    Thanks for such an important video, Andres. The two farmer brothers story was very moving. It's a great injustice they have had to endure. I'm glad they have each other and hope they prosper. Thanks for sharing their story and helping them out ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❤

    Glad that you weren't physically hurt during your altercation, and that you are continuing to do your videos in spite of it.
    In regards to phones, I myself don't have an iPhone, solely because I prefer the android. The rest of my family have them though, my children, parents, and brother.

      Thanks man. Yeah in Colombia since they are not so common thieves target people with iphones because they sell at a high price.

    When you say people don't have iPhones you mean iPhones specifically? Most people do have a smartphone right?

    • @andresonearth
      @andresonearth  Рік тому

      Most people have smartphones but not high end ones like iPhone or Samsung. They'll Huawei if they're lucky or Motorola or other cheap brands. Only people with money have high end smartphones.

    Some of the best videos on UA-cam about real life in Medellin. I'm a fellow New Yorker going to Medellin in a few weeks and would glady donate to you and the channel for a private tour and breakdown of the city. How can I contact you?

    I am satisfied as a fellow Paisa/New Yorker that you are keeping it real and not glamorizing the desperate condition the country has been living with more and more every day. Damn, however, you went from guate-mala a guate-peor. There is no way I would have moved there. But you are a guy, you can do better than me. Just try to blend in and go with a group of people. Don't wear anything nice because that is a dead give away for the robbers. If you look too clean cut, you are a target. Just be careful Andres... 🙏💖

    "We follow what our father left us in our hearts" Such an endearing statement. Two honest young men just trying to make an honest living are blighted by the West's appetite for cocaine. saddening to see the reverse effect of the leaf of immortality still causing the Colombian people to flee their homes and losing their land as the demand for this poison continues. When will we in Europe and those in the US realise that Colombia has had 7 million people displaced,
    primarily because world wide demand is still there and ever stronger. Colombia is suffering more than any other from the consequences of drug-trafficking.

    • @andresonearth
      @andresonearth  Рік тому

      Yes unfortunately there are still people being displaced in Colombia by armed groups, its a reality that many who visit are not aware of. The drug trade still fuels violence in all of Latin America 💔

    I've recently visited Colombia 🇨🇴 as a tourist so I don't think I was able to feel a tense atmosphere while I was there. I actually felt pretty safe. Having said that I think it would be a good idea for more videos if you could show us more about that dark side of Colombian society. Thank you, Andres.

    • @andresonearth
      @andresonearth  Рік тому +5

      Colombia is generally safe, and most people who come here with street smarts will be fine. However the reality is that there are many thieves who are always looking for an opportunity to make a quick come up. This is why you should not be so trusting of people you just met, avoid lonely streets & always been aware of your surroundings. Im glad you felt safe here 🙏🏻

    I have lived in Costa Rica for 18 years, visiting that area (Medellin) for the first time next month. Is Bello relatively safe? Not much crime where I live, way out in the sticks on a farm. Thanks for head's up. Pura Vida!

    • @andresonearth

    Not everyone lives like that. I would like for you to be fair but do not sensationalize I live on Orlando Florida in a nice neighborhood of Windermere and people are robbed here. Colombia needs tourism and you are not helping to promote it. People get robbed all over the world. I got robbed in Paris and Costa Rica. Show all the sporting activities you can do all over Colombia. Help those needy people by promoting tourism so they can get jobs. Yes the daily life for some people is harsh but Colombia has beautiful places all over and beautiful towns and beautiful people that welcome tourism. Show this video to the President if you really want to help.

      I am a little disappointed at you. Don’t want you to hide things but show both sides of everything. Go talk to the people in small towns.
