This was my first thought when I saw this thread/poll, Medellin. I would not make a permanent decision until I have lived somewhere for 2 years. And I would not purchase a property until I had lived somewhere for 3 years

I moved to Costa Rica and bought a nice condo in 2006. I visited Medellin in 2008 and liked it equal or better than CR. The girls in Medellin are the prettiest girls in all of Colombia, IMNSHO.

So maybe you can rent a place for 6 months in one place or the other and SEE for yourself how you like or don't like it. Once the newness of it all wears off you can make a more informed decision.

Heck you can even go and try out another place for 6 months.

For me, If I moved from CR, it would be Medellin.

Depends on what you are looking for and where you choose to live in the country. Neither are the USA. Nothing to keep you from living in one for six months then trying the others. It will come down to adjusting to a world that doesn't think or behave the way people think and behave in the states. Where you live is not what is important in life, it is what you do with the time you have to enjoy.

Agree. I subscribe to their magazine and always enjoy their reports. Good stuff.
