The Mountains Are Calling
Soon, I will answer the call.
This morning, I sat down to research where I would be heading next and decided to put on Netflix simultaneously. I have been looking at countries with easy visas, where foreigners can buy property, and a relatively easy immigration process after the tourist/residency visa expires.
This has become the most important for me.
Most have safety at the top of their list, but if you learn the language and do not mess with the three big no-nos, you will be completely fine, trust me. Don’t be dumb; it’s easy; avoid drugs, prostitutes, and city centers after dark. I think this advice holds true in any city in the world right now.
The other day, my sister told me she does not go downtown Boston after 5 p.m. I looked at her and said I give the same advice to tourists in Medellin. She laughed.
The same things happen here; they no longer fear me living in South America after off and on for four years, though, and most likely will all eventually immigrate with me.
Back to my research, I put on Netflix, and of course, I am in documentaries, and I found one on the Magical Andes. Seriously?
It is not helping my decision. When I think that maybe the Colombian long-term visa is too damn complicated, it draws me back…
