i just got robbed! el poblado, Medellin, colombia 🇨🇴 2023 learn from me before you become a victim!

[@didyouknow610]

Colombia is a developing country, not a third world country. Common sense is to keep your backpack in your lap. I just came back from MDE. I'm a young, solo female traveler. I traveled throughout Colombia with my backpack in front of me and I kept all of my valuables hidden in my hotel room (under my bed, closet, mattress) and didn't let anybody enter my hotel room. The locals looked at me like I was crazy but I'm not new to this. I have street smart.

[@ramatgan1]

You do look Colombian.
They must have clocked you are a foreigner.
I was last in Medellin in 2012. Only there 4 days but thankfully nothing happened.
Watching from Somalia.

[@ElGriegoTravels]

That sucks Casey, at least you are physically fine and nothing violent happened to you. Treat this situation as a lesson learned. Stay safe🙏

[@caseyvloge8827]

Thanks my man

[@JakeTheSnake500]

Sorry that happened to you bro. It's a good reminder that you can have things stolen no matter where you are.

[@caseyvloge8827]

It better be safe than sorry

[@robertknighten4539]

@@caseyvloge8827 good video I'm planning on visit El poblado Medellin. My buddy said do not show off do not draw attention. Because when I was in Brazil I did not carry a whole lot jewelry. And plus I always hide my wallet. I'll probably do the same thing in El poblado hide my credit card and carry less Columbia cash

[@Okay21c]

There is no such thing as a good area in Medellin or Colombia. When they tell you in a good area don’t associate it to USA. It just means the probability is lower to get robbed but is still higher then a USA equivalent to a good area . Safe travel

[@patriciavandevelde5469]

In santa Domingo Republic dominicaine at the Airport at the check-in with wingo they pushed me to buy return ticket from bogota with all the stress she forgot to give me back my credit card!!!!!! In all this 3th world countries it s everywhere the same! Stealing, robbing!!!!!!my trip was completely ruined!

[@caseyvloge8827]

Yep
My rule is always be prepared to be robbed especially 3ed world countries. I got robbed in canada only few hours away from home and my life turned into a living hell i can't even call home they call it long distance. Be safe

[@moshesierra6849]

That’s very derogatory calling “ 3 td world country “ like that
However the USA is way more dangerous than many “ 3 rd world country “ an absolute term from the Cold War
The term developing country is the current term

[@kych2008]

Gotta start putting your bag between the chair so they can’t grab it or keep it close to you.

[@jakenicol4012]

Happened to me in Spain to be fair. And Australia.

[@thevision7947]

Great info

[@elcesar999]

As a Medellín native. I am sorry. Unfortunately the situation is getting worse and the problem is all this tourists flashing and wearing Bling this literally sucks... Is making all tourists prey

[@DearMines]

Yes blame the tourists for your people's degeneracy. .. guess you voted for Petro.

[@Izakokomarixyz]

The problem is not people using their stuff in public, the problem is the thieves that can’t keep their thieving hands to themselves…

[@elcesar999]

@@Izakokomarixyz it should be that way. Unfortunately not in a lot of places specifically 3rd world countries . Matter of fact even in the US you get robbed in the hood easily

[@suarakeadilan8157]

The sad thing is colombian even robbed their own colombian people!! What a sick and lazy mentality!!colombians want a lot of money but do not want to work to earn money!!

[@Markus_YouTube]

@@elcesar999Poblado ain’t the hood bruh. It’s literally the most affluent part of town, and considered by many to be the safest. Tourist ain’t visiting the hood in America either. If tourist did want to visit the hood in America, the locals will tell you not to go there because it’s dangerous. They won’t tell you it’s safe as long as you don’t do anything stupid, they’ll simply tell you not to go to the hood.

[@dipmukherjeekolkata]

How to carry the valuables like credit card and passport ?

[@caseyvloge8827]

When i go exploring i leave my valuable including my passport at safe place for example a locker at selina hostel and use an expired ID and old used up phone so in case of emergency i can give up what i carry without a major problem especially when you exploring a new places in my case el centro and other not very safe areas be safe brother

[@africanayasmin6210]

Is getting worse now.😢. Tourists are getting robbed even in their hotels when they leave their luggage in their hotel rooms by hotel staffs. Aside from safety concerns, kidnapping, drugging, phone snatching walking by the streets 😮

[@Jyushua]

That’s not a robbery, it’s a theft. A non violent crime.

[@thomasgrochot3701]

It's really funny, the youtubers and bloggers are always being robbed 😂😂😂

[@caseyvloge8827]

You mean everyone gets robbed becomes a youtuber 😆

Thanks for the update i do have a trip there soon

[@user-3tf67bk46u]

Casey, how about touching base more often with your subs?
Especially when vacationing solo..
And especially in what's considered non-tourist zones.
Plus, I'm missing hearing your usual female companionship and the odd legs shot..😙✌️🙏

[@caseyvloge8827]

Loool true. I personally prefer non touristy areas i get to meet locals and work on my Spanish bit more.

Dude you don’t carry anything valuable on you…..you don’t consider your phone valuable??

[@caseyvloge8827]

I have to make it clear it is not bad pitty crime happens every not to the point where i can use my phone maybe i won't do that in el centro

[@markhopkins291]

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@ohno-zx4if]

Did they have a gun

[@caseyvloge8827]

I haven't seen one here but won't be surprised my rule of thumb be prepared for the worst case scenario don't get your self in trouble and you should be fine

[@Nestonj1]

I will
Bring my second amendment from Texas ,is a ever go to Medellin

[@caseyvloge8827]

It's definitely one way to feel extremely safe 😆

[@jaylove7391]

Than why go lol 😂 moreover, tourists and expats are not allowed to carry or own 2nd amendments in Colombia. You will be sent straight to prison and the U.S. embassy will not assist you

[@ChrisBCartagena]

Lots of discussion..no tips of any value really.
