3 weeks in Colombia 🇨🇴 and Venezuela 🇻🇪 AMA

[Noriega]

I’ll drop pics when I have better internet connection. Landed in Barranquilla @Evil genius Jay

For those wondering, Americans can’t enter Venezuela without a visa. I applied at the Venezuelan embassy in Panama in August and I just got approved a few weeks ago. Was a lengthy process, had to submit pay stubs, bank statements, criminal record, medical records etc. Wanted to hit Caracas the capital but I think I’ll only have time to hit Maracaibo

Weather is great. 88 & sunny with a cool breeze off the Caribbean at night I

I didnt see the sun for 12 straight days in Chicago so I’m enjoying every moment of it

Food is banging. Fed 3 people last night + drinks for $25. Uber and taxis are also dirt cheap

My uncle in Panama is married to a Venezuelan woman. Her family is holding me down, otherwise I wouldn’t be sliding thru there completely solo

I wear beat up adidas shoes, plain joggers , plain t shirt when im moving around during the day. If im popping out at night I throw on nicer clothes.

I’m darker complexion, I gurantee you wouldn’t be able to tell I was American if you saw me on the streets

One thing that will absolutely let others know you are American is wearing shorts. Most locals wears pants here regardless of it being 90 & humid as fukk

My iPhone 13 stays in my bag hidden under clothes, I walk the streets with my iPhone 6+ from high school. If they want that they can have it

This one of my favorite things about travelling.

What are they saying about dental work out there in colombia. I got some teeth I want to fix

Watched a video with that white dude who strolls through South American countries. They strip searched dude looking for drugs hoping they could finesse a bribe out of him. Thats a level of corruption I can’t fukk with.

I’ve seen ads on buildings for hair transplants, plastic surgery, veneers but don’t know much other than that

I’m sure way cheaper than anything you’d find in the states

My corners starting to thin a bit I might have to look into the transplant

Do you need to understand Spanish to maneuver your way through Colombia? Thinking about taking a trip their maybe next year or so.

Absolutely so you don’t get taken advantage of. I’m not saying you have to be super fluent but at least know how to order food, hail a taxi, numbers, ask directions, and basic small talk convo.

The further out you go from the big cities(highly recommend )you’ll be hard pressed to find any English speakers. You’ll go days without hearing English .

Which hoes are finer in your opinion
