A year from now, are we going to get a why I'm not going back to Poland video?

Im living here in medellin almost 5 years, and i only can sugest that don’t be dumb and freely trust everyone, that’s the issue of pple that come here.

I appreciate how you able to change your POV and present your view f reality as you travel and mature.

In my opinion the guys who come to consume women and drugs are actually the smarter ones. They saw Medellin for what it was early and didn't commit their life and time to a project of trying to grow in a city that is there to take from them. The foolish ones dig their heels in and continue the slow decline. Its better operate to treat medellín as a transaction because they look at you the same way.

I’m a Colombian who’s lived in America most of his whole life. I’m bilingual and can speak perfect Spanish and you couldn’t pay me enough to move there. Being an American citizen is something I am extremely thankful for.

Great stuff bro, alot of valid points, keep it up! 👏

Regarding safety - after just getting burglarized for the 2nd time in two years, both happening by thieves climbing in through my 2nd floor windows in the middle of the night while I was sleeping - you won’t get any argument from me. Still two years left on my visa so I’ll probably stay in country, but very anxious to get the hell out of Medellín…

Thanks for your honest and balanced perspective Wes!!

I can’t speak on Medellin that much because I live 5 hours south in the Coffee Triangle . It very peaceful and quiet and I doubt in my lifetime it will ever be any different. I wouldn’t live anywhere else in the world.

Medellín is a disaster.. but I've never liked the city since my first visit in 2018. It's more dangerous and ridiculously expensive. I live in the countryside..it's chill. I love living here.. but I speak Spanish as well. My guy is Colombian and the tourism boom helps his Spanish school 😅 so it's ebs and flows like anywhere.. spot on about realistic living here it's not easy and it's def not safe esp in big cities

Thanks Wes for being honest. You’re the real deal. Don’t apologize for creating product and services! Everyone has to make money!🎉❤

Wes, I love your videos. You're honest about the way things are and don't sugar coat the facts to make it look better than it is. Always interesting to hear the locals take on things too.

I'm really glad I discovered your channel. I have followed a lot of other channels that deal with Colombia but yours has a refreshing honesty. And you're not lazy in terms of trying to offer well thought out perspectives.

I am a Colombian living in Philippines. I watched your video about your ex wife and I think is good you finished that bad experience. I agree with many things you said about my country. Thank you for sharing your experience

Insightful video! Thanks for sharing!

You are a real informative RU-vidr, so keep it real!

I just got back from Bogota, I never went into the tourist area because you will pay tourist prices. I actually only saw one group of tourist. It was very very sketchy going out. I also had a very good time there!

Facts, I feel relatively safe in colombia because my reference in the US isn't your normal one, so watching my environment is pretty normal. I do it in my sleep. I also find trusting anyone difficult, because I know the culture here and I think I'm fine with that because I never lie to myself on how it is. The women..... they are very beautiful, but to be honest once you know how a lot of them think you realize the chase isn't worth it. Even with all those negatives I enjoy living here, I just don't fool myself thinking this place is a Utopea. I think all your points is valid and reporting how things really are in Medellin could help people not be fooled. Keep it up!!

Thanks for the honesty Wes

The one thing I totally agree with is the prices have went through the roof , I live in nyc so me paying 2k for a nice apartment is fine BUT that’a becoming suburbia prices in the USA Same with resturaunts - prices way way way up

Wes I agree with you 100%. Traveled to Colombia many times. Speak fluent Spanish. Everything Wes is saying is true. Listen to him guys.

Thanks!

The safety concern as you get older is def true. I used to ride motorcycles a lot in LA/OC traffic actually evrryday to work. Nearly died more time than I can remember like half a second away several times. And riding motos are so fun but i just had to think once i took a step back do i really want to go out like that? The chances are just so high and yea i have gone 2 yrs with no accidents but i know ppl who have died and friends with multiple accidents. Reminds me of ur colombia example. Ive been all over latin america and thought of moving to a few countries and looking back I think its not worth it. You made it out alive and i have too in my brief travels and it is a beatiful part of the world but again it only takes one time and i look back and think how crazy i was walking around medellin and rio solo at 3 am lmao. Id love to go back but with moving smarter. Surprisingly the middle east is no where near as dangerous. The older we get the more we realize we need to be responsible and reduce risk not just for our sake but our loved ones

I moved to Colombia two years ago to open a business. I have traveled to over 40 countries and most of them have been in Asia. I am not going to criticize your point of view because no one can change the way that you feel. I watched your channel and some things I agree with and some things I don’t. I have been to Japan over 65 times and worked and lived over there but I still chose Medellin. The barrier of entry to start a business was good, healthcare system, proximity to the USA and the culture. My Spanish is decent and I study daily. I can understand your reasoning for not wanting to return to Colombia. I wish you the best. I understand the dangers because I grew up in South Central LA back in the mid 80’s. I don’t drink, smoke, do drugs nor really party but I do like to salsa dance. I personally love my life in Colombia and I do not try to convince people to come to Colombia who have safety concerns. I think that people should come to a country for a purpose and good people will come into their lives. I love SE Asia as well. I retired early from corporate American in my mid-40’s and I wanted to start a life experience and enjoy the rest of my life. I found peace and joy in Colombia. I have been married twice and I have adult children and one teen. I am a Black American and disabled veteran. I would have chosen Japan to retire part time but Colombia appealed more to someone in my condition because my chronic condition requires medications that I always have to get special permission from the Japanese Health Ministry to possess in that country. I saw one of your videos about different races and dating in other countries. I actually never had trouble dating in Asian countries, European countries or anywhere in the world. So I disagreed with your assessment in that regard. My second wife is Japanese and daughter is half Japanese. I will continue to watch your channel because I enjoy hearing your perspectives. Wherever you decide to settle in life, I wish you the best.

Hey Wes when you go back to Colombia, please visit Bucaramanga

It was a good experience for you personally and professionally. Times change.

Colombians wont like this comment and maybe you either: BTW, great video, and summary and I like that you dare to be real and honest (I hope you also were honest in your videos when you lived there). At first, I thought the title was just clickbait but then I realized there is big value in your content. Here are my agreements and observations: 1) You bring a lot of facts and what you said and showed is true: one can get scammed or robbed and in general the legal system doesn't work very well. As a Colombian, I got used to not using my phone on the streets for example. Unfortunately, I confirm all you mentioned is true. This is sad. I am also sorry that you had to go through this. 2) You also moved there for the women, let's say it clearly and be honest. And we have a term to address those people: basically, you are what we call " un gringo putero" even if you are not "paying" in a traditional way. I am sure you understand the term and probably I am not the first one telling you this. In Medellín, even at hotels, they write signs stating that "it is forbidden to bring external people in the room". And signs are written in English, so just imagine the amount of men going there for this same reason. Yes, like you. 3) As "un putero", when you go to a country for the wrong reasons (sex, drugs, doing whatever you cannot do back home), you will meet the wrong people as well. You will surround yourself with the ones that are in those industries or the ones looking for the same. It is a vicious circle. In Colombia, we rely a lot on recommendations. We do business with people that we trust, we even hire plumbers that someone recommended, etc. But for that, you need to get in the circle of the good people, that, unlike the guy that you interviewed in the video, the good people are 80%. But you were in an environment controlled by the rest of the 20%. Or... just be honest and accept that you are just doing sketchy things. What I dont like is that you went to Colombia with sex tourism motivation and then you expected your experience to be perfect, moral and pure. Yes, in prostitution, sex, parties with drugs, heavy alcohol...there is where people get exposed. 4 foreigners died in the last week. Can you provide context? Were they the people learning Spanish and going to museums? or were they the ones buying cocaine in Parque Lleras? 4) Since you moved there for the women and you said: "If you take out the women, what is left in the country?". Wtf bro? This is when I say that you moved for the wrong reasons. You lived 3.5 years and were not able to find anything else? You dont mention for example cultural aspects such as the music and dances, the African and Indigenous influence, diversity, festivals such as Barranquilla Carnival, leyenda vallenata or Feria de las Flores, the cute heritage towns such as Mompox, the literature of Gabriel García Márquez and his magical realism. Off course, you missed all of this because you spent the time in Medellín saying random rehearsed pickup lines and negs to get women. Colombia is one of the biggest hub for musicians, many of them have sung in the Superbowl or football (with the feet) World Cup. Great landscapes and great people. What else did you want? 5) Dating coaches: you mention that now in Poland it doesnt work that well. Let me tell you something: you didnt need to hire a dating coach to be able to talk and pick up women in Medellín. Just because of being a foreigner and going to the clubs where women seeking a better future go, you could basically just recite the ingredients of your shampoo and the result would have been the same. But to get ones that dont like you for the illusion of money, you need to be a real high-value guy. Not just because you say you are or because a dating coach tells you to post things that "pretend" you are. In Poland, it is different because they are less desperate for a better future. But I dated in the past several Polish women and have great friends from there. I do think they are very friendly. If you didnt find it yet is because you got used to people being nice with you because of the money and because you pretend this high value thing. 6) Taking advantage of poverty, to make a city a personal whore house, is miserable 7) Now that you dont live there, you seem affected by the statistics of single moms. I almost bought that you care. You did not care about it when you were looking for women there right? So dont pretend a fake morality bro, just be honest like some people in the comments that say that the smartest people are the ones that go there for sex and drugs and dont expect anything else. 8) To the people of Medellín: please stop overselling your city and telling everybody that it is the best city in the world and women are the hottest. This is what attracts gringos puteros and drug addicts

Medellín is far too dangerous to justify any benefits, you are completely right And I say this as someone who unfortunately there currently.

I am SO absolutely grateful for your experience and truth telling.

I'm Colombian, and I think you're saying a lot of facts.

Guys from good families seem to go to Colombia and hook up with poor girls from totally dysfunctional families. They wouldn't dare do this back home, but their intuitions are wrecked in Colombia because of the culture/language differences. If you go to Bogota and date graduates of Los Andes or Nacional, I think you'll be in a totally different world.

Do what makes you happy, I totally agree with your video, safety is priority.

I lived in Medellin 2021 till end 2023. I wasn't there for sex tourism or partying but I can say this publicly I agree with everything Wes has just said. Case and point if you're there for any length of time and you really do speak Spanish you will find out very quickly it is completely normal for Paisas to be paranoid of other Paisas. There is a very strong and present culture of "trust nobody" it's just a fact of life and any honest Colombian will agree with this statement. And this trust nobody perception exists literally everywhere in Colombia not just Antioquia.

Good content

Damn, that's wild (about the gettin' scammed part by multiple folks.) I'm guessing u have videos on it? I feel like that would be very educational for incoming travelers esp.

Nice to see some rational honesty about Colombia. Makes me sad to see so many guys still risking their lives going down there solo to meet women on Tinder…. It’s not worth it. I went in early 2020 just before the lockdowns and I haven’t had a desire to go back. Too many other places to see. Since you learned Spanish have you considered touring Spain? I’m sure that you could get a ton of great content from that country. I would personally recommend Italy as well and cities like Vienna, Prague and Budapest which are all gorgeous. Best of luck to you in your travels! Stay safe 👍

Appreciate the truth!

Love your honesty Wes. Prostitution is socially excepted in Paisa culture, it's not judged with a moralistic lenses.... Prostitution hold a valuable position within the Paisa social construct.... accepted as a realistic necessity of life. Why then is social media favouring the narrative that sex tourism is primarily the fault of foreigners? Sex tourism in Medellin is controlled by powerful "agencies"..... who benefits from this narrative?

Thank you for your professionalism and honesty because[…]👍🏿

You the Man 🫵 😎 Thankz for Sharing God Blessings ☝️

Don't say never

thank you for your honesty i like cali and bogota but safety is an issue

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿REAL. Quality. 💯💯💯💯

After Our talk. I still had to come one more time to make sure I was making the right decision. Just spent 1 month here and am leaving today. After spending this time here I can’t see my self here for the long term, for many reasons we discussed. I am glad to have finally make a final decision. Colombia has made me more great full for what I have already. Thanks brother!

We are still a third world country. Many people from the US want to come to Colombia to have fun living and expending with dollars, and of course is great, is cheap, people, most of it is friendly and welcoming, food is nice and you might find it welcoming to stay, which you can do. Unlike other racist countries we are not obsessed with race purity and we are open to mingle, most of us. That being said, if you guys want to live here in the long run, learn Spanish. Is the language of the land and in the same way if I migrate to an anglo speaking country without speaking English I'll be fucked up, guess what? Is the same here regarding OUR language. Dont expect people to speak English, most don't. There is also a current problem with sexual tourism and guys wanting to prey on Colombian women because of course, passport and dollar are strong, but of course, if you build up your personal relationships with others only based on this, the most likely outcome is to have very shallow and convenient people surrounding you. What else could you get from that dynamic? No significant links with real people, only a bunch of people applauding all what you do, even your wrongdoings. Absolutely you cannot get good friends or a significant relationship. I find your allegory of finding diamond among the dirt about the fact many beautiful women are also single mothers very unfortunate. Along with gentrification. Sadly many inmigrants or, how they like to call their selves "expats" being able to pay rents in dollar or euro displace the local population paying in pesos. This is something that should be taken care of. Colombia is a beautiful country, filled with amazing things, but in the long run if you want to live here, yes, we are a nation still in construction, security conditions are far from ideal and absolutely you should pay attention to your belongings more than you will usually do, this is not the normal thing, hopefully we manage to correct it in the future, but these things are not going to be solved easily and would require time. Colombia faces many issues, as any other developing countries, even more given our violent contemporary history. Regards.

Very informative video. Thanks for giving the darker side of the story too. I am a devout muslim who is South Asian. I have a shy, introverted personality. It's going to be so hard for me to find the right fit for all of these reasons.

My dad wants to live in Manizales and the safety part made me need to get a protection dog to help me out on my life in Manizales

curios how much does a rwstaurant sell for ? and what happened to the real estate company

When speaking of the men in the US, it reminded me of the book “Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man’s Soul” by John Eldredge.

Wes visiting Colombia again is gonna be crazy with some of the beef that’s been chalked up hahaha

So you left Colombia, are you still married to the colombiana? I was in Bogota 2022 for a month and liked it. Thinking about going back there, I’m from Puerto Rico so I do speak Spanish and with SSDI OF 3,000 a month should be enough to live comfortably

I will give you a positive comment. You have one of the very few objective channels about Colombia. Most are either pure BS (like Colombia is safe, the place to go for traditional women, etc.) or they overstate the dangers for views. You are spot on with all your comments and all your advice.

Been going for 7 years, more than 700 days there’s , everything he saying is true especially the last 8-13 months that country isn’t the same anymore, I just go to retouch my tattoos once a year there now for a fast trip, there’s better options unless you love drugs that’s about it

Respect.

as a Colombian i really appreciated this video because is becoming scary seeing herds of gringos comin in It is not fair for locals seeing prices going up while earning in pesos Best thing for Colombia is to welcome visitors but not people that want to settle enjoy the country for a short period of time and keep going to another countries like brasil argentina where safety is not as bad

So where are you moving now can you pls make a video of the safest country to live in

Wes again these specific youtubers are not wrong but sometimes they often mislead their titles such as finding your wife on Colombia when it's likely that they not married yet lol. I just think they misrepresent Colombia a bit and should taken into account with pros and cons of each country and depends if you want to move to another country or not same thing with Colombia. Guys you can move to Colombia if you ok with unpredictable safety but just like everywhere else as colombian guy spoke to me about. You can get your watch robbed in rich areas in London vs poor areas in Colombia. Obviously safety has to be the negative factor, but if you mind your business and don't papaya yourself into deep holes and you good. Obviously Colombia is a simple country and you should move to that country not just for women, but just for cheap lifestyle, good food, good people and chill vibes. It's a good country icl, but often again they hyped way too much after 2 days of stay and it's like dude just don't hype about country and actually post honest and real content like Life with David did.

Perhaps it's not just Colombia that's changed, in fact it has changed with new government, but you too have changed after your divorce, poisoning your opinion of Colombia. Just about everything you say now was true 3 years ago, and yet you pushed Colombia. You pushed Manizales... Which is a beautiful city BTW. My opinion is for people to travel, be smart and enjoy. If you put yourself in danger, you will find trouble for sure.

I remember traveling back in 2010, by 2016 it was already turning bad and you started to travel in 2017 so imagine how i feel when i got back to medellin now... for me its still good, its still fun but wow it was virgin bcak between 2010 to 2015... best hang outs of my life when i was barely in my early 30s. The city has become a sin city and if you look at miami, new york etc it will just keep getting worst i would still take a trip to medellin 10x before miami or the likes but it will never be the same as back then

You mentioned like 10 times those "specific RU-vidrs" but you didn't say who do you mean exactly... Otherwise it sounds like an unfinished sentence when you make a statement but you don't confirm it with facts. "Life of David" has gone mainstream now and is trying to make the same type of content like other RU-vidrs "Deep into hood" or "Colombian girl took me somewhere" since it is getting more views.

Do you think it's still worth going to Columbia for medical procedures? An under insured American would be un debt forever getting something like a knee replacement surgery here in the USA, but it seems attainable in Columbia.

Yes I think it's just best to stay away from medellín and Bogota bro. Other places are safer

As a Colombian, everything you are saying is true!

But like Colombia is WAYYYY more than just Medellin, Bogota has always been a different story

I'm an older, white, Canadian, English speaking male travelling alone. I'm debating where in the world to go for a 2 week trip. I've always wanted to go to Colombia, it looks interesting and very affordable but watching this I'm having second thoughts.

I feel like every 5-10 years people say the same thing 5 years ago is was a lot better and 5 years before that is was even better and I get it cause it was less touched my tourists and changed by tourists but it’s the same country

Appreciate your honesty I think medellin is done for Barranquilla santa marta is alot better in my opinion Also LATAM is so big colombia isn't the only country I think ur valid on the point of better looking women in other countries but u forget the affordability part colombia and argentina are the most affordable countries in south america that also have large city that's why nomads move their not only for the women

I spent a year as an exchange student in San Pedro Sula Honduras in 1996. What an epic experience! But the safety issue has led to my entire host family having relocated to Texas for their own safety on asylum visas. My host brothers had both been carjacked at gunpoint

did you become a Colombian citizen during your 4 years there? also, why didn't go to other Spanish speaking countries in Latin America?

I think we need to accept the FACT that most men use generosity, kindness and the ability to provide (lead with wallet) as their primary mating strategy. I don’t judge - this can work. But it may cost you $500/mo in Cambodia 🇰🇭 vs. $5000/mo in US. Most men are so busy working they don’t have time to work on “game”

dang 5 foreigners died in a week!? thanks for the warning

I am an Asian man living in the U.S. sine 60s, but I was born in China. I had few short marriages. My first wife was Filipina and she was the only Asian I married. Others were all Latinas. I have dated different races of women in my life. I had an Asian girlfriend briefly. I was never attracted to Asian women because most of them were short and skinny. I am 5’11 and I didn’t like any woman under 5’3. There was not many Asian where I went to school either. So I dated mostly White and Latina. Here are my opinions on women of different races: I grew up in Los Angeles ghetto with majority blacks so I didn’t have much social life or friends until later in life after college. ******This summarized my over 30 years of dating experiences. ***Asian women in U.S. - Most women preferred white men. Perhaps wanted to assimilate more into American culture. ***White women - Not surprising, most are liberal and career oriented. They were not family oriented nor were they domesticated. I also did not trust their faithfulness for long term relation. **Most white women preferred not to date outside their race. Unfortunately, those who dated Asian man also were opened to other races including black. I met some white women thru dating site, and some thru professional organization and activities. I was not 100% successful but I had several advantages: I am not that short at 5’11, I have a muscular body, and I had a professional job and my own home.. I do have several disadvantages as many Asian men - I am shy, introverted, and do not drink and not very outgoing, and did not fit the party bad boy image. ***Latina in U.S. - They were not racist like some white women. Not many had higher education. Most had children at young age, and had responsibilities for their parents. Some had families in their own country to support. Their values have changed if they have been in the U.S. for some time. ***Black - I was not attracted to their looks or culture. Very few blacks took care of themselves. ***Asian women in Asia - Most are gold diggers. They just wanted a green card. ***Eastern European whites - Poor and desperate, gold diggers. Eastern Europe cities are not safe places to travel to and too far from the U.S.. *****Latina from Latin America. After several failed marriages with American women, I eventually discovered paradise from foreign dating site, and went on group tours and private trips to Latin America - Peru (Lima), Colombia (Bogota, Cali, Medellin). These 2 countries are more developed than others and they are within hours of flight. Colombians are more educated and modern than Peruvians. I speak good Spanish, went to Colombia more than 10 times on my own, and found my current wife in Bogota, I was 44, and she was 38. We have been happily married for over 15 years. She had 2 gown children remained in Colombia. NOTE: Latinas in Latin America were not discriminated against Asian men. To them I was another American. They didn’t care about age or look or what kind of work I did. To me Latina are the most beautiful and sexy women in the world. However, I was more realistic and practical than some men in my tour group as I was looking for a permanent partner close to my age, not more than 10 years younger. Some older men in their 60s were looking for women in their 20s and 30s. Many Latnas attended our group parties were in their early 20s. Latina from outside U.S. would make better partners and had not influenced by negative culture in the U.S. However, most had children at young age so be prepare to support them. This may be harder for younger man looking for wife.. By the way, I will never live in Colombia. It is too dangerous, even in Bogota. There is no place to go. Cartels are surrounding the country side. There is no protection. I could go anywhere in the U.S. You would not have the problem if you didn't try to establish yourself there.

I think the issue is that people talk about Colombia and really are talking about Medellín. I lived in Colombia off and on for 3 years and still go back to visit. I spent most of my time Bogotá and Eje Cafeteria. I would say the culture there is way different than Medellín. Even between Bogotá and Eje Cafetero the cultures are different. Medellín reminds me a lot of LA and Miami. Fake people who present themselves as more than who they really are and are looking anyway to make a buck. Eje Cafetero was way more laid back. Bogotá... well that city has its issues too. Let us just say it is different.

I love Colombia, beautiful places to visit, yet affordable. Tayrona park is very nice. I want to visit coffee region next.

bullshit, that guy was wrong when he said 60% of Colombians are good and 40% are bad, We Colombians are hard workers and also good people, the problem is that many forigners come here to smoke drugs, date prostitutes, and they met the wrong people. What is true is that there are some cities and depending on the area that you are, you got to be careful with your belongins. criminality is true, but I think some places in the USA are even more dangerous than here.

Good stuff. Following your videos since beginning. You made a lot of mistakes. But you learned a lot. Your blind love for Colombia in the beginning to your hate for Colombia later on. I thought you could make it here. But then again 90% people leave Colombia within 2 to 5 years. For many it is better to visit here than live here.

Integrity. It may impact your bottom line, but you are speaking the hard, cold truth.

Wes, I love how you can bash people but do so in a relatively polite and non offensive manner, jaja. In my life, when I observe someone being a d bag, I don't show them such respect.

Safety is a big issue in Colombia !!

as a Chino myself... Ill stick to Asia or the West. Why go to a country where you have to watch your back constantly? Culture matters. Thug culture is too much in Colombia and Venezuela.

Actually Colombia has rental control laws that have been in place. with all the people pumping this place up the tourist areas did not have the supply to handle the demand so the prices got crazy but that is only certain type of rental like Airbnb and serviced furnished short term apartments.everyone knows Colombia is not a Business friendly country

I live in Bogotá (the freezer). I can’t get this country out of my system. I married into a great family and love my life here, but there are real problems with poverty and crime that won’t go away. I take the good with the bad and for now, I’m staying.

You know what they say, "If they are rushing over here, then be cautious about rushing over there."

Colombia is a de facto anarchy. It takes almost 3 years on average to enforce a contract, with a cost of 50% of the contract value. Locals count on foreigners not sticking around for that long, and they will in any case spend any deposit, prepayment, loan or whatever you give them as soon as they can, so there will be nothing to gain from suing them.

Would you live in Spain someday? I guess it's safer and the currency is more stable than in Colombia. Also, you already speak Spanish

But theres more than Medellín, North of Bogotá is a second world place that got a population of 4 million people and a different culture! Anyway not all women in Medellín are that way, there are beauty woman that got a great honor culture just in there, Colombia has the two extremes, it all depends of what ur looking for! For example rural camp life is a dreaming life, theres is the best nature of the full world, see the intro of "las hermanitas calle" novela, there you could see camp life, we got three citys of rural life in the coffe axis or "eje cafetero", i recomend armenia! We got also 3 cities on caribean coast! That i recomend santa martha or cartagena, Maan! And tehere is more cities!!! About woman ive been living just love in here, it depends just of you!

Interesting listening to you talk about what percentage of people in Colombia are good and what percentage are bad! 🤣 I have wondered the same recently about Mexicans in Mexico! In my life I have never met 1 percent of the TOXIC people I've met living here in Mexico for the past two years! ESPECIALLY THE WOMEN! Of course there are good people, but in general it's been too easy to run into bad experiences. Crude, conniving, jealous, insecure, toxic people! Generally I don't get this vibe almost at all in my current village/town, but it's been my experience during most of my time living elsewhere in Mexico/Yucatan.

Yeah the rent is crazy now! I rent this Airbnb a year ago for 700$ now it’s 1600$ 😂😂😂😂 no way Jose

Gringos sex tourism has started to destroy Cartagena as well.

I think is a narrow view about just only one specific region in Colombia... every local guy knows how hard can be Medellin for some of them: women (some, not all), local culture, inflation due to gentrification (thanks to hedonistic foreginers, mostly), local chauvinism, the "traqueto" (narco) culture, etc.... I know people from outside Medellin saying they´ll never leave that city, other ones prefer just a short visits there... but if you want to leave, that´s ok. No city is perfect.

I'm Colombian and I agree with most what you are saying. But need to be said that when you are in bad steps ( easy woman, easy money all comes in one). Colombian people are friendly and helpful. that we have bad apples yes tell me where are not?. Moving to a country is not as easy as the new nomads think it is specially when the country is poor and money dictated the mood of the people. i will suggest to add to your video advise if you go and live in colombia need to surround your self with good , honest people. Take security seriously, Do not show your money and do not share personal information. If you are hunting for a woman the easy way will not lead you a good place. im not saying that a good , educated woman is going to be ok. is just like any part of the world. and the moto will be do not trust no body! always think bad and investigate, analyse and if is to good to be true move away!!

4:24 "if you take away the woman what's really left" weird thing to say bro.

Then he comes back

dude i like your videos & i like your persona - you are very spot on in your descriptions - you have a gift for articulating stuff about culture - but what I don't get is you make one statement about not going back to colombia, then at the end of the video, you say you'll go back for a visit ? why are you flip flopping like that ? do you know why typhoons in the Philippines are named after women ? because they keep changing directions. Don't be a Filipina dude - make a decision and stick with it.

Not for nothing Wes is a real Colombian respect man

does the ex's family still threaten you? make sense not going back to face angry crowd

Facts 🎉 why not Peru Zepita, Miraflores solid places in Lima It's better Go to romania, bucuresti Go to brazil Try dR sosua, santo domingo,punta cana, Santiago Go to africa ghana, Nigeria and South Africa ( for 100% safety go to Ghana ) Why go to a country where you can't pull up a phone to record There's no way colombia is safe The fact that you've been there twice or thrice does not mean you can't be robbed or drugged Look at the asian who got killed by his girlfriend wtf

I'm from Colombia and everything is absolutely true. I wouldn't say proportion of good / bad people is 60 - 40, I'd say is 75 - 25. But I'm definitely leaving soon because if the unsafe it is and goverment does not do anything to fix it. It's always the same and even worse.

Then they are complaining because many foreigners arrived and the experience is not like before. How ironic. From what I have been able to see in the videos of several RU-vidrs, more will continue to arrive.
