I lived in Medellín for four months a few years back. I'm dying to go back!
To add some numbers: Back in 2016,
- a basic but delicious lunch at the restaurant at the corner used to be ~7,000-8,000 COP (~2-3€ back then)
- rooms in shared apartments could easily be found for ~300,000 COP (~100€) per month (or even less if you're fine with very basic accomodation)
- a nice spacious apartment in one of the high rises was (at least) 1,000,000 COP (so ~300€) per month
USD and EUR have become stronger since then but at the same time the COP has seen some inflation, so I'm not sure what the current price level is.
> Ive been doing the nomad thing for almost 5 years now and the quality of life / $ is unbeatable.
What industry are you in? Is it only remote work that you do or do you (by now) also have people you collaborate with in Medallo?
- anm89 5y agoSurprise surprise, I do software consulting. Most of the prices you list are still roughly correct in 2021. It is getting easier to spend more here but the deals are still around. I arrived back here for my fourth trip about a week ago with no plans to ever leave. My goal is to do a startup in the tourism sector here. If you are in town write me an email
