    I visited Cartagena last year. It was my first South American trip abroad, and I enjoyed it. I just visited medellin 2 weeks ago. I'm originally from NYC, and Medellin is the first city I've visited in all my travels that I absolutely fell in love with, so much so that I'm planning to live there for 3-6 months temporary. Medellin is a city on the come up, Columbia has a tremendous amount to offer the rest of the world. This is a thriving city that will only continue to thrive in the next 10 years, I'm looking to invest in medellin in the very near future. I absolutely fell in love with that nature, geography, culture, and people of medellin.

    Medellin has already surpassed Cartagena in international tourists, confirmed by Colombian migration in September 2022, also Medellin is one of the 3 smart tourist destinations in Latin America. even in January 2023 THE NEW YORK TIMES included Medellin among the best 52 destinations in the world in 2023.

    Really great video! I need to visit there soon. I went to Bogota in August of 2022 and it was absolutely spectacular! I used Uber, I walked everywhere in between, and not once did I ever feel unsafe... anymore than I do here in the states.
    My gf is from Venezuela and she said it was a world of difference than back home. I was surprised that I was meeting quite a bit of Koreans and British people that lived there as well. Truly a marvelous country, just use your common sense as you would ANY country. No dark alleys, no walking alone late at night, don't be too flashy with jewelry.

    Israel. Believe it or not, my wife and I went to Colombia in 2018. Many family members thought we were nuts. Colombia and Medellin has an infamous reputation for drugs and danger. We went to Bogota, Cali, Medellin, and Cartagena. We had a great time. We want to go back... even to do RECON. We may end up relocating to Colombia...either Colombia or Mexico.
    Everyone we know calls us nuts. They don't really know what Colombia is about

    Israel... I have been following your videos for almost 2 years now. your quality is so excellent. I keep sharing your videos with all my friends. you deserve to have so many more views for your efforts. I am a Canadian that has been living in Mexico for almost 2 years now. but now that travel has returned mostly to normal now I want to go to some different countries and Colombia is high on my list, so thanks so much for doing the series of videos from your trip here. Latin America seems like it is very much on the rise and places like the US and Canada are in decline. my family thinks I am crazy to live in Mexico and my mother will probably have a heart attack if I go to Colombia! I am glad I am like you and curious about the world rather than afraid of it. cheers!

    Hi Israel. I'm watching more of your videos.
    I was in Medellín three times. In 2017, 2019 and 2022. Each time it was a little bit different.
    In August 2022 I definitely felt the digital nomads who have made it their favorite Colombian city. You hear a lot of English on the street. You see menus in English. And you have to listen to people doing business on their phone in a restaurant while you're having breakfast.
    Each time I was there it rained a lot. City of eternal spring or eternal rain?
    Medellín is a lovely city that has very successfully reinvented itself. But I also think it's become too popular for its own good.

      ​@@IsraelPlata Medellin is messier? If Medellin is #1 in quality of life, on the other hand, Barranquilla doesn't even have a sewage system. Every time it rains, the whole city floods. You can tell that you only got to know the wealthy part of Barranquilla. Get to know the remaining 90% of the city and tell us what seem to you? It's just misery, chaos and abandonment, you can even still see horses loading rubble onto carts down the street.
