I landed in Medellin 3 days ago, tons of outdoor walking and things to do. The language exchanges are a great spot to meet expats. The people I’ve met there just pour free knowledge about work, travel, safety, and other cool hacks. Tomorrow I’ll continue on to Perrera, Cali, Armania, than back to Medellin for most of December. Everything is super cheep outside the tourist areas. and it’s fairly simple to see what areas are safe good people and what areas to stay away from. On my next leg back to Medellin I’ll be staying in Laureles instead of poblato. It’s 20% cheeper in air bb, less tourist and a 5 dollar cab ride back to Poblato where most the tours leave. The culture here enjoys bargains, so even air bb they are willing to make a deal if you ask. I would not buy anything here unless you negotiate all prices first. Let’s see if I have enough energy to finish up my final project next week in my Data analytics course. Haha
Feel free to reach out if anyone is in the area or has tips.
