Moving to Colombia

Posted by escapethematrix999@reddit | expats | View on Reddit | 3 comments

Tired of the UK and over extortionate rent. Have an online job and about 40k savings. Looking to move to Cali, Colombia from the UK (26M) Can get by in Spanish and will learn more. Spent 6 weeks in Colombia, been to every major city and landmark. 1 week in Cali itself. Cali just had that spark of somewhere where I could settle. Love the diversity of people/colour, the weather, nightlife. Not over saturated with gringos either. The rest of the major cities are tourist traps I found apart form Bogota which I liked but don’t like the cold weather. I’m aware Cali is very dangerous and not advised to go out late at night past 10pm. Been to many countries like this (Travelled all of South America) and I have a good sense of vigilance. What are people’s opinions?

You know more than me specifically and I wish you success. Someone that recently tried to move to Poland on more than double that admittedly a family and cat I had major issues with visa ensure you get all your admin done in advance your job or property but man go for it if you think it's possible six weeks is a long time to know more than most.

Also as I said little thinks like transfering GBP to your currency and banking get it all sorted before hand

I didn’t find Cali to be very dangerous but I didn’t really like it. Not much to do… I was there for a girl but I didn’t like the city enough to give the relationship a fair chance
