Why do people move to Colombia?
When we asked people why foreigners move to Colombia, they responded...
"Colombia has become an increasingly attractive destination for expats due to its warm, welcoming atmosphere and its rich culture, diverse landscapes, and year-round pleasant climate. The country offers a lower cost of living than many other countries, with affordable housing, good public healthcare and an abundance of educational opportunities available, making Colombia a great place for expats to call home. Additionally, bilingualism is prevalent in the country, making it easier for expats to adjust to their new surroundings. Furthermore, the country's friendly people, vibrant nightlife and a sense of safety and security that many other parts of the world simply don't offer have all contributed to the increasing appeal of Colombia for expats," remarked another expat who made the move to Colombia.
"Medellin is knows as "The City of Eternal Spring", and the weather is the most agreeable of any place I have ever been. The country has had image problems in the past, and today the people welcome foreigners with open arms," explained one expat living in Medellin, Colombia.
