Colombia sounds exciting — until you realize how much you don’t know.

  • You’re tired of wasting hours scrolling YouTube or Reddit for half-baked advice.
  • You don’t know which visas are legit, which agencies to trust, or which neighborhoods are actually safe.
  • You’ve heard horror stories about rental scams, dating pitfalls, and culture shocks — and you don’t want to learn the hard way.
  • You just want straight answers from someone who’s lived it, done it, and knows how to make Colombia work as a foreigner.

Everything you need to live, work, and thrive in Colombia.
