Comment from : Republic of Handball

Is it common to get robbed? I will be going to Bogota I am brownskin (Indian/Pakistani) If you do get robbed - do they carry knives or guns? In London it's getting very bad people are getting stabbed over watches etc

Comment from : Bodi Baba

Comment from : Manuel Castro

Also, make copies of your credit card, passport and any other important documents Before going to Colombia let your credit card institution know that you'll be traveling there so they could note take that down on your records and not freeze your card because it's being used in a foreign country Keep some money in your pocket, in your socks and other hidden compartments

Comment from : Aaron Butler

I paid for most of my expenses with my cc I kept the cash at the Airbnb I was staying at
Comment from : Shikuretto

I'm interested in purchasing a commercial kiosk, How do I get information
Comment from : Marshon Brooks

In Colombia I usually kept about 200mil in my wallet, one 50 plus an array of smaller bills The rest of my 50s were rubber-banded with my backup dollars in my front pocket, underneath a bandana This wad was never taken out in public One tip to avoid pickpocketing in risky situations (ie standing at a food stall with crowds passing behind you) is to wear your shirt untucked and pull it tight in front with one hand Pickpockets are not dumb, they won't try if they clearly won't succeed
Comment from : Lanthanum Khloride

It doesn't hurt to ask first if a smaller business wants to take a larger bill I always tried to pay with one bill and get one bill in change, it's fair for both parties A few purchases from street vendors can easily wipe out all your 2s, so don't spend them at stores I used coins at businesses only to simplify making changeeg pay 11mil for a 6mil purchase And always state how much you are paying when you hand over cash
Comment from : Lanthanum Khloride

I do exactly the same thing in all the LATAM countries In Argentina now, it's exactly what you're saying but half the value (ie $30-$100 USD worth of local)
Comment from : inlovelyblue

I laughed a little because you had a bunch of money on the table and you were constantly looking around and behind your back
Comment from : Scott Larson

I'm pretty sure you can spend 2000 usd a week on paid girls anywhere in the world XD
Comment from : InternetFreeForever

How much do you spend annually?
Comment from : Notorious NIG

Hay David i may know someone who is interested in your retail space What mall is it in?
Comment from : Robert Feldman

Are there kiosks on every street like in Thailand to change your currency? Like where does a person just arriving into the country with cash in pocket change to local currency
Comment from : Overrated99

Comment from : C T

I was definitely guilty of the wad of cash thing Gonna started folding my cash small bills out and keeping big bills separate from smaller bills
Comment from : D Pham

David, these are excellent informational videos on Colombia (not just this one, but the recent ones you've done the past few months) Only someone who's spent a lot of time in the country has this in-depth knowledge Keep it going!
Comment from : Paul Dilla

Wow! The prices for grocery trip are under $25 dollars USD? I spend that much easily
Comment from : Ana

If you can get a nice vacation for 150 USD/ 600,000 Pesos that is a good deal!
Comment from : Ana

Spending 2000 in a week is easy I'd you get hustled by Overpriced tours
Comment from : Joeflirt

Comment from : Catalina Uribe

Comment from : Universo Spiritual Unido

You are always looking around in your videos like you are afraid you are about to be robbed or attacked Have you had a bad experience in Colombia? Where you this alert in the States?
Comment from : Anonymous65

Normally I only carry 200,000 cop unless I’m going somewhere special where I might spend more

Comment from : osman mohamed

Where is the best place to convert our US currency? Airport, bank, ATM?
Comment from : Jason Rueda

Excellent vlog! As a long time subscriber I enjoy all your videos as I like your down to earth style but one's like this, how to ride the metro, finding an apartment, etc that are very practical in nature are most helpful on the ground Ok stay well and look forward to future content 👍
Comment from : Rex Zordan

I read online that licences to carry a firearm are very restrictive in Colombia Would you attribute this the to high rate of robberies, there? How do the citizens feel about the govt not allowing them to protect themselves I've watched enough of your videos to ascertain that the criminals have no problem getting a gun
Comment from : MC Transportation

Thank you for the tips In 2 days I come to Colombia and I'm overwhelmed about the money So if a taxi cost let's say 5euro How much in pesos will be? Thank you
Comment from : S Bucket List

Great video David You asked if anyone has spent $2000 US in a week in Colombia Yes I have but I was with my girlfriend in Cali and we stayed at the Marriott and we went grocery shopping and to the mall also😄😉 I am always amazed at the amount of places that do not accept credit cards That’s all I bring so we are forced to go to the big shopping places because the mom and pop stores and boutiques don’t accept card😫
Comment from : Rich Spicerjr

Hi David, can you do a video on clearing immigration at Jose Maria airport Does the immigration officers speak English?
Comment from : Kristin A Beneby

I think the most I ever had there in Colombia on me at one point was 300,000 pesos That was for taking a cab for a day to Guatape and back and not knowing what type of ATMs would be there Of course i was very nervous having that in my wallet walking around brI've also noticed a lot of places that I go to, the larger places like you say, David, take credit card I feel much better using that in case it gets stolen Canceling that and getting the money back will be much easier With cash it's impossible I would say typically I had maybe 100 or 200,000 pesos I get reimbursed at the end of the month for ATM fees so it's worth it paying them at the time and having less I feel like
Comment from : Egypt

Actually as a colombian myself, let me tell you that you are making a huge mistake Never put big bills with smaller bills together in the same pocket or wallet Always Keep the big bills in your socks or a hidden pocket and the small bills handy I think the reasons for doing that are pretty self explanatory so I won't elaborate on that Stay safe
Comment from : JorgeBernier5d

I agree Dominican Republic is like that, if they robbed you n you don’t have enough money, they will shoot just cause of that
Comment from : Juan Omar Frias

I love your way of thinking! 🙏🏻💕😘
Comment from : Ruth C R
