    Andrew, I live in Barranquilla, Colombia. A tropical city with all amenities of a big city with a tropical setting. While Barranquilla is not directly on the ocean, it has a developed riverfront area and is equidistant between Cartagena and Santa Marta ( one and a half hours from each). Talking about Santa Marta, it is the oldest city in Colombia and a smaller version of Cartagena. These days it is becoming a nomad worker destination and frankly, in my opinion, after coming to Colombia for 20 years, living here for six, it is mote appealing to me than Cartagena. Keep up the great videos!

    Tulum is getting an international airport. a tourist train is being built all the way along the Mayan Riviera coast. Tulum is getting much more touristy where u have inflated prices and rip offs in the tourist areas. best to stay with the locals where life is normal if u choose Tulum. a better place to live is Puerto Morelos (safe, ecologically protected with a good blend of expats and locals who work together. banks, big box stores and cheap local transportation ) It's about half hour South of Cancun and half hour North of Playa Del Carmen so u have the best of those small cities. It is a real gem!! If u live across the highway on the Mexican Colonia side instead of the tourist side (only 3 km fr the ocean) u can buy a brand new apartment for $25 000 USD or a new 2 bedroom house for around $30 000. Residency takes 4 years. Hire an immigration rep for less than $1000 CDN who will guide u thru it all.

We are eating very well. The DR is a massive food producer. A net food exporter. The vegetable anf fruit trucks pull up in frone of your house or close everyday with fresh picked produce. Huge grocery stores that look like Walmart Super Centers. This is a very modern place. Its assumed we live in jungle clearings in shacks. Uh No. Much more to come.

    1. I've always liked the Dominican Republic. Been there a few times. For me personally I like the cibao region. Santiago is a nice big city. Only downside for some is that it doesn't have a beach but the beach is an hour away. The government is also building a road to get to Puerto Plata faster from Santiago. Personally I wouldn't mind a passport from the DR. I know it's not the best but I don't plan on renouncing my citizenship in America so I'm considering it.
    2. Colombia I'm always going back and forth on. I want to do it but then I see men get roofies in their drinks or some other stuff happens and it turns me off. If I did go I would visit Barranquilla. I've read that a lot of that stuff doesn't go on there.

      That use to be true however the decades long Colombia-FARC conflict (civil war) ended back in 2016. I've visited Colombia on a number of occasions before and after the peace deal and can attest the dangers of killings, kidnapping largely committed by the Revolutionaries, are a thing of the past. For example, a friend of mine recently traverse the country by vehicle with wife and toddler son without problems. When I explained to him how incredibly unsafe that was just 4 years ago he was blown away. Before the 2016 peace deal that was very risky especially if you were a foreigner like he is. Even the capital of Bogota was not safe - well half of it. As I understood it, nearly half the capital was under FARC control and the other half Colombian government control. Colombians with the means largely flew between cities. Exceptions to that were travel between North coast cities of Cartagena, Barranquilla and Santa Marta. That said I do not know how long the current safety will remain with the influx of Venezuelan refugees. That withstanding, I think Colombia has begun its trek to becoming the next Chile.

      I know I'm not Andrew but I am Jamaican and I'm sorry to say but it is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to gain residency or citizenship in Jamaica. I live there half of the year and there are lots of Europeans (including Russians which are a new phenomenon), Canadians, Chinese, Indians and some Americans that have homes here and live here but they aren't recognized as permanent residents or citizens. Furthermore unlike other smaller islands you can not buy your way into Jamaican citizenship or residency. BTW, I think you will find that this is the same with most other well known British Common Wealth Countries. But with all that said I have to say THANK GOD THAT I'M JAMAICAN BY BIRTH! I have the best of both worlds. I'm an American citizen with a beautiful home in Jamaica. Everyone speaks English of course, we have beaches here but what is less talked about are our mountains and rivers. They are simply breathtaking. We are also a relatively safe island (yes there is crime but that's usually relegate to some unsavory communities). We also have the advantage of being a relative developed country compared to other Caribbean countries, but we have preserved a great deal of our natural beauty. The only thing that sucks is it can be expensive and the healthcare could be better. But thats where being a U.S. Citizen comes in handy. Miami is just 1.5 hours flight away. Hope this helps. Cheers🇯🇲🇬🇧🇺🇸

    Tulum is overpriced/namebrand if you ask me. There are better long term purchases in Mexico if you shop around. Puerto Morelos is probably a better long term purchase or really any of the smaller towns along the coast. Same beaches, cheaper prices, nicer people and all of them are growing as tourism spreads out and develops along the entire coast. In 10-20 years, that entire coast will be developed and become a major hub for tourists and expats, even more so than it is now...
