If there is one country you guys MUST visit its COLOMBIA. I have to many over the years. I popped my Travel Cherry in Brazil and Thailand in 2007. There still is not a better country OVERALL that has so much to offer. Whether you love Colombian Coffee, Colombian banking or Colombian girls its all good…
I have visited a couple of times now and still yearn for more of the place. They are simply the coolest people I have met in my life. Contrary to what many people believe they are laid back and chilled, not the screaming hyper people many Europeans and (Brits) imagine. I am a laid back guy and chilled out as many of you have seen from
my videos so I get on really well with Colombian people.
Is Colombia SAFE? YES!
Yes! Yes! Yes! It is but the beautiful thing is this is what has kept it untouched from stupid Tourists who would come to the country and mess it up. Our Western Women in our own countries are messed up so it was absolute heaven to enjoy real feminine women who go out of their way to please you. In EVERY way…. Cooking, cleaning decent conversation (although that was my own fault for only having basic spanish)
Anyway guys check out my selfie video of me in Bogota…Wow scary NOT! No crazy people running about with guns shooting each other NADA!
Great people
Having travelled all over the world now I can honestly say I have not met a more genuine nice group of people. Now theres other countries like Thailand where people are very nice to you BUT its their culture to be SEEN to be nice and polite. While they can mutter in their own language and laugh at you. Colombians are genuine and straight forward. Frown means somethings wrong. Smile everything is good. That sits well with me as a straightforward Scotsman.
Don’t get me wrong the countryside is worth coming to see; its absolutely stunning. The activities, great biking adventures to be had. I had to think to myself why I
didnt see many foreigners here…. Its because of the bad reputation Colombia has unjustly received over the years because of the drug period in the 80s and also the Marxist rebels hiding in the jungle causing trouble. Well let me tell you that’s over with. Its good for them because they are very decent and for us foreigners who want to visit.
Third world country?
Hell no! You have to experience things first hand (well I do anyway) to get a flavor of the country. I don’t like to take anyone’s word for it. I hope you guys watched my video mini series on walking around the streets of Medellin and Bogota and can see for yourself and perhaps consider visiting at some point. Its highly recommended for men and women, but I can only speak as a man. They have modern Malls or what we in the UK call “Shopping Centers” check out the photos….This ain’t Africa Kenya…great though that country was to see, they are a little behind even they would admit compared to a country like Colombia.Barranquilla
Colombia is sooo diverse it boggles the mind. In the north of the country on the coast, known to Colombians as “La Costa” is Barranquilla and Cartagena. I visited both and enjoyed everything they had to offer. Be warned though its HOT! Hotter than hell…..I was struggling with the humidity more than in Africa LOL

My spouse and I stumbled over here different web page
and thought I might as well check things out. I like what I
see so now i am following you. Look forward to finding out
about your web page yet again.
An impressive share! I have just forwarded this onto a colleague who had been conducting
a little homework on this. And he actually ordered me
dinner simply because I stumbled upon it for him…
lol. So let me reword this…. Thank YOU for the meal!!
But yeah, thanks for spending the time to talk about this matter here on your blog.
It’s remarkable to go to see this web site and reading your views on Colombia.
Some of my colleagues have been reading this post too and we are planning a trip there soon.
Any advice on where to stay first?
Wow good job! Its great to know I am having an impact out there with you guys, let me know how its goes and your welcome for the meal
Tubeman is proud of you 😉
Congratulations Wayne on gettingout of your bubble and rut and out into the unexplored world. Theres riches out there for the taking 😉
Yes I would recommend Medellin first as english is something they are sort of used to hearing. But the best bet is learn Spanish to a basic level and go and meet the locals. Especially the women 😉
Good luck buddy
Sweet, was thing of going there too but was nervous of the crime and drugs they had. Good to know dude
Congrats 😉
Thanks man, you inspired me to go and book a flight there in May!

“It is but the beautiful thing is this is what has kept it untouched from stupid Tourists who would come to the country and mess it up.” thanks for doing your part in helping fuck this up! that’s sarcasm btw.
Lol I got the sarcasm John. Glad you don’t think I’m a stupid Tourist, they will stick to the beaches and resorts anyway. When you going to visit Colombia?
