I just cancelled my trip to Medellín, Colombia 🇨🇴...and I'm going to Santiago, Chile instead 🇨🇱 I can't fully explain why. Gut decision. Partly rooted in the seismic and earthquake activity in Colombia. Partly rooted in some things I've heard about the overly sexualized culture of Medellín specifically. I'm really not looking to surround myself with a bunch of Western dudes "on the hunt" all day, every day. Partly rooted in safety concerns. I've read one too many scopolamine tales here on X and through the grapevine. I'm sure I'll go to Colombia eventually, but I'm having doubts that Medellín would be the place I'd root down anyway. Again, this is a total gut call. There's just a weird feeling I have in my body about going to Colombia rn. I got a call from my 84-year-old uncle last week asking me about my decision to go there, and it shook me a bit bc he hardly ever calls me. Chile seems to be a vastly underrated country full of good wine, geographic diversity, and absolutely no hype train whatsoever. When in doubt, follow your gut
