Discover the Truth: Is Colombia Safe for Expats?

Colombia is one of the most popular expat destinations in Latin America and the world despite its bad reputation. This country is considered by many the most welcoming place on Earth. In fact, travellers typically have a bittersweet feeling once they hop on the plane back home after staying in the country for a while. Here’s why:
From the colonial heritage mixed with the colourful houses of Cartagena to the vibrant cultural scene and modern infrastructure of Medellin and everything in between, Colombia has a lot in store. Whether you want to go to the beach or the mountains, to a small village or a big city, you can do it all cheaply.
Moreover, the food is amazing, and the people are hospitable and eager to learn from foreigners. This might come as a surprise, especially when you’re told that Colombia is a place of crime and violence. You might wonder, “Can I really make a home in Colombia?”
After reading travel forums and hearing the news, you always find tales of drug cartels and crime. It looks like Colombia is still a dangerous place, and all the positive aspects are never mentioned.
All these concerns are absolutely valid. As a Canadian myself, I’ve also made the decision to move to Latin America upon careful consideration. I currently live in Panama after years of living in one of the safest places on the planet, the UAE.
In this video, we'll delve into the truth about safety in Colombia for expats. Since there are many myths, I’ll provide you with valuable insights to help you navigate this beautiful country with confidence.

Although I live in Panama I have been to Colombia many times. I really like Medellin. Colombia is a great place to live or to visit. After having lived in Panana for 23 years I have become fluent in Spanish which really makes my visits to Colombia much better. I would recommend Colombia highly.

We have been to Boquete many times and it is always a wonderful trip. Honestly I would consider moving there, and probably will.

It's a great option, thanks for watching!

The autocue is a bit robotic sorry. It’s hard to listen to.
