I recently moved to Medellin. I’ve been here for 2 months and I love it.
That’s awesome!
I will retire in colombia next month
Congrats!
That's awesome! Congrats!
I wouldn’t be so fast to make that important decision. Colombia is going through a socialist ideology changes in the government that may affect everyone lives in the near future.
@@rodrigoquiroz8816 there have been changes, but at the same time we don’t want to overstate the matter. The president’s approval rating is around 30% his allies hold less than 20% of the seats in the legislature. It’s a long way right now from a socialist takeover.
Happy Retirement ... you've made a great choice. If only I could be so smart and retire in the very beautiful country of Colombia
Been living here in Medellin for several years and I find your videos to be the more than worthwhile
Recently moved to the Envigado area 3 months ago and have to say. Everything you said is spot on. Rappi by far has been such a game changer for me. The rain has been pain in ass lately, but I can’t count how many times the Rappi has not only still delivered, but gave me credits just because of the wait! The drivers truly WORK for their money here. I was a good tipper in states and here even MORE. Great vid!
Yess I’ve had the same experience. Luckily most of the restaurants and the Rappi turbo warehouse is near me. Regardless whenever there’s been a mistake they never hesitate to compensate with credits or chargeback to my credit card. I have so many lifemiles thanks to Rappi and Uber lol.
Great video, really enjoyed it
Its crazy how fast and cheap Rappi is, 10x way better than doordash or ubereats here in the states
Facts. You can even order cash, lol. It's awesome.
Super video. I'm on that Uber Comfort on my next trip! I wasn't aware of that detail about the AC.
Yeah it’s great 👍
I've heard horror stories about cleaning ladies stealing or tipping off criminals, so it's sort of a risk finding the one that's trustworthy. Cheers.
Yeah, going with a reputable agency might be the way.
Andrew you are royalty!! Smile!!
Haha, thanks Glen, hope you're doing well!
I liked😎… like & subscribe 👍🏼
Thanks
My girlfriend cleans and cooks! She is looking for new clients.
Awesome video brother!!!!!
Appreciate it!
hermano..... ohhhh i am so ready to get back down there.... I feel at home there... Los Angeles has not had the same allure since I have been back now for 2 months. I will def be contacting you regardless when mapping out my next time coming down cause I'm ready to leave the 818. I'd rather be happy down there. Just watching this I miss it soooo much. Keep up the good work Drew. And you will def be hearing from me before you know it. Good stuff buddy
Awesome hope to see you down here soon!
Hi Andrew, I got scammed pretty bad in Medellin, I have been trying to recover my losses for about 5 months.
I was wondering if you had any contacts with reputable lawyers in Medellin. Every lawyer I get connected to is looking to scam me even more one when they realize the potential for financial gain within the case. The lawyers think I am and idiot because I don't have a strong grasp of the language, but I can see through all of the manipulation tactics. I'm just looking for somebody honest and transparent.
Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Hi bro the only lawyers I recommend at nexo.legal I’m not sure they can help in whatever it is your case is about, but talk to them.
Please get out of there. Not only can you get scammed, but there are worse things that can happen to you such as getting drugged, have all of your stuff stolen, and of course, the worst which is getting toe tagged..
There are many other Latin countries that you can go to, depending on your taste that is much worth going to because of safety.
'it is not worth going to Colombia at this moment..
@@overlookresident9862 yessir if you’re scared, stay away.
the rappi... he stop at Carulla? Not Exito... oh my I miss it sooo much.
Yeah you can choose the supermarket.
Hola Andrew. Don't believe I've posted before but I particularly enjoyed this episode. I agree on your Uber comments and only use Comfort. Did the costing and it makes no sense having the expense of owning a car. Had an issue with one of the regular drivers, he was asking too many questions and para no tener papaya we changed to the higher end service. Keep it up mate.
Thank you appreciate it! Yeah, having a car here is a big luxury, unless if it's some cheap car.
Wow Andrew! Great video. Very informative. I always tip the Rappi workers. I plan to buy my second property in Envigado. 🇨🇴
That's awesome. My parents are retiring and thinking about Envigado. It's such a great place.
I love to see people from around the world discover Medellin but please do not make it more expensive than it is. Negotiate hard to lower prices like rent etc. It is getting to expensive to locals.
The ironic part is that it's Colombians that increase the prices as much as possible. Foreigners are just here to visit and pay. After all they're on vacation. La culpa lo tiene nuestra gente queue parece muerta de hambre subiendo le a todo, lo mas queue puedan. Lo bueno es que no es sostenible, eventualmente bajaran los precios.
5th floor walk-up? I'm too lazy for that lol ...
lol, yeah I was getting lazy...had to get back in the gym.
Hello bro i intend moving over to Colombia. Can you help me with a job sponsorship invitation?
You like uber, I love driving! Especially all the motos I have to avoid getting into an accident with. Later i will bring my Trocota Chingona or Baller car and really get noticed by the policias and the local thugs. (sarcasm)
🤣 you must be Mexican. Love it! La trocota made me laugh.
I hear buying electronics is 2x expensive in Colombia… how do you resolve that when you need to buy equipment for your business?
Amazon or caribbeanshipper.com
When looking into homes there, I have noticed almost all that have met my criteria have staff quarters (not something I've ever had in the states) - do you have any insight into how live in help works there and cost? Also, some of the properties have very elaborate gardens and pools...any insight into pool companies and/or gardeners or services? Maybe you could do a video on it
Great video, as always. Does it make any difference in the ease of buying property in Colombia if I'm a dual national (USA/Colombia)? Thanks, and keep up the amazing job!
Yes, mainly because if you have a Colombia cedula it makes it easier to open up a bank account. You could transfer money to yourself from the US instead of using a brokerage firm. There are some steps there, though, so it's best to take the MedellinMasterclass.com and/or work with a lawyer.
@@MedellinBuzz Thanks!
I wanted an opinion, Andrew. I love to tip down here because a small amount for me makes people's days. But I've heard other expats like Life With David advise against it because it accostums the locals to expect tips from gringos and lead them to bake in their own tips by default by offering us elevated prices. Thoughts?
I say, do what you can afford and what makes you happy.
I always prefer public transport to Uber or anything like that.
Nice. I used to love it.
@@MedellinBuzz Medellin does have the best public transport of any city in Colombia.
Where is your other apt. you rent out?
They’re both in barrio Manila. airbnb.com/h/terra-202

I'll be visiting Medellin in 2 months. I have some questions, where can I email my questions?
If you're visiting, I highly recommend you check out my ultimate visitors guide: Medellin Made Easy, www.medellinmasterclass.com/visitorsguide. We have a private Facebook group where you can ask questions.
I spent the last 15 months in Medellin my visa expired and i left two daya ago. Watching this video gives me withdrawals i only been gone two days and missing Medellin already. I will be back once the new year comes so i will het another six months visa. Life in the USA is misrable especially after experiencing live in Colombia. I gotta figure out how i can live there forever. what visa is the easiest to obtain and howblong does the visa last. How complicated is applying for a visa. Next time im in Colombia i probably need to find a wife ao i can stay forever
I know you feel much better in a country where the average salary is 20 dollar a day and you take ad vantages of that but a country where people receive living wages is horrible
Congratulations on the baby ,awesome video again ,love that gaming 💺 chair also 🧐lol love that u speak so clearly during the video 😊

Is it easy to get electronics fixed in medellin like for example if you broke your screen on your iphone or camera? Is it expensive because of tech tax?
It’s pretty easy. Check out the mall called Monterey
Brother How to get 2 year Colombian visa or PR easily, Gives any easy tips,
If you’ve got the money you can buy an apartment and get an investor visa. Check out my friends at nexo.legal for more information.
Your vlogs are very helpful to me, I thought to come medellin for three month tourist visa for practical experience, I want to single for my whole life, Medellin is best place for making friends after 30 retirement, I made. enough money between 20 to 30 age of my life
@@Bunty-ji7qf That's great. I'm sure you're going to love it. Once you are here you can consult with a lawyer like Nexo.Legal and figure out which visa is best for you. Cheers!

Thanks for the video. What kind of lifestyle do you think i could have on 2 thousand pounds a month over there?
Pretty darned good life. My budget is about $2,200 USD per month.
@MedellinBuzz that's really good to know, thanks
A very high standard of lifestyle with that amount of I’m Scottish and live on half of that very comfortably with half of that in Cali
@robertmiur2388 ah really. I visited Cali last year and loved it. If renting how much do you pay and is it in a nice area?
There seems to be quite a few people that are really playing with fire, deciding to move to Medellin or Colombia in general..
You are talking about a country that is so dangerous that whenever you walk out on the streets alone and not necessarily just in bad neighborhood, but for men in particular, it is very dangerous...
You can be in the best neighborhood in Colombia and still have the chance of getting robbed and killed easily if they noticed that you are a foreigner or if let's say you have messed with one of the girlfriends of the gang members that are out there working there is a chance that they will hunt you down if you're not giving enough money or if you don't do what the girls says.
Obviously, the UA-cam creator of this channel looks like a local since he is Latino and he can pass for Colombian. I'm not sure what nationality he is or where he's from but for him life might be a little bit easier, but even that he still has the risks of things from other countries have gone through..
It is definitely not worth investing time to move to Colombia I think if anybody goes and visit Colombia it's just to go with multiple people. You can't even get that drunk. You can't even wear certain type of clothing. It is extremely uncomfortable to be on edge like that....
You might as well go to another Latin country nearby. If you're looking for a similar type of scenery like that of Medellin, there are other cities in Latin America. Yeah, it might be a little bit expensive to go to San Jose Costa Rica but at least you know you're going to be safer there than you are in Colombia where you can get kidnapped just about for anything especially to get money and drain your bank account and leave you stuck....
These creators know that there are a lot of desperate men out there in which the main motive to move to Colombia is because you cannot find a girl or spouse in your country so you think out here it is so much easier.... let me make it easier for some people... Colombia, the girls are into their own men... Colombian girls are going to be loyal to Colombian men. No matter what..
There's a lot of assuming and misinformation going on here. Regardless, I understand it's your opinion (hopefully based on experience not just a couple of weeks stay, or even worse, never living here), 95% of all the people (including women and couples) that we've helped relocate are people who have been visiting Medellin for years. So it's not like they're going in blindly, that would be a mistake...anywhere in the world.
@@MedellinBuzz they even had travel advisories to Colombia almost every year. whenever you look at the topics of men that have been kidnapped and robbed or simply drugged robbed you will find out how many people are regretting visiting Colombia or our desperate to get out it is unbelievable. How many thousands of people are wanting to get out... obviously you fit in since you look like a local so it's completely different for you as it would be for somebody else.
@@overlookresident9862 Yep, it's all subjective. The government's experience living in Colombia is a different from someone else's. Like I tell everyone, if you're scared, stay away, no one's holding a gun to your head (pun intended, lol)
Rappi is crappy
🤣
