Very nice. Venezuelans, Colombians, Guatemalans, Panamanians all told me to go to Medellin and I had a great time. Everyone was nice, great public parks, very decent monthly rentals on Airbnb and really cool public transit where you can take cable cars up the mountains around the cities. Good hikes with exercise parks at the top.
Medellin is now my alternate start-traveling location I recommend for affordability, health care, culture, food, and general easygoing-ness. It has most things Thailand has plus a way more comfortable climate.
I lucked out with the altitude and didn’t end up sick in Cusco, but i did run a lot in medellin beforehand to try to prepare, so maybe that paid off.
Are you any closer to making your travel choice?
Ah good idea. It’s probably Colombia, but I’m not sure where. I needed a motivating savings goal, so fingers crossed.
