GIRLFRIEND / FIANCE/ WIFE (??) FROM COLOMBIA by JohnyLondon

A bit of advice: Colombians are great women. Healthy, seemingly happy, dancing, oh - you would like to forget about God's world.You will be surrounded by laughter and dancing in the fumes of wine and beer, if you buy aguardiente - they will ...

@JohnyLondon I may just be a terrible person, but I flirted with a Paisa smoking-hottie online. The moment she mentioned a sister, I asked to have her join in, flirting ended up three-way, after which they got more selective about introducing me ... Read More

Open an office in Medellin? by SoyJames

Hello Expat Community, My name is James and I am thinking of living in Medellin for awhile. I have a Social Enterprise in Denver Colorado that helps people teach each other English and Spanish, and part of the dream is to start a program in ...

Thanks for the input! Honestly, Chiang Mai is because it's also pushing tech development and I will essentially need studios on all continents. I don't much have an Asian mystique thing so will likely leave that one in a partner's hands ... Read More

English (and French) speaker, prospects in Colombia? by MiskatonicPhD

I'm visiting in a few months, but people keep telling me I'll love it and want to stay. My Spanish is currently poor, though of course improving it then immersing myself is a priority. What I'd like to know is, how might my marketable ...

Again (I am working backwards from the bottom of this thread) thank you for your kind words and excellent advice, particularly coming from a Canadian perspective (even if you did come from Toronnah) to which I can relate. I may pick your brains in ... Read More

Thank you kindly for your advice. If I make a run at this business plan, it will pretty much require that I begin in Medellín, and so live there as well (naturally). I really do want to spend some time on the coast, Santa Marta, etc., and ... Read More

Thanks for your insights, I'll give them serious consideration. At the same time, being a digital nomad can mean establishing an online business wherever, serving wherever and all over. I've had the odd notion for start-ups in Canada, but generally ... Read More
