Some Forum Posts:

Colombia: Colombian wife:

What are the visa/residency advantages in Colombia with a Colombiana?

Colombia: Problems at Customs with a Return Flight Booked Over 90 Days?:

Arepas are good!

Colombia: Car rental:

Appreciate the thoughts but I will be driving with my Colombian girlfriend visiting relatives in varies places, often in the countryside, and we need the "freedom" to come and go!

Colombia: LIVING THE DREAM:

My suggestion and expereince is a little different, and so far, has worked for "us"! I met my girl friend on LAC and we corresponded for a while learning about one another using google translate. Far from perfect, but it works. She already had a US travel visa, so I brought her here. Twice. We've had lots of fun and a few challenges. She's back in Colombia, and I will visit in April for the first time. We got a lot of the "issues" out while here on my turf, which is better I think than trying to do it there first. I am looking forward to seeing Colombia and meeting an already nice and warm family! YMMV!

Colombia: US restrictions begin on Colombian visas:

Nellie, you missed the Federal judge in Washington State who issued a TRO on the Trump ban as unconsitutional.

Mexico: BEST walk Ability?:

Where in MX are these places?

Colombia: One Way Tickets and Does Colombia have an equivalent of the Fiancé(e) (K-1) Visa / 90 Day Fiance in the US?:

One would think it much easier and even less expensive to bring the Colombiana to the US and marry here. Plus have a prenup here.

Mexico: Golf & Boat top 3 cities in Mexico:

San Carlos, while very nice, it is not in the "top 3" nor even close to PV or Cabo in any way. Fortunately it is more Mexican than gringo!

Mexico: Moving:

Start with your local Mexican consulate. I too am looking at moving to San Carlos from AZ.

Colombia: Pros and cons of columbia:

Place a great Colombiana in the US at 4400' elevation, you have it all. Great weather, cold beer, great cheese, a clean house, and unbelievable arepas!
