I Moved to Colombia! (Living as a Local)

I have always wondered what it would be like to live and work in Medellín, Colombia. Medellín is know for being one of the most vibrant and fun cities in South America. Once one of the most dangerous cities in the world, Medellín has gone through a remarkable transformation. In 2013, it was awarded Most Innovative City of the Year and has become a hotspot for adventurous digital nomads for all it has to offer. In this video, we are continuing the digital nomad/expat series as I relocate to Medellín, Colombia to live and work. This is a day in my life living as a local in Medellín. Stay tuned for the next episode where I will deep dive into the cost of living in Medellín and the many contributing factors that make it one of the best, if not THE best, city in the world for working remotely.

    Avocado hack. Next time you can prep your guac/cubes of avocado and portion out in to a ziplock bag and freeze them until you are ready to eat. They will never turn brown in the freezer! Only takes overnight to defrost in the fridge when you plan to eat it the next day.

She always tells me that the cultures in CR and Colombia are VERY similar and also her and I can speak Spanish together and NEVER have dialect issues between the two regions. The culture in both places is VERY warm, inviting and also the cost of living is super low. I hope you enjoy it as much as we've enjoyed living in the Latin Americas! 😊

Back to the video, this just brought back memories to when I went to Medellín in 2015 and it was undoubtedly the most beautiful trip and experience. I haven’t been to many places here yet BUT Medellín definitely won my heart! The contrast of the mountains and the brick buildings, a view to never get tired of! Thanks for loving my country so far and if you stay here, eres más que bienvenida, mejor dicho ya eres otra Colombiana más de corazón! I hope you’ve already tried the buñuelos and the famous bandeja Paisa. Keep on enjoying your stay! ♥️
