What it’s REALLY like to live in Medellin, Colombia?
“Colombia is dangerous. Don’t go there!”
“It’s full of drug traffickers, violence and kidnapping.”
“You’re going to Colombia?! Why??”
These were some of the reactions and warnings I received when I told people I was moving to Medellin, Colombia in summer of 2025
Granted, these reactions are fair given the fact that Medellin was once one of the most dangerous cities in the world.
But then again, does anyone say that sort of thing when people go to St. Louis, Missouri or Baltimore, Maryland (also some of the world’s most dangerous cities…and today, far more dangerous than Medellin)?
Didn’t think so.
I would like to share a wonderful article that explains why Medellin is a great place to live as an expat/immigrant or digital nomad. I’ve been traveling to Colombia for 15 years, and this authors view of Medellin really resonated with me. I could have written it myself but Mary did it so much better.
Enjoy this insiders opinion about living in Medellin as a digital nomad. If it sounds like a place you’d consider moving to then let’s connect— I may have an opportunity for you — a lovely shared home for expat or nomad women, located in beautiful Rionegro, just outside Medellin
