Living in Medellin, Colombia: My $1800/month Budget

In this video, I move to Medellin and give a break down the exact cost of living in Medellín, Colombia, and compare it to Houston, Texas. From rent to groceries, phone bills, and more, you’d be surprised at how much you can save in Colombia versus living in a major U.S. city. I also give detail on the things I will be doing while living here in the El Poblado neighborhood of Medellin as well as exploring other neighborhoods such as Envigado, Laureless, Comuna 13, and more.
