General Info

I have a question for some of the more experienced travelers to Colombia. Do Colombian immigration have some kind of measure in place to ascertain whether someone who has 2 passports is the same person. Like biometrics for example?

More precisely, would someone with two passports be able to stay 5 months on passport #1, leave the country and then return shortly after and stay another 5 months on passport #2 within the same calendar year?

Asking for a friend, obviously.

Much respect and appreciation for passing on your knowledge and experience to a lowly monger such as myself.

[QUOTE=FlagRunner77;2607754]Thank you all, that is reassuring! I'll keep ploughing on with the weight loss, more for confidence purposes than anything else![/QUOTE]You got a lot of good comments.

I want to add / enlarge the thought about shedding the weight as my story is a prime example.

I am a Tall Man and over the past 4 years have dropped from 280 plus pounds to my now weight of 220 pounds and my knees and ankles and heart and lungs all thank me daily for it, seriously having more than 60 pounds less to carry around has so many advantages including the stamina with the chicas.

I am about 20 years older than you and I will tell you that the older we get the more difficult it gets to keep excess weight off and lose weight so start now.

There is no magic in it, walk, exercise, play some sports, hike, walk more and more, take the stairs (little things add up), no junk food, little sugar drinks, stay active and keep your body in movement. The results and how you feel once you gain control will result in so much confidence and really a different view on life.

Good luck to you!

The Tall Man.

Found 5 countries where you can have fun with girls without get trouble with police or get caught for jail through the weekend.

(meeting freelancers and drink alcohol in public like in Pattaya= forbidden without mercy).

I can read such information on Europe Forums.

These 5 countries I have on my list for 2022.

Name of these 5 countries? Nope, you not give me information so I not give you some, is that easy.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2608318]Only 5? You should do more searching.[/QUOTE]Be nice to him! I really need the names of those 5 countries.

[QUOTE=MarcoPatz;2608279]Name of these 5 countries? Nope, you not give me information so I not give you some, is that easy.[/QUOTE]It's not hard to find 5 countries where it is legal. Don't really need your information about them. It's not a secret.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2608318]Only 5? You should do more searching.[/QUOTE]I think he meant 5 in Central America. But even that is understated by 1.

You presume that you can't get in trouble in countries where prostitution is legal.

Nothing can be farther from the truth. It's always a word of a local girl against yours and the fact that you're a 'rich' gringo worthy of a good squeeze, makes you a target for the police.

Enjoy your 5 'safe' countries, LOL.

I am an experienced traveler and monger. I been to Colombia three times and familiar with the scene. I am planning for arriving at the end of November and spending 1 week in country with 1 or 2 friends from the USA. We are primarily going for the women but will be a few tourists things as well. Should we stay in Medellin the whole time and would a side trip to Santa Marta or CTG for a few days be a good idea. In Medellin. Places to stay? The Mansion? Airbnb suggestions? Any input would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The Tall Man.[/QUOTE]Thank you, Sir!

I used to be a regular runner, and c150 pounds but an injury followed by COVID means that I picked up some very bad habits and around +50 pounds acquired in the past couple of years. Part of the problem for me was not having a goal (trip) to focus on. Since I've had my Medellin trip, it is a lot easier to sacrifice comforting habits for the rewards to come.
