Omg just found this channel as I am considering retiring to Colombia from New York… The only thing that has me thinking twice is EARTHQUAKES.. but omg I love what I have seen from Colombia

[@kidgotyourticket5474]

Welcome to the channel!!! This is the reason we started the channel. So people like you could get a glimpse in Colombia. The earthquakes 😂. Been through 3 since we got here. 2 of them I didn’t realize they happened until someone told us about it. It’s like riding the subway in New York.

[@johnescobar9951]

Pereira or Manizales are apropiate for retiring, are cheapper and safety

[@edwardmille8879]

I have a three bedroom two bath apartment just outside in a little town called Santa Rosa you can look it up. First week I was sure we had an earthquake I'm from San Francisco so I know about earthquakes there wasn't a single crack in my building. You can get correctly built apartment like mine for $200 a month. The other advantage the Santa Rosa I can go in a cab from my house into Central Santa Rosa for$1.25 no crime no mass shootings.

Bogota 9 million people like living in New York I wouldn't advise it. Medellin 2.5 million people if you stay out of there areas where Americans live reasonable pricing beautiful city. If you can handle living as a Colombian I suggest two neighborhoods San Diego or Santa Monica stay out of the gringo areas it'll cost you way too much from nothing more than you can get in the first two areas I told you about.

Great Video! I didn't know Pereira had Cable Cars like Cali and Medellin. Hope to be there this coming June! Keep on making the videos. I think once your channel hits 1,000 subscribers it will take off like never before. Thanks!

[@kidgotyourticket5474]

Thanks DBerg! Glad you’re enjoying them.

[@edwardmille8879]

I live in Santa Rosa 12 mi away low temperatures 60 degrees heat no more than 80°you do have a fair amount of rain. Like Medellin it's primavera with a little more rain. Much cheaper than many where I live for a couple years again in a neighborhood not occupied by Americans.

[@kidgotyourticket5474]

We were just in Santa Rosa yesterday visiting the thermal springs. Love Santa Rosa!

[@edwardmille8879]

I live in Santa Rosa it's a beautiful little city 12 miles from Pereiar in my neighborhood there are no Americans which is good. Great people inexpensive. I have a three bedroom two bath apartment extremely nice I paid $200 a month My TV internet gas water lights about $75. The key to living in another country is this. When I'm in Columbia I am Colombian when I'm in Italy I am Italian. Growing coffee here send it to my son at the farm in America to sell at the farm stand. Slowpace no drama no man shootings fantastic neighbors life is good.

We just out here living the dream! Stay cool Edward. Thanks for watching!

[@dovygoodguy1296]

What is the temperature and climate like in Pereira? Is it cool with low humidity like Cuenca Ecuador and Arequipa Peru?

[@kidgotyourticket5474]

It's mostly spring like weather year round.

[@dovygoodguy1296]

@@kidgotyourticket5474 How about the humidity??

[@radad12]

I would like to know pereira

[@kidgotyourticket5474]

It's so cool.

[@dovygoodguy1296]

How are the weather (humidity ) and air pollution levels compared to Medellin, which has a lot of both?? How are the best neighborhood? Los Alamos?

[@kidgotyourticket5474]

Hi Dov! Humidity should be about the same in Medellin as in Pereira. Yet, Last time we were there it seemed a lot hotter and couldn't wait to get back to Pereira. We love the weather here. Stay tuned as we're planning on doing a video on the neighborhoods here in Pereira. Not the bad ones but the ones where expat families might want to live. Thanks for watching!

[@dovygoodguy1296]

@@kidgotyourticket5474 My understanding was that Medellin had high humidity and air pollution. But Pereira was much milder and has clean air.

[@radad12]

Can anyone tell me if $150 is a lot to spend in restaurant in pereira for 4 people

[@kidgotyourticket5474]

In Colombia yes. But, it depends on the restaurant and city.

[@edwardmille8879]

Don't eat where the gringos eat if you're in Columbia live like a Colombian.

[@nycgweed]

You would need to order 12 entrees and a bottle of liquor

[@bryanmanderville4196]

You are lucky to have a toilet seat

[@kidgotyourticket5474]

[@edwardmille8879]

I have a three-bedroom two-bath apartment with a nice view of the mountains I paid $200 a month $75 covers gas water electric internet and TV. No man shootings no Trump morons life is good here.
