First time posting…been reading through all the great content on here for the last couple of weeks. Mixx, Dash, Gman, and the rest of the forum…a sincere hat-tilt to you all! Awesome work, and thank you!
I hope to reach back and help in the near future. Ok…so, I’ve booked my ticket, flying in and out of Medellin 12/22 and leaving on 01/25.
Needless to say, my goal will be to see as much as possible, chase tail, and also work on my Spanish. The last one point is actually very important too. Planning on doing 3 weeks of one on one Spanish lessons. I’ve done this in Costa Rica before, but not finding it as easy to find schools in Colombia. Any tips appreciated!
ADVICE NEEDED: Ok…so, I’m thinking of doing Medellin for about 2 ½ weeks, and then was thinking of doing maybe Baranquilla for a week, and Cartagena for a week, and possibly a few days in Santa Marta.
Very open to any and all advice from you experienced players! Would you guys recommend this as a good itinerary? (SPANISH will be at a high intermediate level upon arrival) In Medellin, I plan on staying with a local host family to help me with my Spanish, and then was thinking a hotel or apartment in Baranquilla and Cartagena. My only concern is…I know these are peak times, and I need to lock some accommodation up soon. BUT, I don’t want to be too tied to plans. Usually like to be flexible when I travel, but don’t want to get assed out with no place to stay in each of the beach cities. Make sense?
Should I be going to Bogota? Weather doesn’t sound appealing, but if I should be going there…I’m open to anything. Definitely prefer the heat/sun. Cali? Not a huge dancer…wouldn’t go for the salsa, as I understand it’s known for. As far as women. I’m an ass man! (Shhiittttt….and titties…haha) Medium complexion…shit I love ‘em all.
All that said…I’m just looking to have a blast. Very open traveller, and know how to roll with whatever comes my way. Would like to have a place to take ladies, especially the last couple of weeks. I don’t mind staying with a family in Medellin, as this is a great experience too.
Any tips/insight you boys can share will be greatly appreciated. I’ve read many datasheets on here, and tried to not waste people’s time posting duplicate shit. Thanks in advance.
One last question: If I take a Verizon World Phone Blackberry, with the SIM card, and buy a Colombian SIM card – does anyone know if I will be able to get a data plan so I can receive email? Gotta stay in touch with the office.
Peace,
Jesse
