    Colombia es un país hermoso que tristemente años de violencia del pasado empañaron. Aconsejo va cualquiera sobretodo visitar la Colombia interior, y sus gentes. Saludos

    I was in Cartagena and Medellin in July next Time I would like to travel solo seems like a great experience since I am also independent. In Medellin we meet a lot of solo travelers and love the way they travel hope I enjoy the same ones i travel solo

      Boring jobs here and there. If you make traveling a priority its easy to save up for it. Traveling to cheaper countries also helps!

    I can't believe you were in Colombia and you didn't visit "eje cafetero". You missed the best and more icnonic and original part of our country!

    I'm going to bogota and Medellin in January, but I'm on a low budget, I will travel on my own, how much do I have to spend for (cheapest possible) motel, food etc.?I am there for 6 weeks

    • @AleksandrRikhterman
      @AleksandrRikhterman  Před 7 lety +6

      I spent $1500 for my four weeks in Colombia. My itinerary with price breakdown will give you an estimate for how much things cost over there - greenmantravels.com/greenman-itineraries/colombia-itinerary/

    great vid....and I have to say Olga at 70?! climbing those hills? that's a strong woman and young at heart. Colombia is a great country everybody is so friendly. I have only been to Medellin and the surrounding area and Bogota but everybody I came across was very nice and helpful.

    What a great video! I was interested in the Bogota to Medellin portion because I'll be travelling to Colombia August 10th for the first time and this gives me a better idea of what to expect! It seems similar to the Dominican Republic. I've been there 15 times.

      +TheFrizlar YT Thank you so much! I do some research on Wikivoyage before hand but then I pick up other cool sights to see from the people I meet along the way.

      @bailey_jc Před 8 lety

    • @AleksandrRikhterman
      @AleksandrRikhterman  Před 8 lety

      +TheFrizlar YT Right now, I have no idea. But I have some thoughts and ideas for epic new shows and episodes. Like my page on facebook to stay up to date on my adventures - facebook.com/greenmantravels

    What is so special about solo travelers? There are large flocks of tourists everywhere. Like traveling on a charter.

    How do you raise the money to travel, bro? Loved the vid btw

    • @AleksandrRikhterman
      @AleksandrRikhterman  Před 7 lety

      Thanks. My trip to Colombia occurred over the winter break when I was in college. I had a part time job and saved up everything I could. Travel is not expensive if you make it a priority, do you research on affordable destinations, and put away some money every now and then to it.

    Nice vid! Please stop saying Cartagena with a "nia" sound at the end. That isn't correct. It is Car-ta-hen-a.
