    I met a Colombian girl from Cartagena here in Poland, and we talked for 2 hours about her country. Made me all nostalgic about my time there, which caused this video.

    I always loved the expression “magical realism” used to describe Colombia. There is something really magical about it that’s hard to explain but you just feel it when you’re there. It’s awesome. Never felt it anywhere else.

      Not true. It was cheap and Im from Canada. It was blike my home province in many ways BC but warmer. As far as Im concerned Canada is far more crime than people think. Colombia is dangerous if you arent street wise and untrusting, so go live in a compound and be home via taxi at 8pm. I dont understand how people can travel, act like they do back home or worse and then get bad results. Find a place(region) you feel safe and comfortable then rent. But dont go where the women are hottest. Where there are hot women there is always the devil near. The other thing is, learn some Spainish, the fact you even are trying warms them up.

      When a foreigner meets a Colombian, the first thing they ask is you have drugs?
      Do you have coke or marijuana?
      Foreigners love to get high; they are consumers, especially Europeans and those from the United States.

    Hey Wes great video - Asian guy here who’s been living in MDE for a few years now. A question I often ponder is do we as foreigner actually love Colombia or do we only love what Colombia can do for us? Meaning do we love Colombia so much we are willing to denounce are citizens ship for this country? What if we didn’t earn dollars, would our experience / feelings still be the same? If the women were not hot would we care to be here?

    I never been to Colombia, but I’ve been to other Latin American countries, and in most of them I felt something similar of what you’ve described in the video. Latin America has a very good vibe in the air, and I miss it quite a lot. Also, I have family there… One conclusion I got after watching many videos about Latin America after being there, is that is very easy also to fall in love with Latam when you have a “European/American”economic-backup or salary. For sure, a life with the local salaries in many of these countries is not that amazing, in many factors. But still, I found Latin people particularly joyful. Something that is hard to see in other areas of the world. I hope I can visit Colombia at some point…

    Saying that most Colombians haven't left their country because it is so bio diverse is completely wrong. Almost every Colombian wants to travel abroad, but the salaries are so low that most people can't afford to do that.

And you can't really hike like in the Alps, because it is too dangerous there are hoods everywhere or guerilla or some other bullshit.

    I'm Colombian, and what you said at 0:34 is so true and sad... You've probably heard the saying 'No dar papaya,' which essentially means that if someone does something bad to you, it's considered your fault for allowing them to take advantage of you. Living in an extremely dangerous country like Colombia, it's common for people to have this mentality. Sometimes, I see tourists putting themselves at risk of being robbed, kidnapped, or worse. Foreigners visiting Colombia should learn to keep a low profile, which means not speaking foreign languages in public, avoiding flashy clothing, refraining from using expensive phones in public places-basically, when visiting Colombia, it's best not to draw attention to yourself.

    The US has great nature but US cities are so shitty and soul sucking that anything else in any other part of the world looks like an upgrade or even amazing in comparison. Also, I believe dating and getting to know someone in other cities plays a big part in ranking these places. So there's an emotional factor here.

    And besides moving back to Colombia would show that your ex wife’s father or whoever that made threats against you that he’s defeated and if you can fight back his threats then at least he can ignore providing that you can steer well clear of your ex wife now.
