Medellín, Colombia is a place very close to my heart. During the months I lived there in 2013, I wrote in great detail about my experiences and these posts are one of the primary ways many readers find their way to my blog.
For the sake of convenience, I’ve decided to collect all of those posts here in one resource page for those of you looking to get to know Medellín, either as a travel destination or a future home.
I’ve also included resources from around the web that I’ve found particularly useful with regard to things like visa requirements, renting apartments, networking with other expats, and so on.
