''the most dangerous thing about Medellin is the traffic" i used to have mini heart attacks crossing roads in Medellin.

Good to hear from an informed Colombian.

It was nice to meet you earlier this yea in Medellin, very pleasant surprise! And that language exchange at the dance studio was really fun! I'll be trying to go back soon. I owe you a drink :)

Nailed it 😎 🇨🇴💛💙❤

21:48 I mean, those girls gotta get that money someway I don’t blame them ….

I can't wait to go

My favorite channel on RU-vid right now. No exaggeration. Great stuff. Please bring back the weekly live. =p

Limonada de Coco has to be the best drink ever. And I love limonada de panela. Not a huge beer drinker but I love Águila. As far as the food it was just okay but I’m also from the Southern United States. When I move there in June I will try my best to think of the food from a new perspective, try different places, and keep an open mind!

I have lived in Medellin for two years. The rental cost especially for furnished Airbnb's in Medellin are becoming borderline reprehensible

Maybe I missed it. But what is the cost of living there? I've heard a lot of comments, but there were no numbers given that I can recall now.

great video good information, thx. how did u feel the vibe in El Centro as far as safety goes?

Another great video! Loved this one

The fact that Pasta tuition is in the constitution is hilarious... life, liberty and the pursuit of Fat Bottomed Girls (Queen song).

Thanks for the tips; I was in El Centro today right outside San Antonio station and "Que los Menos" worked like magic. I bought a baseball cap for $28000 after the vendor first asked for $35000

Just broke up with fiancé ready to go

Great video Andrew. This was awesome!

Andrew, this was such an informative and enjoyable video; great mix/balance in that regard👏🏼. Gracias parce👊🏼✌🏼

where is meda Yeen?

Wow, Philipe speaks English very well. I wish my online teachers were as fluent 😢, but great information prior to a visit if not necessarily a precursor to moving there. Thanks for the highlights and keeping it real.

We're going to the Medellin sports bar in laureles tonight for the basketball game

I will be going to Medellin soon, and have some questions. What is the best way to contact you?

Great video! I'm starting to think you make new channels cause you forget your passwords to the old ones :) I'll keep finding and following.

Great content Andrew...I was in Medellin recently for 2 weeks. Traveling solo I felt safe. Entering Parque Lleras was interesting where the police checking ID. One challenge was restaurants and my lack of Spanish. Restaurante Mondongo's was easier. I enjoyed the small coffee shops. To revisit I would definitely take a online language lessons.

Single Women with No Fathers taking care of their Children and no system of child support enforced . It's in the Culture and Legal so what should they do? Tourists feed their kids.

how much did the beer cost in US dollars?🤔

Can a single guy get by on 2500 retirement check per month ?

I was in Medellin for 10 days and my breakfast place was Mundo Verde in centro Oviedo. Crepes and Waffles was also a good choice, The foods is cheaper in the centro for about 2 to 3 usa dollar but not that great.

Im a CTG boy but my wife lives in Meddy so now I will be coming to Medellin. I’m going to download your masterclass

I 100% support Andrew. But, people are Not as friendly as you claim! The women are friendly, but the men no! I I'm male. lived there for two and a half months and I'm a very friendly guy. Most men were Not friendly to me - maybe because I do not speak Spanish. 95%, of people do not speak English. They do not even know what to say , so they come across as not friendly. Believe what you want, it 's not relevant until you go there and experience for yourself. It does feel good to be generous and kind to people because it's true, people have difficult lives. And yeah, the food IS bad. It's fried in oil, not good. Just an opinion.

You covered all topics accurately. You don't sugar coat things and that makes your content better, in my opinion. Did Felipe live in the US? his english is really good for a local. Even if you attend a bilingual school over there; you don't get to speak that well; unless he attended one and also lived in the US. You both have a good sense of humor.

I love your half gringo/half Colombian vibe. It's fascinating.

man really kick butt content. feel like Medllin would be like Broward Dade, La, Houston, Vegas, Ny, Boston type vibes. u make your own. speak the language fluent. and keep it pushing no headphonesI just put musin on speaker and laptop in backpack they try take it give it up I can buy another one. or get licenced gun check the laws. idk lets just follow our dreams n hearts desire guys. it might get us killed but we were going to die anyways lol

I almost got Deleted in Colombia. Thank God I survived the attack! Never again!

You’ve been out of the States for too long. Homelessness is rising and there is no relief unless you’re an illegal immigrant. But if you’re born here, no help! So it is not worse in Colombia.

I was there two weeks ago for 10 days and I gained 4 pounds!! The food is good!

Andrew is obviously a good guy and excellent presenter, but don't follow his buddy's advice and walk around downtown at 3 a.m. wearing ear phones while thinking you "haven't a worry in the world." Let's hope that beer he's throwing back was one of several for the day, and that he didn't mean what he said. If he's serious then he'll get jacked again eventually. And though Andrew is slow to acknowledge this, safety is very often different for gringos. Some, mostly because of certain physical characteristics, simply can't blend in. They are ripe targets whether they are doing the "dar la papaya" thing or not. There's different dynamics involved, though of course Colombians are also victimized. When that happens they typically blame themselves, as that's all they have given that there's so little law enforcement. But even Andrew's buddy Joel admits that the gringo experience is different. He, as he acknowledges has a look that could at least pass for a South American, yet he also admitted that he's harrassed much more when walking around with an obvious North American. Beggars will wait outside a business all afternoon for us to come out, but not for Andrew. Thieves and every variety of dishonest person there profiles us as well, and yes, that does apply to guys like me that dress down, don't wear jewelry, and don't display phones in the street or larger bills when making purchases. And before anyone says "I've been there such and such many times and never had any trouble, and my friend can say the same," well that simply doesn't prove anything. It's a very small sampling of data while one's fortunes can change. Also government data is about useless as most robberies there go unreported. It's true that you can reduce risk, but you cannot eliminate it. As to the prostitutes, I personally see little difference between guys who seek these out and late 30s, 40s, 50s guys who use their economic advantages to leverage a cute young girlfriend. Polite arrangements are polite but arrangements nonetheless. Also those guys, though they are judging now, will probably also want to get some action in their 60s and 70s. They are headed there as well, and quickly if they last. Early 40s now and complaining about those "old" guys? Blink and you're 60. I promise. 😄😉 PS I want to take a moment to praise Andrew for his habit of publishing comments that offer real challenges to his content. Many screen their comments in order to control the narrative and avoid answering the tough questions. This creates a slanted picture that serves their own ends.🙃

Too many because they have plenty of customers. There have always been working girls there but years ago they were for the locals and different and then it was discovered…another problem and not intended for you is that there are way too many RU-vidrs promoting things there. Give food not money to the homeless or like you said to organizations that help.

Take me to Colombia Lord Jesus I Pray thankU heavenly Father God Amen... Cheerz from Auckland New Zealand 🇭🇲

two colombians talking about how safe it is to walk around anytime of night...ya for you. plus the one dude literally almost got murdered for no reason...screaming its safe ahaha okay

First comment lol
