Have heard a lot about this Marco, but your post definitely put things in a much better perspective! Living in Asia, I have always been fascinated by South America. Looking forward to part 2 🙂
I live in the US, but I'm going to add Colombia to my list of places to visit!
Sounds like a great place! I love cities that don't require a car and eveything is easily accessible! Great detail in your post.
This is a place I had never considered travelling to let alone retiring to. I am now going to be reconsidering my shortsightedness. Thanks so much for such a detailed and considered overview.
Thanks for the great article. I have to admit to having had some pre-conceived ideas about Colombia and never would have thought of retiring there.
Definitely will be planning a vacation there to be open to options of retirement
Hi Kevin,
That is a smart move. If you can, try to stay for a few weeks and live somewhere outside the normal tourist El Poblado zones. Going to "live" someplace has a different feel than vacationing there as a tourist. It's a fantastic city. Let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers,
Marco
Hello Marco, great information. I have visited many cities in Colombia, and I am planning to retire there by 2023. My brother lives in Medellin so I go there often. Hopefully we can hook up when I go there. I currently work for AT&T.
Hi Ivan,
Thanks for reaching out. Medellin is a phenomenal city. One of my global favorites. I'm not currently in the city (I'm enjoying some beach time in Vietnam), but definitely ping me when you get back in the area.
Cheers, Marco
