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

"Expats and digital nomads often appreciate the affordability of living in Colombia, as well as the friendly and welcoming culture of the locals. They also enjoy the country's diverse landscapes, from the Caribbean coast to the Andes mountains, as well as the vibrant cities and towns. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the infrastructure and public services to be lacking, as well as the lack of reliable internet access in some areas. Additionally, the language barrier can be a challenge for some, as Spanish is the primary language spoken in Colombia," commented one expat who made the move to Colombia.

"I love Villavicencio, the llanero and the rivers and the culture is amazing. It has all the modern conveniences with many large malls and great restaurants. Guanajuato at Prima Vera is as close to TexMex as it gets. Bastimento has amazing American and traditional dishes. Overall has many wonderful day trips in the area," remarked another expat in Villavicencio, Colombia.
