There's no reason to cry in your coffee
[QUOTE=BlackPage;2462344]The day finally came. I have opened my last bag of Juan Valdez cafe. The last bag of panela was opened several weeks ago, and is now nearly exhausted. I do not see a light at the end of the tunnel yet, and I cannot imagine when (I hope "if" does not apply here) I will enter the holy Borders of Colombia at Eldorado Airport again, and I will be able to refill my stocks again.[/QUOTE]As there's "light at the end of the tunnel" in Ebay as several sellers deal in Juan Valdez coffee, and many ship worldwide.
I am running out of my supply too. Tea supply LOL.

I made the stock of coffee I am now exhausting last February. That day I flew back to Europe, Feb 19, I really could not imagine I was living my last days of Normality.
Sadly, my big supply of Sildenafil, cumulated over my trips to Colombia in 2019, is still mostly intact and risks to pass its expiration dates (mostly in 2020!), as I am idle and I will be idle longer. I had skipped at least 2 if not 3 trips overseas which I had originally planned for March through July.
I keep on checking this thread and enjoying its chitchatting, but it's like observing a world that is now alien to me, and will be still alien for a long time. So depressed today (coffee just biased my mood in the morning).[/QUOTE]My one-pound bag of Scottish loose leaf black tea is almost empty. Little did I know when I was placing it into my luggage thinking I won't even consume a quarter of that haha. Well, now it is almost over and I have no idea where I can find quality tea in Medellin. My previous attempts to do that were unsuccessful. Other than that, life is beautiful haha.
The fitness might be a issue.
[QUOTE=Surfer500;2462158]Contrary to what you think, there's lots of guys in their sixties, myself included, banging hoe's left and right in Medellin. I have a friend in his seventies that when he is in town bangs the SW's in El Centro.
Assuming your in good health and physically fit, what you need to be concerned about is how you "roll" meaning monger. Colombia is not like Thailand, or the Philippines, or Sosua. And Colombia can be tricky at times given that not a lot of people speak English, and it isn't the safest place either. I'm not trying to scare you, but these are things you should factor into your decision to come here, and if you read thru this forum going way back and sift thru all the bullshit posts, mine included, you will get an idea of how things work here.
Colombia is very different than most other Countries in the world to monger in because of all the options available, and is heaven on earth for most, but doesn't work for some, it just depends on how you roll, and there's lots of different ways to roll here.[/QUOTE]Thanks for your reply.
I just had this perception looking at vids etc, that people in my age range were not obvious. Don't know if you know Pattaya, but if you look at vids of Soi Bukhaow, it looks like "Coffin Dodgers Central". I was considering that maybe I've missed the boat to Colombia, but I am encouraged by the replies I've seen here.

As your aware the USA has been blackballed by the EU for travel, and I suspect when Colombia opens back up, the USA will be banned as well, yet Colombia may allow visitors from the EU. But nobody knows for sure, as it's an evolving situation.
If your in the EU there's options to monger of course, perhaps Greece. You could hit the 20 Euro studios, or the street scene in Athens, but it pretty much sucks compared to Colombia as was what I experienced last October when I was there.
When you get back, everything will be as it was, and probably much better when it comes to mongering.
