Dope as always my brother!

[@explorequipo]

Thanks brother!!! I'm working hard to make good content!

[@Castlecrown1]

At $1,400- 1,500 a month you are living like a rock star if you know what you are doing.

[@explorequipo]

Absolutely!!!! It's a good life in Cali for that!

[@Gus5515]

Since the top one percent is around 1000 a month in income

[@Gus5515]

@Wandering_nomad_forever-xl7uq wow, I spend a lot less then that and live great. I have a 3 bedroom 3 bath apartment for now with weaker dollar, $400 a month fully air conditioning. In stratus 6. With rent, utilities, food, uber 3 trips a day, and $180 a month for school for a 6 year old. Going out for a nice stake dinner once a week. Maybe around $1500, take away the dinners out. 1200 a month

i was in Cali in April 2023. I love this Chipichape commercial complex

[@gisellethomas4579]

I did purchased a home in Canta Claro-Cali-Colombia The best move . No regrets

[@explorequipo]

I've lived in Latin America for the past 2 and a half years, and I have spent a lot of time here in Colombia. I miss Cali a lot, although I do love Medellín. But you can't deny the charm of Cali I love it a lot!

@@explorequipo I traveled all around Colombia for 2 years and ended up here in CALI ... just fell in love with the uniqueness of the city. The food, the weather, the people and the Caleñas are awsome !!

[@vanhalen45]

Your content is honest and very very informative. What you do is very important for those of us who are either travelers at heart or potential overseas retirees. Your monthly expense values of $1500 are really spot on for many of us who are looking to retire or relocate to columbia. Also, I am glad that you exclude discussion of the fuss related to crazy nightlife. Keep it real my friend.

[@explorequipo]

Thanks for watching! I will say this was last year so there's some adjustments for inflation. But yes it's very affordable to live in Colombia especially Cali. Yeah I'm not a big nightlife guy, sure I like to go out and enjoy. But I don't really highlight this on my channel.

Walking thru Chipichape, Fun Place on the Weekends.. learned to stay away from Casino across from Mc Donald's.

[@explorequipo]

Oh yeah, I've never been in a casino in Colombia ever. And I don't plan to go either. Chipichape is a very fun place to go.

[@gisellethomas4579]

Cali is way better than Medellin .

[@joshwebb554]

Haha I lost money in that casino..

[@maimericks80]

Always been fascinated by the life in Colombia, may have to visit there one day. Great video ❤

I pay $ 500-550 a month. It pay for everything plus a $90 phone in the states. I live as a local lives in stata 5.

[@explorequipo]

Oh nice, I'm in a strata 5 too. But I do more eating out and Starbucks everyday which is something that I need to quit. But I still don't go over budget. But I would like to spend less, which is doable

[@NomadicJayye2021]

Sounds like you have made Cali your home. I definitely miss those prices. LOL Although I've noticed that prices have gone up a little, Colombia is still one of the cheapest country to live comfortably that I have visited.

[@explorequipo]

Well I haven't made Cali home yet, there's still some other cities that I have in mind. But I will do another video once I compare to some other cities. Yeah I think I was telling prices more or less from the Granada area, but I did say you could spend less than what I'm spending or more it really will just depend on the person. Because I know a few guys that spend $2, 000 or more a month just because they want more luxury accommodation. But definitely it's stillvery inexpensive to live here. But hahaha I ended up spending more time in Cali for a few reasons lol

[@NomadicJayye2021]

@@explorequipo what is it about Calif to make you stay there longer than normal?

[@explorequipo]

Friends, for the most part in particular. But also I have a good set up in Granada. But I have plans to go back to Medellín really soon. And then I'll be going to another city after that. I would say Cali is definitely in the running for a possible landing spot, but there's one city that is definitely at the top for me now. But I will say I never considered living in Cali until I came back this time around it really grew on me.

[@NomadicJayye2021]

@@explorequipo From watching some of your videos, I can see how it grew on you. I never really gave it a chance. However I did enjoy the parts i visited.

[@hjon9119]

i was there in April 2023. Chipichape is nice. thanks for the recording

[@explorequipo]

Nice I left in April 2023, I'm probably going back really soon.

[@orlandomodeno7567]

Hi, south Cali, near Cuidad Jardin mall is actually more expensive, where a lot of the upper middle-class families live. Very green, lots of great restaurants too.

[@explorequipo]

Thanks for watching! Yes I heard that, I've been there a few times, I actually will be making some videos there soon. But I appreciate you sharing that information.

[@AphrooneRichardson]

Cali! I'M COMING! Greeting! Thank you for your very informative an enlightening video! ANKH-ASE!

[@rologa78]

Love Cali !!! I was there meeting a beautiful lady (Caleña) I met online !! Planning on going back a few times a year !! Love the food and weather !!

[@explorequipo]

Cali is definitely a special place for sure.

[@paxtecum4814]

The word Chipichape comes from "ship shaper" and it is an old story.

[@explorequipo]

Fun fact! Thanks

[@Gus5515]

I dont live in cali all the time, but do have a luxury apartment, 3 bedroom 3 bath 1200 sqft. Pay 400 a month with at least 4 security guards onduty 24/7. Stratum 6.

[@explorequipo]

That's awesome. I'm truly considering going back to Cali soon. It's a lot of good places to rent there

[@keithdixon2851]

i plan to travel to Cali and Bogota around august for 2 weeks. where can i get a safe place to stay and what should i pay for 2 weeks. also what app should i use for an uber and money conversion? do you have links for the app.

[@explorequipo]

Well in Cali you want to look in the north... Granada, El Peñón, and Chipichape areas, in Bogota Chapinero close to Zona T, they're some good areas around the city center but I would look near Zona T. As far as apps to use you can use Uber, Didi, Cabify, and just look on Airbnb for accomodations

[@Malkatanja]

I found your channel nice to meet you ❤

[@explorequipo]

Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy my content!!!

[@NomadicJayye2021]

I like the way to walk around. I have this "philosophy" of lack of a better word is that whenever i move to an area, it's best to to go with the "grain" or flow of the city to really fit in even if when don't look like the people around. You seem to follow that same "philosophy'.

[@explorequipo]

Yeah this area really has grown on me a lot, and it's at a point where people at certain places recognize. Also I speak with a lot of people in building because they see me so much. So maybe more than any other place I've been I haven't ventured out much in Cali I really like this area a lot. And it's made me a little more comfortable with being a part of a community. I usually always feel like a visitor, but I've been in one apartment the entire time I've been in Cali.

[@NomadicJayye2021]

@@explorequipo Yeah...that makes a huge difference - familiarity. Even when I went back to Laureles, it felt like home because i knew where everything was.

[@explorequipo]

Yeah I wished I would have stayed in Laureles the entire time I was in Medellín. I stayed there on month. Speaking of which I think it's way past time to start releasing Medellín footage

[@termita358]

I am from Cali, in my 50s. I am mot spendeing 5 bucs on a meal. 😂😂😂 i spend more like 10 to 20. I guess that depends on your age and how much you pay attention to your diet.

[@explorequipo]

Well that's true as well. I was only giving examples, but I've too spent 10 to 20 bucks on meals in Cali too, and I do in other parts of Colombia as well. But I also said I eat a lot at home too so I don't always eat out.

[@Larrabasterra1]

Yo por que practiques el español, te escribo en mi idioma. Recuerda que el "english", no se me da bien. Menudo paseo que te has (hemos) dado. No tengo ningún inconveniente en dar muchos más contigo. Y tanto que mencionas al C.C. Chipichape, veo que te gusta. A mi me pasa lo mismo con el Boulevard del Río. Esperemos que con suerte, termines viviendo en Cali. O en su defecto Colombia. Y que lo disfrutes. Muy ameno el paseo. Estás hecho un "korrikolari" (andarín). Te vas a conocer toda la ciudad, antes de que te des cuenta. Espero nuevos episodios... Saludos desde España!!!

¡Gracias amigo! Sí, cada vez que salgo en Cali aprendo algo nuevo. Siempre una alegría en esta ciudad!

Nice video …any chance on doing a video on the women in Colombia ?

[@explorequipo]

Possibly.....but I don't want to be another channel exploiting Colombianas. I definitely want to make a video talking about dating and such. So we'll see.

[@explorequipo]

You made me think about it more, and I will be making a video on dating Colombian women very soon!

Granada is very expensive and very gringo compared to other areas in Cali

Absolutely.... I've said on this video it depends on where you want to live. There's many places in the city one can choose to live.

What type of work do you do what you have to give up what’s the name of the field you’re in if you can give me the name specifically that would be a great help and I will appreciate it thank you great video

[@explorequipo]

Thanks for watching, well I can tell I work in marketing. I can't actually tell you who I work for or what we specifically do, because I signed a nda. But there's so many ways to earn money online it's doable to work anywhere in the world now.

[@SPLASHGOD575]

​@explorequipo Any advice bro? I'm trying to move out the states. Could starting a buisness in Cali be profitable enough to sustain one's self there. I need a way out of this hell hole.

[@teamhomehunter]

I am from Cali, but I live outside the country. Why did you change from Living in Medellin to Cali?

[@explorequipo]

Well I have good friends in Cali, but I'm also considering going back to Medellín. But I also plan to go to some other cities too. I've actually spent time a few places in Colombia but since I'm in Cali I figured I'd talk about my experiences here.

[@rologa78]

I also decided to settled in Cali instead of Medellin, I think the potential of Cali to become a turist destination is huge. I bought an apartment in El Peñon neighborhood (next to San Antonio) and it has appreciated a lot, like 35 %.. I rent in AirB&B every now and then and make really good money.
