How We Ditched Everything We Owned and Made Our Way to Medellin

Great video family! My husband, kids, and I are now living in our third country outside of the US. We have had our ups and downs and it has been a major adventure. Our biggest struggle was our first move to West Africa. But after a year we learned many lessons and were able to seamlessly make the other two transitions. That being said, I definitely agree with your points about not overthinking or over planning because there are many things you won’t learn until you do it. There are certain things that you have to learn on your own as there is no better teacher than experience . I also love what your wife said about watching the the news. It will immobilize you if you allow it to. Most of the things on it is simply propaganda and fear mongering. We currently live in a very stable area of the Middle East that is actually safer than the US.

The only thing I would add is to take time to ensure that you are financially prepared. Though it may be cheaper to live in other countries than in America in some regards there may be additional financial responsibilities that you may not be aware of. It is very easy to end up back in the states if you don’t do your homework. I know a number of people who ended up in this scenario and lost quite a bit of money in the process.

Personal and Professional development is key. The medical costs in the US are incredibly expensive. I had an 1800.00 script in the US and in Latin America $38.00. Your video are encouraging.

Cartess and Kim, appreciate your videos and insight on Medellin. I am going there with my future wife in May and can not wait to visit. Colombia is one of the countries on my bucket list of 30 to visit. I enjoyed listening to your story and love the open-minded viewpoint that you guys have. I believe that you guys are fulfilling your God given purpose. Keep traveling you guys and perhaps I will see you out there.

Im in Spain planning to go there do you know any ENDOCRINO doctor that you can suggest me please. I have tiroids problems and i would like to check my endocrin system there.
