Medellin Reports

[Fun Luvr]

There's an airport bus service from / to the Medellin airport called Combuses and one of their stops is near the San Diego Mall. Anybody here ever use this and is the San Diego Mall area safe enough to wait for and get dropped off by an Uber?

I use the buses to and from the airport almost every trip, usually five trips a year. The drop off area has always been safe, any time of day and night. I always get a taxi from the drop off spot. The cost to Laureles is very little more than an Uber. Going to the airport, it's best to get on the bus where they start from, Calle 36 #45-14. The fare is 15,500 each direction.

All the feedback you all wrote is helpful. My last SA and online dating question if that's even possible is when you come across a Colombian women writing her profile in English instead of her native language, is that a red flag? I was talking to a profile in Medelland that was written in English but I decided to use translation to message her, and a few exchanges of we're both beautiful and she wants dinero from arrangement leads to " Podemos tener sexo" from her. Is this too a red flag?

Because of this interaction with a beautiful woman in that low quality zero filter Colombian photograph, I was also contemplating what it would be like to just ship her here to the states for a week and possibly marry her. These women truly are amazing and I'm catching feelings. Now I know how many of our kind get scoped.

Simp alert! Pull over! Pull over! Have you been drinking sir? No, I just want to marry a prostitute and bring her to America. She loves me, even tho she has sex with men for money. I can forget her past. She tells me I'm handsome and she says she loves me. I believe her.

Good share. What did you do to attract attention and also gave it away that you were being targeted by men or women? I'm half your size and will solo travel in a few months, so in the event I realize I'm being followed need to have an escape plan. Did you pick up any parque lerras women and bring them back to your place or trust them into a short stay hotel? Lastly any BBFS?

In retrospect, I think I was a little too excited meaning, I hit like 3 chicas on the same stretch. So they assumed I had money and I didn't haggle. The escape plan was for me to speed walk and keep bending corners. I'm from an urban environment in the states so this is nothing new to me. I noticed I was being followed because a pack of 3 guys were outside the little hotel that I noticed from plaza botero about 30 minutes before and when I walked off they slowly started to walk behind me. I turned a corner to get off the strip and I took a quick glance behind me and boom there they were, I made it to the next corner basically almost going in a circle if I made another left turn and boom there they were but I noticed they were speeding up. I have really long legs so it's very easy for me to speed walk fast without looking crazy. That's when I made a right turn and threw my legs into overdrive LOL and made it to the next corner asoon as they were turning into the block. I jogged the next block and kept making turns until I saw a cab driver I literally walked in front of his cab and he let me in. It became a totally different element at night young Spanish guys were play fighting in the street and all kinds of shit. I would recommend not going to el Centro at night solo in a nutshell. But to answer your question I think they saw I was banging multiple chicas and I wouldn't even haggle, just show them my phone they would type the price and I would say ok. Highest I got quoted was 75 by the way and no lower then 60. I recommend el poblado at night you can hang out there til 3 am and there are tons of expats and gringos you will bump into. And a lot of police at el poblado so it creates the illusion of safety.

Another to / from the airport transport option (in between a taxi and a bus in terms of price, comfort and waiting times) is to take a "colectivo": in effect, a shared white taxi. They also pick-up and drop-off passengers by the San Diego Mall. If I'm not mistaken the 2024 price is 25,000 mil to the airport and 30,000 from.

The last time I used the service from the airport into the city, the driver agreed to take me to my apartment in Laureles from San Diego for an additional 15,000. But yellow cabs and the metro are both nearby.

Yes, I have taken the collective twice. 6 people packed into a compact car. And some of them have showered! LOL. If money is sparce you should plan your airfare months in advance and go Spirit so you cannot let your seat recline back, saving a few bucks.

I did see the colectivo option and since I would not be in any hurry, it is an option. The only thing I was worried about with these shared rides is that I also noticed that the vehicles were not that big and I would have a large backpack plus a carry on luggage which is not an issue with the buses. So maybe if I was first in line for an empty colectivo, it might be workable.

I use it all the time. They drop you off at a taxi station. From there I just take a taxi to where ever I'm going.

It's fine, and don't be put off by the people who want to help you with your luggage into a taxi. A small tip is all they expect.

Hi, I've been to that mall and you will be fine to wait to be picked up. The downtown area is considered unsafe depending on where you're walking towards. I would just wait in the mall until you know that your ride is there to pick you up.

That's the only transport I use to and from the airport. It used to be 14 k now it's 15,500 cop but still the best option. You can get dropped off and picked up at the metro station exposiciones now too and pay with either your civica card or cash. Even if you have a maleta they will put it in the back for you and it's a very comfortable bus ride.

By the second sentence of any message, any Colombian knows you're not a Colombian. Having a local number or listing your home as Medellin isn't going to make everyone ignore that you don't talk

[Deleted by Admin] I've had my +57 number since 2021 now and while messaging thru WhatsApp they cannot tell that I am not Colombian. When meeting in person I'm pretty sure I can get past the second sentence without them asking where I'm from. Opening sentences using phrases such "Hola Mami" "que mas pues" and "como me LE va".

Usually at some point they will ask me where I'm from but it's not the 2nd sentence out of my mouth. And I always reply "Soy Mexicano" I never say I'm a gringo.

Hey all,

I'm fresh off my visit from Medellin and I'm in horny jail. However, is anyone in contact with any of the girls from la isla?

Thanks.

Beware of women who are big in size and look over 18 but may in fact be minors.

It is worth noting that the converse of this can also be true, especially with some Venezuelan women they may be 19 20 or even 21 years old but look small and scrawny to where you would think they may look like they are minors especially by US standards.

That is why it always best to ask to see cedula and then to use a hotel that will also verify the cedula as to its authenticity.
