When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Bogota, they replied...

"Expats and digital nomads living in Bogota often appreciate the city's vibrant culture, diverse cuisine, and affordable cost of living. They also enjoy the city's vibrant nightlife, its many parks and green spaces, and its proximity to other cities in Colombia. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the city's traffic and pollution to be a challenge. Additionally, the city's high crime rate can be a concern for some," wrote a member who made the move to Bogota, Colombia.

"What attracted me to Columbia is nature and weather. You could actually find the right weather for you which is a driving distance. There are cities in Colombia that have same temperature all year long and I'm talking about nice weather not hot and not cold. People are friendly here especially with expats and white people. I was living in Dubai for some time but realistically you need a permanent home and so far Colombia seems to be my permanent home location," explained one expat living in Bogota, Colombia.
