Is Colombia safe? Is Medellín still dangerous? | The News & Netflix vs. The NEW Colombia (2020)

"Is Colombia safe? Is Colombia dangerous? What about the News and Netflix’s “Narcos,” aren't you guys afraid to be going to Medellín?"
That was what we got asked a lot before moving to Colombia, and after being there for over 3 months, we felt like this was a video we just HAD to make.
We spent the majority of our time living in Medellín and Cartagena. And so we wanted to address the question, “As tourists living in Colombia, did Medellín feel dangerous to us?” Well, this was our experience.

Nathan does a ridiculous amount of research on every place we travel (he geeks out on it and loves to find the "best of the best," esp. local favorites that are more hard to find), he always saves his notes in a spreadsheet, and uses it to help family plan trips. Now we're helping our friends online!

OUR STORY
Hey! We're Olivia and Nathan ?? A couple from California.

We met back in 2014 in Monterey, California. I (Olivia) was a senior in college & Nathan had recently moved back to the area after living in Italy.

After a few “deep life talks” (ones that were so foreign to me) and hearing about the lifestyle Nathan had been creating for himself for the last 6 years, I wanted to spend more time with him.

We started dating and I learned how he’d moved to Cambodia when he was 17, Germany when he was 18, Italy when he was 20, and was itching to travel again.

I was fascinated and wondered HOW THE HELL DID THIS GUY PAY FOR ALL OF THAT? IS HE A DRUG DEALER?

Nathan would work in California for 2 years, save every dollar he could, move abroad, find a job in that country, live there for 1-2 years and then do it all over again. Each time, he’d learn the language of that country, acquire new skills & make lifelong friends.

I was deeply inspired & wanted to travel with him. After 1 year of working our butts off and saving every dollar we could, we moved to Australia. We lived + worked there for 3 years (learned to speak perfect Australian lol) & created online jobs so we could continue traveling full-time.

CURRENTLY: When covid hit, we flew home and bought an RV to travel the US. That’s what we’re currently doing now, and boy is it a LEARNING CURVE but also thrilling!

Down to earth, entertaining, and informative is our goal — we want you to feel like you’re experiencing the day with us.
