Highlights
💼 People are leaving the USA for Medellin despite negative perceptions, driven by factors like social connections, healthcare, and cost of living.
🌎 Lack of culture and social connections in the US, coupled with increasing divisiveness, make life in Colombia more appealing.
💉 Affordable and quality healthcare in Colombia, with services like appointments with specialists and access to prescription drugs at low prices.
🥳 Vibrant social life in Colombia attracts middle-aged expatriates who find it difficult to meet people in the US, leading to a sense of community and belonging.
💰 Lower cost of living in Colombia allows for a higher quality of life compared to the US, making it possible for individuals to afford luxuries they couldn't in their home country.

I currently live in the San Francisco Bay Area (Walnut Creek). I've been in Medellin since mid-November. I went back to my hometown, Atlanta for the holidays. I remember when I was heading to Medellin in November, my kids called me worried about the crime here. I had to inform them that there were 3 armed robberies in my town of Walnut Creek, THAT DAY. Not that week or month, but that very day. WC isn't San Francisco or Oakland.
I am considering coming back to live. I've loved the last 4 months here. I've met great friends. I would relocate here for these reasons.
1. Healthcare - I am now on Medicare. My healthcare payments are over $690 PER MONTH, with a $2000 deductible. The amounts are based on my income two years ago. I was laid off in June last year. No income now.... I paid into Medicare "Insurance" for 50 years.
2. Cost of Living - My condo is expensive. Everything is expensive, especially in California. I will be relocating somewhere, because I have no need to be in CA these days. Medellin and Colombia are beautiful.
3. There is a lot to do here. I have expat friends here as well as Colombian, now. I can see the draw for retiring here.
Ah yes I dated a girl from Walnut Creek back when I lived there in 2006. Nice place, but yeah it can get pretty boring. Lol
The US is still the best country in the world. People just want a bigger bang for their buck. Plus Colombia is a beautiful country.
1000% agree to the T.
Most accurate video out there and the exact reason why I want to move to Medellin
You’re not welcome here.
@@colombiancrushing by blood I have every right 🖖🤙
@@experiencesbyjesse3688 not with your American bs attitude.
Another great video, my friend. Sorry about your problems in the U.S. And yes, Colombia has its problems, but Colombia also gets a lot of things right that the United States gets wrong. My first vist to Colombia (in the 90s), I was in shock with the cultural importance of family and celebrations. We just do not have anything in comparison here. It is just not part of our culture. Thanks for sharing.
Here in Jardin..no smog
Jardín is beautiful
120% agree with all, however, every good thing comes to an end and the authorities are starting to tighten regulations due to all the bad apples who ruin it for all the others. It is inevitable as it happens in other locations worldwide!
so True! I whatsapp all 3 of my Doctors en Medellin
It’s healthcare 1, cost of living 2, and social life 3… for me!!
But living yes, but working in medellin is hell. how to make money online fast?
You’re absolutely right Brother it is very hard here in the United States to have a relationship with a woman they flip-flop a lot here in the United States. I love my country. But it is real freaking hard to have a relationship with a woman. I’ve been here all my life. And it is very difficult. To have a long relationship with a woman here.
I love Colombia 🇨🇴 forever
Can i get high speed internet?
Yes
I get 300 mega in Medellin 😊
1:28 Ofendido 😂
Be curious to hear your input on the Medellín mayor pushing against AirBNBs with the stance that it is running up pricing on housing and less availability of housing for locals.
I haven't heard of the mayor proposing any law changes towards AirBnBs. I tried looking that up right now and nothing. Where did you get the info?
@@MedellinBuzz Two days ago after meeting with AirBNB reps he announced they were taking steps that if anyone was committing crimes(underage sex, drugs, murder) in the AirBNB that the state would be able to confiscate the property.
Yea. I’m one of them. I’m in Atlanta and the crime couldn’t be as bad as it is here. I’m VERY aware of how certain people move, I know how to keep my head on a swivel and I know how to mind my business.
Good ol common sense! Oh yea, I’m in the beauty biz and won’t get punch drunk about great looking women… that’s how I’ve paid my bills for the past 30 years. Beautiful women pay me for a living. So I’ll be there in a couple weeks and hopefully Medellin is still seemingly a good fit for me long term.
Medellín has 4 million people !?😳
Within the metropolitan area.
we getting a live tonight big bro?
Don't be afraid - Be Smart peeps
The sad thing is that local colombians are not happy seeing gringos moving to Medellin, especially male colombians because the rent and mortgage in places like El Poblado and Laureles which is ( gringo's favorite ) have increased their prices a lot. While this is convenient for sex-expats and digital sex nomads, it's not a happy news for the colombianos because now local cannot afford to live in El Poblado or Laureles. On top of this, food prices at supermarket and restaurants have also increased. But Andrew does not make the rules, therefore it's not his fault. Continue your good work MedellinBuzz Andrew.
well not Medellin, but the caribbean coast. More specificly Santa Marta Region ... but yes ... as a father of 3, grand father of 11 sarcasticly I am estabishing a beachhead in the event they need to escape as refugees
but in truth and reality, I prefer the people the food, the climate, and my wife and I have dreamed for 40 years to retire to a beach ... Colombia makes that possible ... we LOVE it there .... so far ... we'll see as time progresses in decades
I'd give a supportive comment, BUT there's a 99.99% chance YT will just delete the opinion. They don't like the satire of my name 😂
I'm so glad I left that mess too ❤❤❤🎉
