Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=Chicago85;3059066]Yes, I've had 2 accounts for years. I do the same with IG and also have two phones and use multiple browsers. You have to be increasingly careful as the algorithms will analyze your social media trends, location, proximity, and web browsing to match you to others.[/QUOTE]You can hide your friends on Facebook. Wouldn't that solve the problem on that particular platform? I don't use Facebook to find girls, but if I did, then hiding my friend list would be an absolute must. I keep my "normal' and my mongering lives completely separate, and never the two shall meet!

Hello,

I don't use this site much but from time to time check in.

I read some reports on a casa called Purple Elixir, never seen or heard of it before but when I search I cannot find anything anywhere.

Does anyone know if it's still open or location? Thank you!

[QUOTE=MongerHunger;3058994]The street / club noise there from La 70 is ridiculous at night no matter what floor you're on and that sports bar is pretty small.[/QUOTE]I stayed on the 15th floor once and it was fine.

[QUOTE=LvZooMan211;3058985]I like to stay at San Peter Apartments in Laureles. They have 24-hour security and check IDs. At the ground floor is the Medellin Sports Bar where you can watch sports and hang out with other gringos, and a pretty good hamburger place across from it. Check it out.[/QUOTE]Agreed except the noise from the clubs on La 70 can be unbearable unless you are on a top floor or bring ear plugs, seriously.

[QUOTE=ClamEater;3058989]I am a resident here. Honestly don't do much P4P as meet plenty of non pros who want a relationship on Tinder.

Yet, I hear FB a lot. If I had a huge list of young Colombian girls as friends. My real friends would know something is up.

So do guys not care about family, have 2 accounts?

Would appreciate info on how you pull it off![/QUOTE]I have three FB accounts for different uses. Or simply go into your settings and keep your friends list from being seen, simple.

Pretty chill this week as a lot of people are out of town for Semana Santa. The beaches are probably packed. I even know some chicas vacationing in the DR.

If I stay in laureles I assume I would have to walk to Lleras. Correct? Or is there another place to find women in Laureles that I'm not aware of?

[QUOTE=Manizales911;3059089]I stayed on the 15th floor once and it was fine.[/QUOTE]I've stayed on those upper floors several times during the weekend and the noise from the street is very loud. Other people have noted the noise in reviews and I agree with them from personal experience. The noise may be fine with you but not for some others.

This Colombia trip is costing me $90 round trip flight. $290 - 200 credit card credit. I go to Jamaica for 3 months to care for my mother. Job pays for it. Every April I go someplace other than Jamaica for variety. So I stay true to my nature. Free or inexpensive. By the way about this time last year I was in Brazil. So I don't get stuck in one country. The high for me is exploring the world on a limited budget LOL. Ghana next. With my skills and research appearance. I think I can do well anywhere.

[QUOTE=PolloNegro;3057159]Jamaica is full of beautiful womenand I mean beautiful women. If you can be with a different woman every night for the price of a box of KFC, why would you even consider leaving the island for a place like Colombia? Just my thoughts. Enquiring minds want to know![/QUOTE].

AI on Colombia 183 rule: The 183-day rule in Colombia dictates that if you stay in the country for more than 183 days within any consecutive 365-day period, you become a tax resident, regardless of your visa status. This triggers the obligation to report and pay taxes to the DIAN on your worldwide income and assets. Key Aspects of the 183-Day RuleRolling Period: It is not limited to a calendar year (Jan 1 – Dec 31). It is any 365-day period. Physical Presence: The 183 days can be continuous or interrupted (totaled over several trips). Entry / Exit Days: Both the day you arrive and the day you leave count toward your total time in Colombia. Trigger Mechanism: Upon reaching day 184, you are considered a tax resident for the fiscal year in which the period concluded.

[QUOTE=ClamEater;3058837]I am a resident of Colombia. Yet I work really hard not to become a tax resident.

May not be a big deal if you only have retirement income or a modest salary. But if you have a successful business or investments, world income would leave you nothing left.

Also it is not 183 days in a year it is in the last 12 months. If you stayed 4 months say Late August, left for Christmas, returned in Feb and stayed 3 months you would already be over.

You might not trigger it on your departure. Coming back in would. Would have to wait to return until the prior August days had all fallen off, best below 180.[/QUOTE].

That is right although I think Ai got it 1 day wrong. My high priced CO tax accountant / attorney who lived in Miami for 15 years tells me. Don't go above 180.

Also my wording on triggering needs explaining. If you do hit 183 days. Yes you are by the letter of the law. You are to keep DAN happy for that Calendar year. Yet they won't know about it in a practical sense on your exit. If you do not stay out long enough to get under preferably 180 in the past 365 day so days falls off for each you are adding. DAN will be informed on your arrival.

In summary what really sucks about this is. If very close you have to plan your trips either at almost the same time each year or later in the year after the prior year. AND best Exit the same time or earlier if you came in the same time.

Royal PITA.

I always leave enough room if I would have to return for 10 days for something urgent in Colombia. (Not talking girls LOL).

I best add this is not legal advice.

There are a few casas in Laureles also but I have not been to them. Poblado is much more expensive, especially if you drink or dine around Parque Lleras or Provenza. Usually when I visit my paisa comes and stays with me. If I want to go to Lleras then it's a cheap Uber or Didi ride there. Walking would be too far. I like staying at San Peter because it's safe and I have a whole apartment with a kitchen, plus the noise doesn't bother me. But to each his own. Hope that helps.

For mongering, El Poblado is probably the better option between the 2 because of Lleras where there is a critical mass of available women. El Poblado also has better airbnb options, IMO. You would need to take a taxi from Laureles to Parque Lleras because it isn't walking distance. Really depends on what you like. If you want to be close to the action all the time, El Poblado is better between the 2, IMO. If you're doing FB or any kind of online stuff where you're not depending on streetwalkers, then you could probably stay pretty much anywhere (Envigado, Sabaneta, Belen, Laureles, Prado, Boston, etc.). But Lleras is pretty much ground zero for most sex tourists and night life seekers that visit the city. There is also El Centro if you like a more low budget trashier vibe.

When I moved to Medellin years ago I created a 2nd FB account with completely different info so as not to advertise to friends and family.

You also don't want to advertise yourself as a potential target.
