    Hey bro great video l've booked 2 months there first time visiting, there's a lot of negative info pushing the fear of being robbed out there l feel from research but seeing first hand locals pushing the have common sense you'll be just fine. I feel a bit more confident its just like any other city don't be flashing wealth in these country's blend in enjoy the culture l think is the way to go. My Spanish is zero so l hope l can learn a bit there staying for so long, if you have advice on where to stay for a first timer for about 2 months l'll greatly look into it. Thank you

      It’s only dangerous if you’re careless or aren’t aware of what the threats are. For longer stays I’d recommend Laurelles, Envigado, Itaguii, or sabaneta neighborhoods

    I visit medelin the last 3 weeks stay in Laureles next by calle 70 never a unsafety feeling just the same as other big city in the world. Friendly people and enough police on the street. Even in el Centro, comune 13 by day no problems. sometimes you see there more Wanderers and junks. use your common sense .And many thanks for your video

      @CarterOnCam  18 днів тому

      I would say find one online that has reviews from other tourists. There’s people in town who will try to be your “guide” for different things when they see you’re a gringo. Those are the guides you should avoid

    El Centro isn't that dangerous at all, that's where i stay when i go there and tbh i feel like less of a target than being in El Poblado because people looking to steal are going to do so in crowded areas in more well off places imo.

      Don't be scared off by this video. El Centro is safe in the daytime. Thousands of people there, shopping, dinning and working. There is police presence there, so it is not as dangerous some people say. I would avoid being there at night when most of the locals leave as well.
