Young Colombian wife- is it worth it? by European_chap
I've noticed that women in Colombia really love "one-day dramas." So, is it really okay to marry a woman from such a distant country? Even though I like everything about her, her whole environment – her family – just terrifies me!

Okay....I'll be a bit more detailed. It's always an ego boost when a pretty young thing pays interest to you, when those of the same age in your country won't give you a second look.1) If you are worried or concerned now about her family, then ... Read More

A Check on Petro's Economy Two Years In by futuro°µÍø½ûÇø
OK, we are two years in with the government of Gustavo Petro. All the "nattering nebobs of negativism" have been proven wrong. The Colombian economy is strong, one of the best in all Latin America. DANE just today released the data:Construction and ...

Even more amazing what Petro has accomplished when congress will not even pass a budget to fund national goals for all of Colombia. But that will boomerang back on the party that would not pass a national budget. Your argument on Argentina is based ... Read More

The narrow-mindedness is REAL. It got quite frustrating, so I stopped engaging people on this topic... let them think whatever they want. Unfortunately, this has made my social isolation here in Barranquilla (north coast) near-complete. I still ... Read More

Retirement in Colombia by Orion3131

This has been discussed quite a bit in this forum. Try a search first Read More
