Free cancellation for hotel reservations with Expedia works perfect. Did it many times. For flights yes -24 hours.

Posts: 254I think Google Fi is a no brainer
I used to juggle sim cards when I traveled. I tried T-Mobile and Sprint internationally and hated the slow speeds and awful customer service.
If you spend any significant amount of time outside the US, and are from the US, I think Google Fi is a no-brainer for mobile phone service. It's cheap, reliable and has excellent customer service. It leverages both the Sprint and T-Mobile international networks seamlessly connecting to the strongest. When I was in Peru and T-Mobile's network was down it auto-connected to Sprint. When I was in New Zealand which had no Sprint partner it worked great with T-Mobile. I get LTE speed over 95% of the time. When connected to Wifi calls home are free. Otherwise 20 cents a minute. Free SMS worldwide. Pay for the mobile data you use. My monthly bills average less than $30 a month. Only downside is that it works best with the phones they sell, though it is now compatible with other phones (see their site). I'm a Pixel fan boy, think they are better than iPhones and now they have the mid-range priced 3 a series. I have used it in 14 countries (including Colombia).
If you are interested in learning more here is a like to the Google Fi site which has all the info. You also get $20 off if you sign up through this site.

EDIT: Also she's a dumb **** with that stupid message of her so maybe you should have offered 50k for her to crawl to your place suck your dick.

Girls really have an inflated sense of what they're worth compared to FB. 300 k is a typical asking price.

There's a regular stream of posts from them, and who knows how many get blocked by the admins, displaying the wrong attitude. They all plan on partying like rock stars, with no regard for the people who live there.
Add in the recent fool on YouTube who was teaching guys to harass and intimidate Colombian women. It's bound to create some anger towards the US tourists. There's other factors, but I don't want to get a political argument started.
Will it affect the typical visitor? Probably not. If you're using discretion, keeping a low profile and showing some respect most people will remain friendly. You might get a few more nasty looks than before, but no real issues.

Posts: 105First time in Medellin Sep 4 - Sep 8
Hi,
I'm going to visit Colombia in 2 weeks. Aug 31-Sep 4 Cartagena, Sep 4 - Sep 8 Medellin.
New to the forum and the country, but not to the game - 20+ years mongering in US, DR, Mexico, Jamaica, Russia, Ukraine, Germany, Greece, Netherlands.
Have been reading the forum for couple weeks. Thanks a lot to veterans for time and efforts spent to help newbies to understand Medellin!
Booked already Ayenda 1235 Botero hotel (I read all cons and pros and despite my Spanish limited to 20 words -for many years just plan to start learning-I've been in rough places and hopefully will survive).
I have free cancellation with Expedia, so if veterans convince me that I should stay somewhere else. I'll think about it.
The only question that bothers me for now -I've read that there is NO in-room safe in Botero hotel. Where do you guys keep your passports, cards, money?
If anybody is going to be in Medellin Sep 4 - Sep 8 - will gladly meet and share beer and stories.
Thanks in advance!

This is finally hitting Medellin as there seems to be some sentiment to keep those traveling here for vices away along with pushback on gentrification.
