$3800/month? if you can work remotely, you could go to a place like Medellin and get a penthouse suite with 5 bedrooms, a 360 view of the city AND cleaning staff and personal chef for less than that!!
And still have money left over. If you work in tech there is a strong developer community and you can get away with not speaking the language as 5-bedroom penthouse suites are located in neighborhoods where almost everyone is bilingual, from waiters to C-level execs.
Why the fuck would I want to live in Medellin?? I don't even speak the language, and all my friends and family are on a different continent entirely.
Most people aren't digital nomads.
There are plenty of English speakers in poblado. The women are beautiful. The meat and produce is super fresh and the people are super friendly. I was there for 6 months and absolutely loved it. it was way better than living in SF. If I wasn't working on my startup in Europe, I'd go back there in a heartbeat.
