Colombia is my Country and it never fails to amaze me, the number of foreigners coming to live here is suprising, it's true there are some areas in the country where you´d rather not live due to social issues and violence, but Medellin and its surrounding towns are safe for the most part and beautiful too... just use common sense like you would do in any other city in the world and you´ll be good... if you´re a visitor and you need a word of advice about life in Medellin my homecity I´d be glad to help

Colombia is becoming gentrified. Americans will hopefully believe the American propaganda and stay away.

The Colombian architects really appear to have a great taste. I've seen so many awesome places there (online). Better than anything I've seen in Europe or the US, and very affordable in comparison.

I visited Pereira for 5 days and fells in love with the place, I Bought a 1400 sq ft apartment for under 200k in the nicest area of the city. Has a over sized balcony with a hot tub over seeing the mountains. You can’t beat cost of living there compare to the US.

My father in law if from there. I'm glad its not overran with gringos like Medellin is! And it has so many places outside the city to visit and explore. But I can also speak the language which is a plus.

What website did you use to find that apartment

Thanks man! Quality of life is Everything.

Oh that apartment in the US would be at least $3,500 anywhere decent.

Digital nomad folks are always interested in the quality of internet connection. If you make more vids, I would be interested to hear more about the service your place has, and the difficulties of finding reliable Internet connections.

I respect the ones that actually love the culture and make the efforts to speak the language.

@randymillhouse791 Let's be honest here the minorities know it's usually the older senior or young professional White American crowd who actually have plenty of money and resources to buy whatever they want that choose those places because they want something for nothing so they can still feel like their living in luxury. They don't mind living around the locals if it means they can still live like Upper class. Just like in the stated in poor areas that get gentrification.

Gorgeous place. gorgeous apartment and thanks for sharing it

WELCOME TO MEDELLIN 🎉On March 17, TIME magazine included Medellin among the 50 best destinations in the world in 2023. And in January THE NEW YORK TIMES also included Medellin among the 50 best destinations in the world in 2023. ❤ Medellin is the #1 city in quality of life in Colombia, it has already surpassed Cartagena in international tourists, also Medellin is an intelligent tourist destination and is a special district of science, technology and innovation.

Nice video. I hadn't even thought about moving that far out from a city.

Wow, I must say I am loving your place. That terrace in your livingroom is amazing!! I love it. I'm going to have to visit there. Thank you.

I'd say the landscape and weather of that area in Columbia matches best with Northern California. Considering that you're about an hour outside of a major city, I'd compare it to somewhere like San Ramon, CA (about an hr away from San Francisco). If we compared the price of a unit like that in a suburb of a major city in California, it would probably run you about $3000 a month. I'm thinking about going to school for an associate degree of some sort, so I can get a nice high paying digital Nomad job. I'm tired of working my ass off, just to live paycheck to paycheck in a broke down 1 bedroom apartment.

I would like to come and see your place and rent it, if it's not available perhaps you could tell me something similar in that area. One question, you go out a lot to eat, are there restaurants nearby or do I need to hire my own chef? Thank you very much.

$250 USA is over a billion Colombian dollars. The average income is $10 a day. I believe an apartment on a mountain in the USA is more than $2000. New York City is $10,000 a month for something like that.

We are retired and want a walkable city so we don’t need a car. We are kind of looking at Manizales. We are currently living in Nicaragua. But, wow…what a great apartment.

@CaleMcMartin That $700 is for an unfurnished apartment, right? I assume if you had plans to put it on AirBnB, you bought and own all that furniture.

Here in New York that apartment would be 20k per month

How do you do air bnb? You rent long term, then sub let? Cheers.

this place is unreal! where is it?

How much are the one bedrooms out there?

how much to buy?

What would this cost to purchase? 3.3mil a month seems steep for this property.

Would this be safe for young family how do you find houses?

As it is today, Tuesday, Oct 3rd, 2023. Is it still $700 rent (a month) for that place?

In Philadelphia it would cost way more about $3000 to $3500

It's the view for me

do you have reliable and fast internet?

What do u do 4 transportation ,

3200 in CA. What’s the safety like ?

Lovely apartment! How do you feel about living in the same neighborhood as Uribe. AKA MATARIFE. Watch the documentary where his life is narrated since he started in politics as a drug dealer, later he bacame a president and he is been investigated for a genocide of over 10,000 innocent people.

You talking about air b and b $2000 a month. There is no way you are only paying 700 a month long term rental. And Puerto Rico is so much more expensive. So this doesn’t add up.
