I see this happening here in Medellin. I always wonder how can i not be a part of the problem. I moved to Colombia, but I did move here to live differently than in the US. I live in the mountains, my bf is colombian and we pay colombian prices for our life. I do not want the same life i had in the US or i would of not let, i never understand those who move just to have the same life but cheaper overseas. It is such a disservice to the country they move to, and then we see it reflected in rents in cities. Some places in medellin are so expensive now due to the influx of gringos moving in.. Great read, i think i have binged read all your stuff this week..
