What Does $20 Get You in Medellin, Colombia?

[@Travelwithchris]

Hey Guys! I hope you enjoy this video through Medellin! Please make sure to watch it in HD as it was filmed with a GoPro for safety reasons! Looking forward to hearing from you all! 🙏🏻

It was very good filming with the GoPro

If you get any friend tell them who will they vote Uribe or Petro if they vote for Uribe they like to steal and they are dishonest because they like living in shit in poverty and they like to steal

Thanks for inviting that young man to sit down for a meal, when we visit relatives in Colombia, we do the same thing. There are so many people going over into Colombia from Venezuela for a better life, and something as simple as buying them a meal really helps them out. There was a period of time where it was the other way around, where struggling Colombians left for a better life in Venezuela. This was never forgotten and Colombians are more than happy to repay the favor.

[@Travelwithchris]

Thanks so much for enjoying the video! I appreciate the support so much!

[@jimtso9802]

I love the way you helped the young man from Venezuela and donating money to the dance group at the red light. Thank you!

[@Travelwithchris]

Thanks a lot Jim! I appreciate you supporting my work bro!

Sure, he'd never give a dime to any of the window washers who hustle before the tolls to enter the Lincoln tunnel in NYC. But hey, Gen Z tourists - cheap eats, drinks, living off mommy & daddy for big ticket items.

[@samebb7056]

You bought that guy a meal. You gained a sub. Thank you for being a great human being.

[@funkmachine9094]

"dry humid weather" it can't be both lol

[@guilletiger]

The drink is called "Guarapo" it has lemon but the difference to a lemonade is that it's based on sugar canne juice, directly extracted from the plant. Unique flavours you will only experience over there 🇨🇴

[@Travelwithchris]

Wow thank you so much for sharing that!

[@kingarthurj]

I just got from Medellin last month and fell in love with that drink. Isn’t it also called agua panela?

[@guilletiger]

@@kingarthurj agua Panela is made of already processed sugar cane blocks (unlike guarapo that is extracted from plant itself) and it does not contain lemon.

[@mariamorillo3294]

@@kingarthurj agua panela is actually a little bit more brown because the sugar is brown! very similar tho as they both have lime

[@felixdale3950]

I thought it looked like sugar cane like in Thailand

I'm surprised this video only has 65,000 views so far. This is one of the MUCH better videos showing off Medellin and it is well filmed. Super helpful info as well!

Great video! No nonsense, frills, drama... just how it is! Espanol es mucho bueno!

My husband and I live in MX and have recently decided we will go to Medallín next August, so we have been looking up info. This is the kind of video I like, no over-dramatizing things when you find something you're not used to (or sketchy LOL), just showing what you came across. Excellent video, thank you for sharing!

Con cuidado por la parte del centro, demasiado peligrosa, principalmente en la plaza Botero. ! Todo lo demás muy bueno .

You’ll love Medellin. There’s the rock to climb, outside of Medellin. But try the cable carts to climb the mountain in Medellin

Sometimes you come across a video that is interesting in many ways. Yet despite this being a simple tour in an interesting country, I find the creator pleasant to watch, and he talks with a good pace. So yeah i like this. So once again a great channel to explore. Well done 👍

[@sammiejohnson2618]

It's amazing how our US Dollars is worth in Colombia, I handed out lot of one bills to some homeless and needed people it makes you feel good to your heart ❤

[@RicoAbroad]

I did the same on my way out with the pesos I converted from USD. Figured I can’t use this back in the states so I literally walked around giving the money to anyone in need who asked

[@TheresTyrannyAfoot]

Did that too....then they swarmed us at a strip club later that night all geeked out on drugs....so I don't help the homeless anymore

[@guilletiger]

@@TheresTyrannyAfoot lack of common sense... its about knowing how to help people out and where...not throwing money all over the place in a dodgy area... it could've happened anywhere in the world tbf

[@guilletiger]

Next time buy them food or clothing instead like this guy did for the kid, by giving money it's only making them suffer more.. unfortunally much of the money ends up as crack money (bazuco) or it exarcevates security for other visitors that are not as willing as you of handing out money in the open to everyone that asks... they end up expecting just because you are foreign.

[@TheresTyrannyAfoot]

I very much enjoyed the walking tour and narration. I was in Medellin vicariously and it was helpful. I also appreciate the Spanish text, part of the immersion in the Latin culture. Thanks!

[@anthonybonardi2643]

I just ran into that venezuelan kid from the restaurant in el poblado. He was pretty excited to see the video

[@adolfoht100]

Nice video dude...the boys performing at the street light are also from Venezuela....gives you an idea of what life is like in Venezuela... Medellín is pretty safe, been there 8 times since 2015....but haven't been there since the Venezuelan migration which unfortunately have made the city somewhat unsafe...sadly they are struggling to survive anywhere they go...but I Medellín and its people are amazing...love it....

[@tonydialsr7190]

That was down with it man. They did their thing . Show more of the street performers. You got a good product.

It's really fun watching you, I am planning about traveling to Colombia, keep on doing this great job

[@centauria9122]

Me too next summer!

[@davisurdaneta1426]

I visited Bogota and Medellin in October 2019 but spent more time in Medellin, as much as i really love the city, the weather and its people. I left Medellin with heavy heart after witnessing the poverty. I witnessed 16 year olds girls engaging in prostitution at parque Lleras. I know it's easy said than done but I wish there's a sustainable sulotion to this problem. I've sponsonred several Venezuelan families at the start of the pandemic for a few months but i also lost my job at some point because of the restrictions. Thanks for sharing your blessing. I hope more poeple will do the same.

[@TnT-fq8hw]

[@claudiocorleone7856]

Terrific job ! I just subscribed. When I travel I figure on at least 100 US dollars a day for food drinks and entertainment. But I see 20$ can go far. Unfortunately my Spanish is limited and the locals see me coming a mile away and the price usually works against me. As an example your day would have cost me easily 60$ . Keep up the good work!

Good hearted, idol Chris! It's shows your genuine trademark of having a high EQ+SQ (emo.& spiritual intelligence) - people admire you for being a natural loving person, a truly unique Chris ❤ Love your journey from Serbia to Mexico, Colombia and now Venezuela ❤ Your streets, food, places, engagements in your vlog simply amazing, full of energy, humor, optimism, honesty - highly recommend for everyone. I am just bit sad why you only got 40k subs in here. I hope you explore the Philippines 🇵🇭 and for sure, your subs will hit 500K, why? Filipinos are all over the world, especially OFW (overseas foreign workers) for years, and misses their 700k islands! Be safe, idol Chris. Philippines love you ❤🇵🇭

Someday I’d like to visit; it’s amazing to see the generosity and the appreciation received. I help the unfortunate here periodically too but obviously the dollar doesn’t go far here - a few time they would scoff at the 10 bucks I gave them stating “that’s it?” as if it was insulting.

Parviz thank you so much!

[@threecampbells]

Nice of you to buy the young man a meal, my trip in Mexico I bought a few meals and helped the elderly. It doe's not hurt your wallet to help when someone is in need. I enjoyed the so called bad side of town, but then Los Angeles has just as dangerous and deadly areas. The art is amazing and the buildings beautiful and the people seem nice. I would be on edge and guard in the city, but that is life and travel in these areas of the world. Sad it costs $10 dollars for a woman in the red light district, this is very sad straight up man. the food looks great and all the carts and what you have eaten looked so good. Nice video and educational about the real life struggle of the Columbian and Venezuela people who live their. Blessings to the people🙏🏽

My go-to meal in a small restaurant like that is the fried trout that comes with all that and the soup is usually a fish soup. And of course the juice. Less than $4 USD... can't beat it. My favorite is Delicias De Mi Tierra Pacifica in downtown near the large Exito.
