About HeyColombia
Most content about moving abroad is either overly romanticized or completely useless.
It’s all beaches, coffee shops, and “top 10 things to do in Medellín” — written by people who were here for two weeks.
That’s not what this is.
What This Is
I’ve lived in Colombia for over 10 years.
I’ve built a business here.
I’ve raised a family here.
I’ve dealt with the reality of visas, healthcare, schools, safety, money, and everything in between.
HeyColombia is where I share what actually matters if you’re serious about:
Relocating to Colombia or South America
Building a remote income or online business
Raising a family outside the US or Europe
Creating a better lifestyle through geography
Why Colombia?
Because it offers something most people completely overlook.
If you earn in dollars, euros, or pounds, you can:
live well on less
reduce financial pressure
buy back your time
build something meaningful
And if you’re raising a family, it gets even more interesting.
Colombia gives you access to a lifestyle that’s hard to replicate in the West:
secure, community-based living (conjuntos cerrados)
affordable, high-quality private healthcare
a culture that still values family, religion, and community
access to incredible travel and variety within the region
What You’ll Find Here
This isn’t just theory — it’s lived experience.
I write about:
The real pros and cons of living in Colombia
Cost of living (what things actually cost, not blog estimates)
Where to live and how to choose the right city
Building income streams that work from anywhere
Raising kids in South America
The cultural realities most people don’t talk about
Some of it will challenge what you think you know.
That’s intentional.
Who This Is For
This is for people who are:
seriously considering moving abroad
already living overseas and trying to make it work
building a remote business or income stream
thinking about raising a family outside their home country
It’s not for tourists.
And it’s not for people looking for a fantasy.
Why I Write This
Because moving abroad changed my life.
Not in a “digital nomad Instagram” way — in a real, practical, long-term way.
More freedom.
More time.
A better environment for raising kids.
But also — challenges, trade-offs, and things you need to understand before making the move.
Most people don’t get access to that kind of honest perspective.
What I’m Building
Alongside this, I’m building HeyColombia as a platform to make life here easier — connecting expats with housing, services, and opportunities in a way that actually works.
This newsletter is where I share everything I’m learning along the way.
Final Note
If you’re thinking about making a move like this, don’t do it blindly.
There’s a huge opportunity here — but only if you understand how to navigate it properly.
That’s what this is for.
