@ChineduOpara It really depends on what is motivating you to expat in Colombia. In my case my wife has all of her family there so other locals they may or may not be more financially attractive are not so because of familial concerns. There is no ... Read More

Colombian driver's license by CaliRay
I've been in Colombia for more than 11 years and during that time my U.S. driver license expired. Getting a new one there is quite a bureaucratic nightmare I'd rather avoid. Currently in Texas you must wait two months or more just for an ...

@ChineduOparaDon't move somewhere that already has scarcity. Yeah, you don't like that one I bet. So the next best thing. Just like money; water and electricity are a limited resource. Do you know where your water and electricity go; that is what ... Read More

Hi everyone, I am so confused. I've tried researching this and I keep getting vague answers or wildly different conclusions, most of which don't seem to make much sense. If anyone can clarify and set me straight I will be incredibly grateful. I do ...
