Thank you very much for this video, I'm relocating from the USA to Medellin at the end of March, I am Colombian born and bilingual but I grew up in the USA, your video truly helped me feel more comfortable about what to expect. Cheers to you.
That's happening a lot . My cousins are older than me and of Colombian heritage and are planing of moving there soon. My sister is American born like me and also said the same things . It's like our generation lings for our our final culture.
@@crisalhashemi8607 yeah i´m speak english but i don´t know if i have time because i work monday to friday. if you need help dont dude text me for advice. i wish you have a nice trip and enjoy it.
I see a lot of comments here people saying things like they're worried about going to Medellin or Colombia. Let me tell you thatI've been to many places in the world and the country where I feel the safest was in Colombia
By the way, if you'd like to know more about Colombia and need someone to guide you, let me know. I give videoconference on how to make the best out of your travel.
The locals seem to pronounce it “Mede-Jean.” I’m also troubled that you’re saying it’s safe now - there’s been a huge spike in crime including targeting of foreigners.
I was thinking the same I have a trip booked in two weeks to go to Medellin for the first time. I’m staying in poblado the supposed safe area but then I just saw a video of people getting held up in a nice restaurant in poblado 🤦🏻 so now I’m getting a little worried
@@nickychops6729 Same. It was an armed robbery in the restaurant of the Click Clack Hotel. Another tourist was robbed of his phone in Poblado last night apparently (he resisted: bad idea). Earlier in the month two tourists were robbed and killed in their hotel room in Laureles - they were soliciting women via Tinder.
@@BoydJones yeah it looks like you really have to have your head on a swivel . I’m coming from New York where there of course is plenty of crime but it seems they are a lot more brazen and don’t care about the cops
@@nickychops6729 I wish I were wrong but it is looking bad. Cops there don't seem to care as you say. I'm close to canceling a work trip there -- I mean, if I can't even walk the streets safely, why bother? I'll just do Zoom.
I've lived in Medellin in 2016, and I've just returned from a two month stay. It now rains almost every day there, or it did at least in February. Don't let anyone tell you Medellin is safe....muggings are common, often at knife point!. There is a high level of petty crime such as mobile phone theft and wallet theft etc. I keep hearing that 'Medellin has changed beyond recognition since the days of Escobar'. Well visually perhaps yes, with lots of new buildings and an excellent metro system. But many problems remain. It's expensive, the service sucks, the traffic is unruly and awful, and you will be targeted as a gringo for at least price gouging if not worse... Having said that, it's worth a visit... But it's no paradise...b
Escobar employed hundreds of locals who perpetrated innumerable acts of crime and violence. Guess what; I suspect many of those criminals still live there and are "looking for work".
Safety in general seems to be the common concern, and many advise not to have phones or expensive tech in public due to a variety of petty crime being tempted by the “papaya.” I’m going to Medellín this Friday and plan to do some video work. Any advice on filming without having my stuff stolen? Felt generally safe with you’re phone and cameras in the open?
@@osmonddsilva1577 very very few expats really “live” here. It’s all travelers and digital nomads that just visit for a little bit then get out when poblado gets boring. Living is way different than Airbnb traveling
I noticed that after being in Costa Rica, you skipped Panama and went straight to Colombia....just like most Rock n Roll bands always do. 🤔😅 Saludos!🇵🇦
Nice video! Would be great to give some more insights about safety in medellin or colombia in general (any areas to avoid, armed robberies etc). Cheers
Loved your video, FYI that was not coffee, that was probably “aguapanela” or something similar, it is a traditional drink nonetheless the food was not traditional at all, that’s contemporary food, I guess? Anyways, I do appreciate foreigners enjoying my city but the grass is very different when you are Colombian, they don’t kill/rob/kidnap you, only because you are a tourist other than that the city is an extremely dangerous place to be overall, infrastructure is outrageous, the healthcare system does not work, wages are insane low, corruption is terrible as well, really bad place to live unfortunately

👋 Welcome to Medellin, the city of eternal spring, Medellin is the most developed city in Colombia and the #1 in quality of life in the country, in addition Medellin is one of the world capitals of digital nomads, even Medellin is the ONLY HEADQUARTERS OF ALL LATIN AMERICA for *THE FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION* along with TOKYO, BEIJING, MUMBAI and SAN FRANCISCO, which are the headquarters of the other continents.
Medellin is just like every large city in the world. Some neighborhoods are safe, some are safe with a local escort, and some are generally avoided always. If you are a sex tourist going stupid places, with stupid people, at stupid times of the night, you are setting yourself up to be a victim. There are 16 comunas with 271 barrios. Do a little research and avoid certain places. Just like you would do in every single major American city. Violent crime is greater in about 20 major US cities as it is in Medellin. I have local friends, and some of the places I choose to visit I don't go without them. The light rail system is better and safer than any in the USA, London, or Paris. Looking forward to my next visit in 2025. Hopefully for 3 to 6 months.

How much are you spend normally in one week on Medellin ?

Medellin looks like one of the world's most fascinating cities.
This is a great video on Medellin! Awesome insight, non biased and real. Can’t wait to visit.👌🏻
I'm planning to go to medellin for a month from next week, looks amazing.
Please take safety precautions.
Welcome to my county, I wish you have a great experience. Prepare to see the most beautiful woman in the world and people friendly.
Enjoy the trip.

@@BoydJones well I’ll let you know how it was if I make it back in one piece 😂😂
Thanks for nicely describing about Columbia
Is COLOMBIA, not Columbia
@@thebestkaros dude, you need to improve your English grammar.
OMG. I have great memories in that penthouse! Welcome to my country
great job on this video really enjoyed it thanks
Amazing Medellin vlog!!
Gracias chica!
Great Video Jord ! Really liked watching this …
u should put up the airbnb link to that nice apartment
I know you since 2016. Still making Videos, wow!

Well said
Escobar employed hundreds of locals who perpetrated innumerable acts of crime and violence. Guess what; I suspect many of those criminals still live there and are "looking for work".
I would love to visit and live there someday in Colombia after the Coronavirus pandemic oming from the Philippines.
How are the covid requirements for Colombia @life of Jord?
Excellent video, I'm there now! Come June we're hosting a 4 week CoLiveWork in Poblado Medellin. Will share this video with our group. Thanks!
This is like Louix Theroux meets Vlog haha love it

We'll be there in a week 😎
Is Colombia dangerous? (For both tourism and extended living)
Not really nowadays
No
Just the girls
Did you watch the video? 🙄
Some areas are dangerous. Most are safe. Just be careful and pick the safe areas.
Been there so many times now I want to retire there.
I lived in Medellin for a year. In Colombia, the L’s are pronounced as J’s. It’s pronounced Me-de-JJin ☺️
Why did you leave Medellin?
@@osmonddsilva1577 very very few expats really “live” here. It’s all travelers and digital nomads that just visit for a little bit then get out when poblado gets boring. Living is way different than Airbnb traveling

Saludos!🇵🇦
Nice video
Poblado has some of the flyest penthouses I've ever stayed in. Very affordable but be aware with the price gouging you may run into being a gringo.
Its often gringo property owners, not colombians, that do the gouging!
@@tahiti1 what does have to do with being aware of price gouging? It happens innately all over the world by humans in general.
Nice vlog and btw your steak is hot bro 🤩👏🏼
Oh, stop saying that as an introduction to the city. What about the beautiful climate and mountains surrounding the city?
Agree
Really want a mentor I feel a calling in this life style
Nice video! Would be great to give some more insights about safety in medellin or colombia in general (any areas to avoid, armed robberies etc). Cheers
More murders I'm Washington DC than on Medellin. Any day... it's so dangerous
Omg, u met micha and justina !!!
Enjoying the food? serious timber
First impressions and a mission statement…
really like the flog an preparing to vsisit colombia as soon
It's safe, Medellín is no longer what it used to be. That's what they all say until you get robbed.
Funny
You nailed it..
😂😂😂
Facts
