do you guys recommend bringing cash like $300-500 ahead of time and then using my bank card for atm?? I am just nervous of getting robbed or mugged so maybe only go out with like $50 at night..
Yeah, that's your best bet. I was there for two months and never got bothered, even though I'm a tall blonde gringo. I wore nothing shiny that would attract attention: no jewelry, no watch, no phone in public. Simple dark t-shirts and jeans and white sneaks.
At night, go out with $50 and a photocopy of your passport. That's all you need. Maybe your phone too, but I did pretty well without it. Keep an extra $20 in your shoe or sock just in case but honestly if you're not stupid you shouldn't have any problems.
I would absolutely avoid Lleras. It's 50 to 75 percent prepagos Thu/Fri/Sat night. Much more authentic is La 33 or La 70. I lived right near both and used to hit up some of those clubs pretty regularly. That said, however, night game in Medellin is not so great -- there's not a lot of civil trust, thanks to Escobar and the civil war twenty-five years ago, so people don't mix very easily. They sit in tight circles. I had way more luck with online game.
Day approaches are not as dangerous as you might've been led to believe, but Linux is right -- just have situational awareness, and only approach the girls who give you a preapproved eyefuck. (If you've seen it, you know what I mean.) Pro tip: Focus on the hours from 4 pm to 6 pm when the professional girls are on public transport going home. I had a friend there who swooped regularly during that time. He was done with work at 4 pm himself, and he called it "happy hour" lol.
