When planning your next laptop destination, how often do you consider the weather? If you’re like most people, the answer is: not enough. But Medellin is like a mountain version of Hawaii! Read Crucial Construct’s report!
There's a good reason that tourists have been flocking to Medellin over the past decade - the laid-back hipster vibe, the astonishing range of things to do and places to see, and - of course - the coffee! Ordering your coffee from the neighbor's plantation never gets old!
Crucial Constructs, an affiliate marketing consulting company and publisher has issued a new report for digital nomads who may be interested in resettlement in Medellin, Colombia - a temperate mountain city that has remade itself into a symbol of avant-garde culture and modernized city planning.

The new guide aims to educate expat freelancers and remote workers about the relevant aspects of life in Medellin - including the cost of living, WiFi access, transportation, and lodging. The city, formerly notorious for its drug cartels, is now considered a must-see on any Latin American traveler's itinerary.
Medellin, a metropolis of two and a half million people and once known as the most dangerous in the world, is now considered an emerging economic powerhouse and is home to many national and multinational companies. Lauded for its public transportation and civic planning initiatives, relative safety, and inexpensive living, it has attracted a large base of long-term tourists and digital nomads. 90-day visas can be easily extended to six months and the maximum is two years.
Crucial Constructs reports that the average cost of living for individuals is less than $900 per month. However, while food, transport, and home entertainment are inexpensive, your costs will vary depending on your way of life: expensive accommodation in the trendiest neighborhoods is also available, as are high-end restaurants and nighttime entertainment venues.
As a large city, Medellin features many co-working areas suitable for digital nomads. If you choose to live in the Laureles neighborhood, for example, the author recommends La Casa Redonda and in El Poblado, the hostel Selina, which doubles as a co-working space and also features yoga classes. But since citywide W-Fi allows for fast and free connections, you can also choose to work from any cafe - or park - in the city.
The guide by Crucial Constructs details the city’s neighborhoods, coffee shops, and food and entertainment options, and instructs you on how to find an apartment in the city.
“Medellin is, without a doubt, one of the top places for digital nomads in all of Latin America,” said a Crucial Constructs spokesperson. “The quality of life offered is exceptional, and the city offers the one thing remote freelancers need: fast, ubiquitous WiFI.”
Yep, if you binge-watched too many episodes of Narcos, you may feel a little jittery about visiting Pablo Escobar's home, but it's a different city now. After all, you don't avoid Munich, do you?!
