    Mate, hope your channel continues to grow. Your videos are really impressive and when I see all these impressions, I know once again why I fell deep in love with this country.
    Sad but true, the same cannot be said for my old home. In the western world, and especially here in Europe, many people are losing part of their joy in life. Higher, faster, further, and you don't even allow the mouse a little piece of cheese. Who drives a bigger and newer car? How often has the neighbor been on vacation this year? And are people really happier and more satisfied as a result? No, not really. I know both sides, having a lot, enough to live on and then losing it all again.
    I can't do this anymore, I don't want to do this anymore and instead of material things, bad feelings, worries and fears, I listen to my heart. My inner compass points in one direction, and that is Latin America. I still have a lot of work to do to improve my Spanish. And at the same time, I have the most wonderful woman by my side and with her an equally lovely family. Please stay as you are and if we ever run into each other in Colombia, you are cordially invited to have a cold drink.
    El que sigue la huella no se pierde. Mio Amigo, como siempre, muchos saludos (aún) desde Alemania.

      Dont beleive colombians blindly, almost 90% colombians are liars and cheaters. iam telling about my experience. I also loved one medellin girl blindly on social network, later i knew that she has a boyfriend and also a daughter already but before that already I lost around 2000 dollars by giving to her before knowing her cheating works. They act like good persons and well mannered but in reality they are trained cheaters and liars And YOU FROM WHICH COUNTRY ?

  • @SPCPerez19Delta

    That's what I want to see. The people of Medellin embracing English (just not some of the western customs) so that they have more opportunities. You can see that young girl has ambition and most importantly SHE HAS VISION and FORSIGHT!!
    She's going places! This is amazing what you're doing Joel. This is what I wanted to do in 2025 and you've beat me to it!

    Hi Joel - Thanks for sharing, I'm always interested in donation opportunities, but I need to know more about this org. Specifically, when solo old men from America, Europe etc. show up to volunteer to spend time with children there, does this org conduct thorough background checks with law enforcement from their home country?

    I spent the last 15 months in Medellin my visa expired and i left two daya ago. Watching this video gives me withdrawals i only been gone two days and missing Medellin already. I will be back once the new year comes so i will het another six months visa. Life in the USA is misrable especially after experiencing live in Colombia. I gotta figure out how i can live there forever. AK can I ask you what visa did you obtain and howblong did your visa last. How complicated was applying for your visa. Next time im in Colombia i probably need to find a wife ao i can stay forever

I am in Europe and try to find a way to move my earnings from online sources and be able to live in the countries where I have family members, Colombia being one. Would love to help this girl and her family whenever I’ll be back in Colombia and maybe she can meet my daughter and build a beautiful friendship.

Oh well, there is always next time. I am definitely will be returning to Medellin.
