There will most likely be a confusion with you using a handle almost the same as mine.
Of which I have been using for around 20 years.
Please change your handle!

If I was ready to re-locate to another country, it would be Colombia.

Posts: 2417Crime problem
I've been a lurker on this thread these last few weeks, not having set foot in Colombia for over 20 years.
From what I read, Medellin or Bogota are less safe than, say, Sao Paulo. I see reports of ATMs not giving the money, Uber scams, SWs pulling knives on mongers, girls drugging mongers.
Makes me think twice about wanting to settle in Colombia now in spite of the fond memories I have of Cali in the days of the Cali cartel.

Posts: 706Very dangerous but
I wouldn't let it stop me. I'll be back in Bogota again this Sunday night I Have a serious girlfriend for the last 4 years and I have a handful of numbers of all stars I have seen for years if I need a diversion while she's at class, so I'm good. I wouldn't worry so much inside Casas, and massage places. Being in the street and the transmilenio can be a problem, don't take any buses, especially the Blue ones. Be extremely vigilante in places like SF and Candeleria. And as stated many many times on here, don't leave your drink, don't trust the girls, just use your common sense. Be safe and have fun.

Posts: 11Is Colombia getting unsafe?
Hi,
So the us State department just issued a travel alert to.
Colombia citing increased crime, etc.
If you are on the ground or have been there for whole, can you share your experience?
Is the crime and riots really getting serious that one should reconsider traveling there?
I'd appreciate any intel.
Cheers.

Posts: 85Pros and Cons
Interested with opinions of the pros and cons of living in Medellin, full time. Hope to hear from some full timers on the board as well.
Pros: Abundant sex, open minded people (when compared with the usa), culture, lax laws, usd goes a long ways in Colombia.
Cons: Scoping problem, free for all traffic, food, lack of friends (at first).
