Bogota Reports

[ChanceSome]

1st day in BOG and its been great.

Flight was on time and I breezed through immigration. What luck. BTW I did see a line for biomig at arrivals, anybody know if foreigners can use it? If the immigration line wasn't so short at the time, I would've given it a shot.

Also, I was a bit worried about altitude sickness but it doesn't seem to be affecting me.

So my plan is pretty much get a different agency girl every day. GFE is life.

I used Encounters Vip and requested a date with Juliana (450 k). Scheduling was easy and the scheduler was professional.

Juliana showed up 5 minutes early and I welcomed her into my airbnb. We exchange some pleasantries and she hops in the shower.

Shortly after, she comes out with just the towel on looking smoking hot. She's one of those latina girls that has a hint of asian features in face. Although the body is 100% latina. Small breast, big hips, and thiccc. Everything that I love.

She comes over and we start getting handsy. She asks me what I like and I tell her I like kisses, caresses, fat asses, blowjobs, and massages. She proceeds to make the dream come true. She gives great eye contact and made me weak a few times when blowing me. Post-nut she gave me a solid massage and we just joked around. She's actually my first agency girl. I'd give the experience an 8/10.

Tomorrow's itinerary is to do some sightseeing in Santa Fe during lunch and most likely another agency girl in the evening.

Airbnb's are no more predictable than hotels. Some hotels may have great wifi, others not. You could book a workspace at a workshare facility to be sure if reliable speed and service is critical.

I forgot to mention that what you said is correct about renting a working space. Both Bogota and Medellin have plenty of those. They cost anywhere from 600 k - 2 M pesos a month. Either your own small office, a desk, or a private booth. Costs vary depending on hours.

But those are needed if you rent a room cheap somewhere or a noisy area where you can't work. In a normal apartment with your own connection you can save that 2 M pesos per month. Heck my full apartment costs me 2. 5 M a month LOL. Estrato 5, 24/7 security, full kitchen, living room area everything. I can kick back and work in my drawers LOL.

Is that an opinion? LOL.

What I said is based on facts and experiences. It's not complicated. A hotel will have a wifi router on each floor or worse to be shared by multiple rooms, and depending on where your room is the signal may drop. That may be ok for pure mongers but if you're running something serious online like a content creator, working from home then this doesn't work.

Colombia happens to be a top country for digital nomad because they have reliable internet service and barely any power outages. This is probably why I'm not in the Dr right now. Most apartments in the Dr don't even come with work desks, plus mult outtages incl power.

I've been in Col for the past 7 months pretty much, and only had zero power outtages, maybe two internet svc issues that were resolved in minutes. Having your own router and hardwired connection is required anyway for most remote job, and even if using wifi, your own connection will be secured, stronger and not shared.

I work in finance plus I'm a daytrader so aint no way I'd risk connecting to a public wifi LOL.

I have been in some hotels that have an ethernet port for wired connection, maybe 1/10; but none come with routers. But all private apts do. It's day and night and not everything requires a debate.

WiFi in AirBnBs are dependent on the individual owner. I've stayed in different AirBnBs in the same building that had radically different WiFi performance. For instance, one AirBnB had blazing fast WiFi while one a few floors down had it's own router but the Internet was so slow I had issues with VoIP. The connection is dependent on what the owner is paying for, so the individual router can be a good thing or a bad thing.

He is right about the airbnbs having its own separate routers though, versus hotels having routers that are shared between different rooms. I remember I had rented a whole apartment in villa del rosario (near cucuta on the Colombia / Venezuela border) and I had this little square box right on the night stand, that was my own personal router just for me. And that thing had to have been 100 mbps it was blazing fast.

I remember I had downloaded a torrent file of an episode of star trek discovery in 1080 p from pirate bay and this was like a 2 or 3 GB file and it literally downloaded in like 45 seconds.

Most the time in hotels on the other hand the wifi is much slower and the same size files can take like 20 mins or more to download, it's often faster to just use my data on Tigo. And heaven forbid if you are in a room located far from the router, or someone else is hogging the bandwidth.

So I do agree with Madd. About whole unit airbnbs having better Wi-Fi.

I would ask if it was important. I've been in Airbnbs that had shared routers, also been in some where the router was fine but something was wrong with the modem or cables and internet was spotty. So I don't think an automatic assumption that internet in Airbnbs is great is a safe assumption especially if it is very important. As a generality, perhaps a stand alone airbnb unit might have a better chance than a cheap hotel, perhaps yes. But if my work depended on it I would want confirmation. Some hotels have co-working spaces, for example, and that gives you a lot more assurance of good internet and some other business center supports.

I am planning to remotely work from the Bogota hotel.

What is a quality of internet connection in Bogota?

Is it enough for remote working?

These 2 have good internet from what I have heard-.

I highly recommend you stay in an Airbnb apt instead of a hotel. Select the option of "full / complete unit" instead of a room so you have your own router in the unit. Or an ethernet port to use your own. Hotel rooms don't come w routers and connection may be bad since it's a shared wifi.

For airbnb booking, ask first for the speed. Many have 100 mb or higher which is minimum I must have but many have low speed like 20 mb, so ask first.

I'd like to know myself since I'm going to try this myself for my next stay which is going to be for about 3 weeks in May 2024. I tend to use my own hotspot I have or tether off of my backup phone since they both are on my Google Fi plan. I'll post my experience once that occurs.

I am planning to remotely work in Bogota, during the day, and have a fun at night.

Internet in my place in Cartagena has been bad lately, so I would get a backup plan like having a hotspot with google fi which has unlimited data. AT&T has an unlimited Latin America $70 a month plan. Bogota is better than Cartagena with internet but the companies running the internet are pretty much the same in both cities.

But just so you know, I have always been able to get my work on the internet done in Colombia as long as I stay in the big cities. If you go 50 to 100 miles outside of Bogota though, you will have issues.

Bogota will have the internet backbone as good as any place. Your individual hotel it will depend. Just like anywhere else. But the co-work businesses will certainly have it.
