Posts: 516Out of curiousity, how did you stay in Colombia for an entire year? What type of visa did you have? 25 k investment does not seem like enough for a business visa. In 2017 the exchange rate was not as favorable as it is today.

About 15 years ago I took up archery, for fun and to do some hunting. Plus, it's a useful skill in case of zombie attack or if some rednecks in Arkansas are giving you the Ned Beatty treatment (unless you're into that, I'm not judging). I joined a league to make improving more interesting.
There was no chance of me winning. The winner scored 5997 of a possible 6000. Even with my handicap there was no chance. However, due to starting with a high handicap and constant improvement, I finished in a 3 way tie for 2nd, which required 1 more match to finish the placement. 1 guy was an old veteran, probably had been shooting for 40 years. The other was a 12 year old who already had a national sponsor. About halfway through the kid realized he had us both beat and started running his mouth. It didn't matter to me. I would have been thrilled finishing in the top 10.
When there were 2 rounds left it was clear, he would finish 2nd, I'd get 3rd and the old guy 4th. Then he let his mouth take over and put the next 3 shots dead center. He turned to me and said "I bet you can't beat that. " I told him, probably not, but I have to wait until you take your arrows out of my target. " That dropped him to 4th and left me in 2nd.
It doesn't matter how precise you are, if you don't know what you're shooting at.
I'm all in favor of you trying to get in shots on me Bill, although I have no idea why you want to. However, you're not getting anywhere playing cheerleader for Paulie (again if you're into that kind of role play, I'm not judging).

Posts: 568Back in Medellin
I would love to debate some of the hot issues on this website but I am busy trying to arrange girls to come over and have sex with me. This is my first time in Laureles so I will tell you how it compares to Poblado after the trip. There seems to be about a thousand hamburger places here.

Hell, I've never even heard of gringos in Colombia on resident / pension visas being tracked down to file taxes for that matter.

Posts: 14Dorado Chica Friendly
Hotel Dorado La 70 is chica friendly. Granted, I wasn't bringing in 3 or 4 girls at a time, drunk offmy ass and being a fool. They have a few people at the front desk, and a low level security guard at door entrance from street. It is not a monger heavy establishment, but I had no problems no extra fee, and they seemed to know the routine about checking and copying ID.
Someone else commented about some noise complaints. Well, it is super convenient and right in the heart of restaurants, pubs and clubs, so it comes with the territory. I had no issues unless you are a super light sleeper. A room without balcony and sliding door would probably be quiter. But I requested top floor with balcony. Amazing views and well worth it.
I would add one thing. NO safe on room so better chica proof it or hide things.

Posts: 115183-day rule
I was wondering if any of you have ever been in the same boat as me. Basically, I stayed in Colombia for exactly 180 days in both 2021 and 2022. This means that I have stayed pass 183 days in a rolling 365-day period. Colombia law requires anyone who have stayed pass 183 days in a 365 day period to file taxes in Colombia. This is where I fit into. Has any one you stayed in Colombia pass 183 days in a 365-day period and needed to filed taxes?
I reached out to those gringos I know who live in Colombia year around, they all have filed taxes because they are either married to Colombians, or own properties, or have Colombia based income so they have to file anyways. Since I am a "tourist" who owns nothing in Colombia, their version of "IRS" don't know about me. Do I HAVE TO file?

A brief synopsis:
2017 I liquidated everything in the US and moved to Medellin, the plan was to be part of a new webcam studio. The studio provided me with a room in a nice apartment, where I only paid for internet and half the utilities. While waiting for the studio to get going I was introduced to Juan Bustos and did some work for him. Juan is a huge deal in the Colombian webcam industry.
After 8 months the new studio didn't exist and the work for Juan wasn't enough to pay my expenses. The boss and I parted ways after I insisted on some compensation for my time. I struggled on for another 4 months before going back to the US and back to work.
The imaginary swindle is based on Paulie's delusions. I took a big gamble without knowing everyone who was in the game. The guy who recruited me didn't profit from me in the long run. His disagreement with me caused my roommate to force him into a much better deal for her and led her to work independently, losing him about half his income. Meanwhile, she remains a solid friend to me. The only thing he swindled out of me was the internet I paid for. However, had I been in my own apartment, my expenses would have quadrupled.
In my opinion, no attempt to swindle me was made. The guy just wasn't up to the task of running a webcam studio. Granted, I spent a year with almost no income and spent $25 k of my own money, but I consider it a fair trade.
For $25 k I took 1 year off from work. I spent 1 year in Colombia. I met a lot of new friends in Colombia. I got a very nice new laptop. I took classes to greatly improve my Spanish. I fucked a lot of Colombian women. I lost 60 pounds and got into good shape. And I got to start over.
Ending up in a big hole sucks. Climbing out of the hole feels great. Filling the hole and then climbing back up the ladder feels fantastic. If I hadn't blindly jumped at the deal I don't know where I would be today. However, I'm thrilled to be where I am now, so I consider the experience to be to my benefit.

There are also parts of Poblado, especially towards the north west corner that are not what you might expect to find in Poblado.
No matter where you are, you should be aware.
