Medellin Reports

They specialize in pre-investigating on-line dating scams and they have offices in several different cities in Colombia.

Not cheap, but that depends on what you have at risk. I would do it all the same way again.

I am in Medellin and it is a bit different, the law is a bit more strict about Pico why cedula, meaning they will not allow you into the stores (the bank for me, they wouldn't take my driver's license over my passport) and did not allow me to retrieve money that I had sent myself on Thursday when I arrived and told me to come back on Friday, assuring me that they would be open, guess what? They were closed and I had to really walk all over centro and Medellin to find a Bancolombia to retrieve my cash, other than that, girls are readily available if you already have your list of reliable girls. I have a list of reliable girls, so the girls were no problem. I rented a very expensive Finca through Airbnb and they cancelled on me, luckily I went through airbnb and not anyone I know personally so they immediately refunded my money plus a $150 gift certificate after I contacted BOA and informed them not to pay these people as they had assured me that the finca would be open, guess what, they lied. Luckily I have an apartment here, with a girlfriend, and plenty of food, so we are partying like rock stars here at my apartment, wish it would have been at the nice finca, but oh well, I needed a break from the USA and I have really relaxed, rested, had fun at parties and is currently getting ready to return to America tomorrow. All in all not bad for a 5 day get away at a price of about $240 usd, hope all of you guys are having fun who are here in Medellin, but do not take the curfew lightly, I clearly see they are really handing out fines this year, which was not the case last year. Pollo Negro is out!

I always sort of assumed that area was Raudal, but I could never find anything that identified it as such. FWIW I saw possibly the two hottest chicas I've every seen in Medellin in that area (real close to Bar Hilton) several years ago. I had just sessioned at a casa and didn't have energy for a dupla. I asked them for their number, but they said it was now or never and I declined. Every trip since then, I try to take a walk down there to see what's available, but nothing really appeals to me.

See the word Raudal in the image.

Over the past 7 plus years I have spent a lot of time in Raudal but not necessarily for the street and bar putas but rather because I have a good Colombian friend who owns and operates a printing business right across the street and a few doors down. The whole area has probably hundreds of small printing shops.

Yes over the past 5 years I too have found just a handful of new chicas in Raudal looking to make a splash into the scene and needing some money for expenses. A few of these were simply young and fresh and fun as they were so new but these are not the norm as you need to put in the time and effort.

In past years I have ridden with him as he delivers printing orders to clients in all areas of the Medellin valley (restaurants, hotels, motels, offices, etc.). Just cool to ride along and see the normal working day of a paisa.

He visited me back in California about 6 years ago and I took him and a few of his family members to the tourist spots in LA and Las Vegas, Nevada so when I am down in centro I always stop by and have a drink and laugh and joke about the chicas. What I have seen and some of them experienced myself is just fun like I am a teenager again.

The joke between us is that I stop by to visit him only because of the 'economical' putas of Raudal. Putas are always available but a good and fun friend is special.

Great Sunday to all!

Hi guys,

Quick question. Where is the best place to get a good exchange rate from usd. To cop, using my ATM is not a option and everywhere I go is charging huge fees. Any help would be appreciated.

Bro, you did not send a double in on your first date with your novia 😂. What did she say when you showed up on the second date then?

There are times, when reading the stories when you just have to stand back and admire the fertilizer.

I took all kinds of precautions before my first visit. I hired a Private Detective agency and did a back ground check on her and had her shadowed before I arrived. I had every bit of identifying data I could confirm on her, her family, and her friends on file with my attorney before I left. I did not tell her my arrival date. I sent a double in my place for our first meeting here. Now it all seems overly cautious and paranoid. But not at that time.

So you are telling me you two did not video conference several times a week? She had no idea what you looked like, your voice, mannerisms? She sounds like a clueless keeper to me. You sent a double for what purpose? You think she was going to kidnap you? You paid someone to look into her family and friends? How sad when you could have simply met them first. One simple night out on the town with her and her friends could have told you a ton if you pay attention. Easy quick ways to test her. Have someone try to pick her up and if she is not interested then have him offer money and see if she bites. Ask her and her friends if they want to do some drugs together. Put that app on her phone that sends all voice, text, pictures, and locations she has been to you. Just a few days of that will tell you far more than what any detective could. This information you gave to your attorney for what purpose? You supposedly spent all that time and money when you could have simply gone on a few dates and possibly learned you really did not want her to begin with. Kinda sounds like the cart before the horse big time.

Some girls I really liked a lot until I met the girl's friends. Then my interest dropped. Plus, your gut feeling should tell you more than what some detective could. No proof needed.

Having to do all that from someone that claims to have so much life experience is mind numbing.

I picked a public place with a good vantage point. Catgirl knew what I looked like already but it had been a year since she saw me in person and then it was only for a day. I sent in a guy early with same build, same hair, wearing what I said I would be wearing and I observed from a vantage point. It was stupid sort of because it didn't guarantee anything but I wanted to make sure she showed up alone before I showed myself. Was a dude I met on the plane at random and I gave him 200 mil plus taxi and never saw him again for 15 minutes work.

[HelloIm]

Thanks for the shout-out and concern, really.

I've known my novia for 2 years. This is my second trip to MDE, I spent 6 months here first time pre-Covid starting in 2019, for a total of nine months here.

As far as first taste of Paisa Poontang, I have mongered on six continents, been laid on seven. I am not liquidating my assets back here in the states so there will be 3-4 trips per year back and forth, hopefully with the various chicas I put on "work" visas, but I openly admit to that part being unchartered territory at this stage. I had more pussy in the United States than I needed but was fed up with the culture, personal and professional.

I had my sites on settling in Cambodia (Lao was better except it is landlocked) and thought Medellin was the last place I wanted to be until I got here for the first time in 2019. I lived in Miami during the height of the Cocaine Wars and my impression of Medellin was all that Pablo Escobar shit, so I was trying to avoid coming here. I had met my novia briefly elsewhere, and we Wassapped for a year before I showed up. Her not wanting to leave Medellin (Unlike the 90 Day Fiance reality TV show) and wanting me to come here instead intrigued me, but of course that did not rule-out potential foul-play.

I took all kinds of precautions before my first visit. I hired a Private Detective agency and did a back ground check on her and had her shadowed before I arrived. I had every bit of identifying data I could confirm on her, her family, and her friends on file with my attorney before I left. I did not tell her my arrival date. I sent a double in my place for our first meeting here. Now it all seems overly cautious and paranoid. But not at that time.

This is not my first rodeo, but I have done and do a lot of things in ways that I would not suggest other guys try. If I die tomorrow I die a happy man, literally, preferably not being tortured to death, jaja. Other than that, I live life to the fullest.

One of my best friends in the world is an ex-hardcore Puerto Rican drug dealer and he was convinced that if I went to the mountaintop to see my casa build, that I was going to end up as pig-feed after they tortured my assets out of me, like the poor guy in your linked story. Made me stop and pause but obviomente I went anyway. I found warm, gentle and loving people. Catgirl's family welcomed me like part of their own and the love was real all the way from the 92 year old great grandmother down to her stud-muffin brother.

No regrets. I got this. There is no such thing as Heaven-On-Earth, Utopia, Garden of Eden, Shangrila, Nirvana, or Shambala, but for me Medellin is as close as I will get in this lifetime. There is no reason for me to look back. I am setting up a lifestyle for an apartment in the city and a place in the country to get away and chillax. Sort of the Manhattan-Connecticut lifestyle, except here a helluva lot cheaper, and I prefer Medellin to Manhattan, anyway.

The last foto is the view from our front door at our casa on the Mountaintop, overlooking the pueblo school. After a two hour bus ride from Terminal Norte in MDE, it takes another hour to get up the mountain by 4 WD, barely, if it hasn't rained. Easier access by horseback. If you met Catgirl you would think she was a city girl, but she was reared there and still spends a lot of time on the mountain. I can ride, but not like her with our dog Leah in one hand, plucking and eating mangos out of a tree with the other, on the steepest and most treacherous horse trail I had ever been on, jajaja.

Thanks again for the feedback! Ostee Out.

See the word Raudal in the image.

I consider the Raudal and Avenida de La Grief areas basically the same in the sense that they basically are a block apart, and there appears to be more action at Raudal and the corner where that building goes around the corner versus up Avenida de La Grief.

The confusion is perhaps people are thinking they are two different and distinct mongering destinations, but their are SW's walking between the two locations so I see it as one area, but it definetely is distinct from the Botero area, but only a block away.

I always sort of assumed that area was Raudal, but I could never find anything that identified it as such.

Seems like quite an Estate you have up there on the Mountaintop, and being a Contractor the delivery of construction materials like blocks, lumber, fixtures, conduits, plaster, tile, roofing, cement, sand, and so on must of been quite an undertaking utilizing 4 WD vehicles. Almost as though more of an issue the transport of materials versus the actual construction, assuming this is what you built, and I am curious as to your source of power and water there.

Regardless, it's quite an accomplishment, and I agree with you in that Medellin is about as close as you can get to Heaven on Earth if you have the time and money to enjoy it.

There was an existing structure. We had foundation and walls already. Transportation of materials is right about at 50% of total cost. Added more walls with adobes. We formed five of these pillars with rebar while I was there because we are adding a second story. I wouldn't call it an Estate, jaja, pretty ramshackle at this stage, but our casa will probably be the biggest one there once we are done, still less than 1500 sq ft.

I am really doing it for Catgirl so she will always have a place to go without having to worry about rent for the rest of her life. If the Richard Burton / Liz Taylor relationship I have with Catgirl ends on a sour note, I can walk away without a second thought. That is one of the many wonderful things about Medellin. There are so many gorgeous loving chicas waiting in the wings, but Catgirl is back at Numero Uno.

We have electricity and even an occasional WiFi signal. We will have indoor plumbing. The air is pure and the water is clean and comes straight off the mountain without any processing. If you look close at the vista foto from my previous post you can see the lone power wire that serves the entire village. I love it there. They broke out this 12 year old bottle of Scotch whiskey for a little housewarming party we had in our living room, and then used lime and salt with it, just like tequila, jajaja! Heresy, right? Noooo, guess what? It was delicious! Jajaja. That is Catgirl doing some interior measurements. The red foto is our kitchen temporarily set up as DJ booth for Catgirl's brother. We rocked the Casbah for a nice little party in our living room while I was there. Colombians love there huge speakers, right?

Here is a map.

Have Fun.

I tell her to take a taxi which I will pay for. She gets here and a chica taking a taxi means her friend will take her and they will rinse you on the price, from the club to Laureles she wants 20,00.

I try to get her an uber and she insists she wants her own taxi costing 25,000 which of course is not even a taxi.

Guys, take note.

El Colombiano is reporting a complete lockdown, from 8 pm Thursday to 5 am Monday.

Life is about 67% normal in my immediate neighborhood, last summer was much worse.

[SpiderRider]

I don't think anyone will be allowed to leave their homes, so not sure about getting chicas to visit you during a complete lockdown.

I may be late on this, but yes they can still come to you (and leave again) by taxi or ride share app.
