. It always bugs me when I cannot figure out what people meant and I know this is going to drive me cray every time I think of it ;)
😂 that's exactly why I didn't understand her entirely as well. I wish she would have explained a bit more, like, this is a historic building very important to the city... and a bit more. But I guess she was in a rush and also did not want to talk to a big man she doesn't know in El Centro. 😂🤷♂️
@@samchoon4864 it's called " Castellana ", Theу do not say Yo, they say Jo ( Djo ), They say " Medejin ", Portugese influence ? ( Brasilia ) ?
This channel is one of better ones for expats seeking to visit or move to Colombia, so please share and promote this channel with friends and family. Now back to the scheduled program of the day.
😂😂 I love it! Thank you Sam for your support! 💪
Great video, bud! Un edificio Patrimonio is a heritage building. Important to the city for historic or architectural reasons, requiring preservation.
Thank you for that explanation. Now it makes sense. Need to look up the history of those buildings, would be nice to know. 😀
Happy you enjoyed it! 😁
You’re welcome. Yeah she said “no los cambian” so they have a lot value to the city. Definitely worth checking out! 🤙
Damn, I'm making videos in Colombia too so I know how paranoid you have to get when filming outside! I wish it would be safer to film this awesome country and show what it has to offer! You got a new subscriber.
Yes. You have to be careful
Yah love your vids. Feels like I'm right there with ya. Planning to head down soon as its open again.
Thank you! I am happy you enjoy them. It feels the same when I am talking to the camera, feels like I am talking to you guys. Welcome to the channel! You will love it here in Medellin.
Love your video's. Feels as though I right there with you in Medellin. About that guy following you, you are probably right about having your camera snatched. I will tell you why. It's because you are walking SLOW and looking distracted talking to the camera. If you notice how people walk, not only in Colombia, but most parts of Central and South America, they walk fast and deliberate. I tried catching up to some nice local girls to chat with them while they walk and forget it. It's like running the mile in under 4 minutes. They are athletic and can negotiate stairs, bridges, and inclines like a dolphin swimming downstream. There is a reason why, they are safer in the streets with that type of walking. Happy touring! Keep up the excellent work!
definitely walking with a camera out isn't smart at all.
@@LifewithDavid try to put your little gopro on the belt and attract less attention
You said "but most parts of Central and South America, they walk fast and deliberate. " --- WHAT??? #1 I have heard numerous times Colombians can spot North Americans because we're always walking so damn fast. That alone is a give away. #2 I was pretty paranoid when I first arrived, so to estimate the danger I would creep up behind people, especially women walking alone, walking a little too close behind to see if they're jumpy or would even look. They're not - AT ALL. ~~~ So in conclusion, NO IDEA what country you are making things up about.
DAVID THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT INFORMATION THAT YOU ARE GIVING US.. YOU ARE THE BEST
It is my pleasure! I'm really enjoying making content and looking forward to bringing you guys many more quality videos. 😀
i feel ya, even i was hopping on a collectivo & was with a local another local tipped me off that a guy in the back was eyeing up my wallet, i usually wear it beneath my shirt but was taken off guard. The rotero just hopped off. Just be aware if tour surroundings. Roam with locals and dont carry much cash
Patrimonio = Heritage. She refers to buildings kept the same as an historical building.
Patrimonio is heritage. Let me like my own comment
Thank you! I was confused on video. haha Kind of wish she would have explained more, but I think I surprised her. LOL
Thanks David. Be careful and keep up the great videos.
Thank you! I will. 😊
Thanks for all the videos man! I'm planning on heading down to México (Guadalajara and Mexico City) and Columbia (Medellín) whenever we can get out and travel again. Although I'm thinking about moving from SF permanently. Really enjoying the perspective from down on the ground. Thanks!
You are more than welcome. I am enjoying making them for you guys. Guadalajara is a beautiful city, I haven't explored Mexico City yet but heard good things. Make sure to check out the pueblos outside the cities. Mexican historic pueblos are amazing. You will love it here in Medellin. But it is good to check out your options.
Leaving SF to come to Latin America, if you can keep that SF salary, then you will live like a king with quality of life to go with it.
I will keep the videos coming so you can get better idea of how real life is here. 😁
@@LifewithDavid I will definitely do that! I think I'm excited about history more than anything. I figure I'll have a better idea of where to post up for a bit after I've visited a few places.
Definitely planning on keeping the SF salary! I was talking to my Spanish tutor today and he almost fell on the floor when he heard how much I pay in rent lol.
😂😂 It should be a crime how expensive things are in some areas of the world. That is awesome you will be able to keep that salary and work remotely. Check out your options and keep us updated. Smart that you are picking up some Spanish before you come. 👍
I also plan to travel to surrounding countries and document my experiences there for you guys. Of course once this channel is able to afford those trips. 😂🤷♀️
In the meantime I plan to become the go to guy in English for Medellin and Colombia.😁
Dude! COLOMBIA...not columbia
@@smokey459 Lol, if he said " Columbia ", he will get robbed for sure !!!
The talent at the 4:32 mark
Great video as always! Keep up the good work. I just booked my flight to Medellin for November. I hope the borders will have opened up by then. 🙏🙏🤞
Thank you my friend! I hope so too, things are getting tough here and the economy needs to open back up. Hopefully you'll be out here in November and things will be back to normal. 😀
I am traveling in November too
What you said about the individual striving to make a living, to create a business, truly i to respect that. I started from nothing myself and i own property and i sell internationally, like you no formal education. I like this character of Medellin peoples. I am starting a relationship with a very beautiful woman and in steps i want to build something in Medellin for her. Are colombian woman (the normal girls) good to their man?
Yes, this is something I respect too. Good for you on building yourself up. To answer your question, yes, you can find very good women here that will strive with you to make something in life.
You make a good host , very knowledgeable, I'd like to visit and meet you someday!!! Your a cool guy keep up the good work , enjoy brother blessings
Thanks for the introduction to Plaza Cisneros and glad you were not robbed by that suspicious character. The segment on how to navigate San Antonio station was informative. Need to be prepared for that maze. Your channel is unique because of the walkabouts and genuine dialog. Keep up the good work and be safe!
You are very welcome. Plaza Cisneros is a cool place.
Yes that was a scare, but happy I reacted quickly before he had the opportunity to get close.
Thank you! Just being myself and showing you guys around. 😁
I’m not going to lie, these walk abouts are thrilling. It’s like what’s going to happen next...
😁😂 I am happy to bring some excitement and suspense to the videos. 😎😀 But in reality, I never plan anything (maybe just an idea). It is all about going out and seeing what I discover or what discovers me. haha
@@LifewithDavid thanks man
I agree. Great flow and informative but never boring.
Willys was the first maker of Jeeps in ww2 ford was also contracted to help make them. Willys was making jeeps until they sold to Amc in 1970 so that jeep has some age. Another great video David.
Wow! I love the trivia knowledge my friend! There are quite a few Willys here in this part of Colombia, it was one of the original farm vehicle on the coffee farms. Most of them are in mint condition, pretty impressive if they aren't making them anymore.
It’s just wonderfull to see it’s raining I love the rain
keep up the good work. when quarantine ends, i hope you explore other places in colombia that are not as well-known, and perhaps a trip to Bello.
Thank you! I plan to do many videos around Colombia. It will be fun. Have you seen my video walking around Bello yet?
@@LifewithDavid send me the link
@@xanetik here you go - th-cam.com/video/QeqZR7mOu5o/w-d-xo.html
Hope you enjoy. 👍 i get to Bello at the end of the video.
Bello is super dangerous you are crazy hah
Walk at angles, know your route, always have more than one out, keep your back on walls if you stop
Very good tips
And walk with someone dont walk alone
@@alfredodelacruz1864 That's right. Make friends, acquaintances. Never walk alone. Walk with people from there. Dress similarly, blend in.
The nice looking building is the Secretaria de Educacion. Thanks for the great videos.
Please do make a video of inside the former Palacio de Justicia. It is absolutely beautiful inside. Medellin is so lucky that it was rescued and turned into a mall. Show the insides and everyone will be amazed! Also, David, where did you get that great mask? I want one of those!
Ok, I will make sure to get back out there and make a video inside the Palacio de Justicia. I love old building and it will be fun to film it.
I bought this mask in a bicycle shop here. It is meant to filter out contamination, I am sure you can find it in any sports or bike shop. The place I got it from is now closed down. I like it better than a normal mask, because it allows me to breath easier.
@@LifewithDavid Incidentally, the CC Palacio Nacional (former Palacio de Justicia) was designed by the same Belgian architect, Augustin Goovaerts, as the Palacio de la Cultura in Plaza Botero.
Wow! Ininteresting fact. I love that building in la plaza Botero.
Loved the content , my first time in el centro my head was on a Swivel between checking out the chicas and not trying to get my tiny Osmo pocket cam snatched lol
Yup! You can get a neck work out for sure. 😂😂
Life with David 😂😂😂😂😂😂 moments where we all wish we had eyes on the back of our heads.
My first trip to Medellin years ago I went exploring and ended up walking around el centro around Parque Botero. When a girlfriend asked me what I did during the day I told her I took a walk around Botero. She said, "you are crazy, they will rob you. I'm from Medellin and I would go to that area by myself."
I guess I just blended in the crowd lol
I think if you blend in and walk with confidence you should be fine. But it is risky there. Lol
@@LifewithDavid This Marine is from the barrios of California. My thing is this, always be on alert. I know and can feel negative vibes. If I feel danger in the area I stray away or Im vigilant. Just be smart and dont put yourself in dangerous situations. You only live once carnal
They are very interesting videos.
Te felicito por caminar el centro de Medellín con tu cámara, eres muy osado. Saludos Parcero
Thank you! I am happy you are enjoying them.
Aah si. Pero siempre me cuido lo mas que puedo. Siempre vigilando mi alrededor.
yes show us all the malls and shopping districts thx!
Great video again David!
Thank you Robert! Happy you enjoyed it. 😁
Wow, be careful, take care. ✌
that moment when u realize Colombia has better and more advanced metro than Germany
Thought the same lol
Great video bro. They get creative with those carts. Now I see what you were talking about with the guy following you. I would have reversed it and stalked him turn into Deebo. The plastic barrier they are doing that in the states also. Its a trip to see and hand sanitizer everywhere now. The train platform looks a trip. Never seen anything like that.
They are super industrious here. I've even seen a lady who turned a baby stroller into a grill and was selling grilled meat.
That would have made the video even better! Hahaha i could imagine him thinking, what the hell is that guy doing... Haha
Yes, it is easy to get turned around in the main station. But most people are friendly and will give you help.
Happy you enjoyed it bro! 😁
@@LifewithDavid wow a stroller into a grill. I need to see that for real. Food probably 🔥🔥 too
If I come across something like that again I will film it for you. 👍
It was good. Grilled chicken and pork. 😋😁
@@LifewithDavid cool bro thank you. I appreciate you
@@LifewithDavid In costa Rica I say a toilet seat turned in a barbeque ( Guanacaste area )
There used to be more Jeep Willys in the united states, in the 1980s i used to see them in Auto Trader ... the main print publication for selling cars back then ... we had them, lots of them ... you just don't see them so much in the states anymore
Very cool vehicles.
When I was in Parque de la luz in 2019 junkies were shooting up in the open. I'd hate to see what it was like when it was bad.
That area used to be super dangerous.
I have seen a Jeep like that on the airport jajaja , nice one bro 👍🏼
It is a super cool jeep. They also turn them into mobile coffee shops. When I go visit the coffee region for you guys, I will show you an example! 😁
Willy jeep was the original US army jeep from WW2
David...just looked up "patrimonio," which it says means "heritage." Maybe that's a building where they have events to show off the Colombian culture and cultural affairs? Did you even get clarity? It's a nice looking building.
Sooooo I had added Colombia to my list of potential retirement spots, namely Cartagena, but Medellin has caught my eye. I'm a little nervous about the 2-3 mugging/mugging attempts you told us about. I'd be coming by myself and brushing up on my Spanish too. Hmmmmmmmmmm! Have to think long and hard.
What action camera are you using for your blogs?
Any cheap used ones you recommend?.
Where is the actual story of you being robbed? You just robbed me of time.
😂
11:45
I just saw that others guys VLOG, it was ...downloaded by " Man in the Black Mask". Titled. "I just tried to rob a guy but he was too smart for me". 🤣
😂😂
Yeah, he was waiting for a good moment to catch you slipping. Lame ass thief. Anyway, I've noticed many vloggers here on TH-cam are preoccupied with too many things while using the camera. Also wandering into places they really shouldn't be.
You need a guy like me (who does security for a living) walking with you, and watching your six. Wouldn't charge you either. Pro Bono. Stay safe!
Mijo, no de papaya!! Dont give Papaya. 😜
Patrimonio,
patri is partial word of Patria: nation /national. Referring to the country
Monio partial word of matrimonio, marriage
Related to heritage, country heritage. A country treasure and protected by the countries laws so not to be destroyed or changed.

Great video david
Thank you! 😁
David , i was going to ask you that is it safe to shoot on the streets before i watched . Keep up the good work . Thank you .
😂😂 I am assuming you got the answer. haha
It isn't safe at all. But there is a quote from a famous Colombian filmmaker Raúl Mendoza always says: "Making films in Colombia is going out with your camera and maybe coming back with nothing, but that's the beauty of it too and you need to take your camera out there"
Basically, a calculated risk to be able to capture the beauty and interesting things that Colombia has to offer us. 😀
Life with David Colombia is a beautiful place , was in Bogota for a month .
Bogota is a happening city. And outside the city there are beautiful mountains and pueblos.
Not always ! I put my tiny Gopro Session on the belt like a pager to the right and I did not have any problem while filming on La 70 in Laureles ( stores, gelateria, Mondongo's, UPB )
You are doing a great job
Thank you!! That means a lot to me! 😁😁
They do the plexiglass at cashiers in Canada too due to covid.
I could careless about a mall, I mean travel to a foreign country to know a new culture but just visit mall culture, kinda ridiculous.
Been going through your vids as I would be there right now for a couple month vacation but the Wuhan is ruined travel for all. Glad I can virtual travel through your camera so thanks.
I can't stand malls. I was happy it was closed. 😂😂
Great! Thank you for letting me know you are enjoying the content
In Asia and south America malls are important gathering places cause they have aicons ...
Did you hear about the Coronapp? They were saying it was mandatory to get into those 3 malls this week. I was thinking it might be extended to get into other places, in order to track our movements.
From what I heard, you also have the option to give your information to the guards at entry. That is what I did in my last video I made about Medellin Opening up. This is how it is now and I was able to get in that way. But no telling if they will change it to only the app and no other choice. But the problem with that is, what about the people who don't have smart phones here? We will see... Maybe free government phones?
Thats where Pablo ate his last ice cream
Patrimonio means a Landmark bldg or heritage" no los cambian" meaning they don't build a new one to replace them.
Thank you!! She didn't explain very much. Haha Probably shy
You see those jeeps in small towns primarily
Yes, I love them!
Hola David I would like so see the poorer barrios, but stay safe, I have been coming to Colombia many times since 2004, but I think it is very difficult for me to move there because I have 8 horses and other animals, but the places that I like in Llano Grande, Rionegro area That is very expensive where Uribe lives, in La Florida it is much less expensive I have only known Latin women all my life, but I am original from Norway, but I lived in the US since I was 16, Bert
Hello Bert. Yes, I plan to show and explore all over Medellin. I will stay as safe as I can, thank you for your concern. 😊
Wow, many horses. Yes, it would be hard to leave them behind, I am sure.
I stayed for a bit in la Florida area, very convenient location.
There are other areas outside Medellin but very close that has very pretty farm type land and not super expensive. I will also explore those areas in the future for you guys.
Thank you for the comment and adding to the conversation. 😁
Viking , colombians will call you " snow white "
Carnale, you are risking your life and possessions in the "No Go Zone" Stay Safe in the Estrato 5 and 5 Barrios.
haha, it is all good. I will make a video on safety tips here in Medellin if someone tries to rob you. I plan to go out today and make an update video and I will add the tips. 😀
I appreciate your concern though. I will be safe and watch my six. 😎😀
Life with David yessss that would be a great video!!!
Great! I will make it 😁💪
@@LifewithDavid When I was in Barranquilla I brought a cheap flip phone and had a tailor sew in hidden pockets inside my jeans to carry small amounts of cash. So if you ever get jacked you only give up small amount of pesos and a cheap used cell phone. I don't wear any jewelry or watch.
Very very smart! 😁👍
when I got robbed a last year, they actually frisked me at gunpoint. 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Yes, as someone mentioned below, patrimonio refers to heritage. Those buildings date pretty far back, and as such are historically significant. Before they built Plaza Cisneros or Parque de las Luces, that area was inhabited by squatters, drug dealers and generally speaking was an area that was horrendous and super dangerous. The heritage buildings were also occupied by squatters and reportedly were really trashed out. At least some of those buildings are now part of Medellin's equivalent of the Department of Public Education...anyway, something to do with the education system. On the other side of Parque de las Luces is a large library; one of the ways that Medellin continues to rehabilitate areas of the city and to provide areas for education. On the other side of Avenida San Juan, in front of the Plaza, are the state of Antioquia and the city of Medellín government buildings.
Thank you for this info, very interesting. Yes, I remember people telling me that this area was super dangerous before. And even after they finish the Parque de las Luces, it still was considered dangerous. Now it has become a lot safer with police presence in the area. But you still need to be vigilant.
I love that the city puts libraries everywhere, especially in the poorer barrios. This gives kids access to books and other activities. Plus they are actually pretty nice inside.
There is so much to show about Medellin, I think I could dedicate a whole year making videos and still not scratch the surface. 😀
It now appears super clean wherever you look.
I was in Medellin in November, sorry to say but I was bored of the place after 3 or 4 days...I just kept seeing the same people every day, same street sweet sellers, same scroungers, same working girls ...& I did move about to different parts from Laurels to El Poblado...Los Palmas. It
don't mean I wouldn't visit again but I would probably go to Cartagena first...I dunno?? Maybe head further south to Argentina;
man when i was Buenos Aires Bogota and espeically Venezuela, i was ready to fight anyone that tried to rob me, i had brass knuckles, backup wallet and some sharp object to shank them if try me. i got stuck in Caracas airport before cause they canceled my ticket for no reason and the bitches at avianca wont help at all. only place i ever felt safe was in the core of MIrafloes where all the tourist attraction are. But still had to be aware at all times.
Great videos
Thank you
Yea bro big time papaya 😂
Super papaya!! Jaja
Great documentary! I think some of us would be interested to learn about the entire school system in Colombia. Basically, I would like to know the level of schooling of people. Take a region of Medelin, where you are staying for example. I presume that it's similar to what there is in other countries. There is usually a primary school, followed by a secondary school and for some there is post education in a college or university, for those that go that high. Do most people have a secondary school education or do some drop out before the end? The girl workers on the street don't seem to have secondary education. Did they quit school early? How early? How many people have post-secondary (college or university)? Ask politely around? You can answer these questions by interviewing you women, men from the area. Visit and make a video on a local college and/or university. It would be great if you could interview some students or even better a college or university teacher to ask about the education system. Who has post-secondary education? Are there free or paid colleges/universities? It would be great if you can make a video on a popular paid college or university.
I am happy you enjoyed it! I will make a note to make a video about the school system here. And I agree, would be better to interview someone on that topic. Thank you!
Basically, foreigners like me want to understand the social fabric of Colombia, city by city through their level of education. It's different in each each region of a city. I hope you can talk about the people at the bottom of social scale, like the girls working the street. Have they even attended a school? If yes, how long? Then you move of the social scale. About how many students drop out before end of primary school? secondary school? When I see vidoes of nightlife in Medellin, with beautiful girls walking the sidewalks late at night, I ask myself: What is their level of education? A lot of foreigners like me have that question.
very interesting. I will look into it. 👍
@@cptechno All cities have free schools and colleges, there are 63 public universities throughout the country, private education is generally better, Colombia is full of mountains and places forgotten by the government where many people do not have the opportunity to study, people who work in the street many have education up to college, but that in this country does not guarantee you get out of poverty.
Ur brave there all alone, couldn’t do it, it’s a beautiful place, but as a female, not good
people are desperate be careful there and everywhere.
This is very true. These are desperate and sad times right now. I will be careful, thank you for your concern. 🤗
I was wondering are there any cycling groups or teams local bike shops stuff like that out there like here in the states
Yes, cycling is super popular here and great way to make friends and connections. But get ready to climb mountains! 💪😎😂
Life with David I look forward to it🚵🏼😁💪🏼. What other cities have you been too? What are your thoughts on Bogotá or Pereira
You should fit in here just fine then with that hobby! I have been to several cities, but plan to travel all over and make content for you guys. I have been to both Pereira and Bogota. Pereira is a small town and not much to do in my opinion. But the people are super nice and if you like small town life, it is good. The surrounding mountains and nature is super nice. Bogota is the capital and everything you would expect from a capital city, real busy, the people not as friendly (but still friendly, just not as much as in Medellin or Pereira), the weather is cold and rains almost every day. I like Bogota to visit on a long weekend, but I wouldn't live there. Depends on what you like and are looking for in a city.
If you wanna if some follow you all ways walk a circle, if he still behind you then you deff a target,
Exactly. And also stopping occasionally to see if he stops to mill around is a clear sign too.
My many of years traveling in not so safe countries has help me hone some awareness. But even then nobody is a 100% safe and it can happen anywhere to anyone.
Good tips!!!
Hey man be safe please
Thank you, I will. I always look around me to see if anyone is following suspiciously.
What part did you get robbed at?
💯💯💯
Colombians are infamous for saying shit that makes no sense whatsoever, and it's so GD irritating! He asked the girl what the building was and she said in spanish it's patrimonial??? David had no idea what that is, even though he understands spanish! Sheesh!!
Not a criticism (maybe a little) I notice you tubers more and more and more labeling their videos in a misleading way. Honestly I gave up in the video after 6 minutes because I was hearing you talk about a mall trip and NOT the title of the video. Wanted to hear a story on an attempt to rob you and I shouldn't have to click through 20 minutes of something else while getting it. I get it. Your a youtuber, but maybe youtubers should work more on labeling their videos more accurately.
The guy literally tried to rob me while filming this video...
@@LifewithDavid ahhhh. I get it.

I think most people won't take the risk to make the videos you make...camera out in full view as you walk along: you risk by giving papaya in public, but you'll get the reward of more subscribers.

Colombians do not dance Tango lol. They all do Regueaton, or Bachata I think. They are not Argentinians, they are more like central Americans even in the way they talk.
