Stayed in for a month and it was enough for me. Pros: -Great weather. -Great Restaurant scene -Amazing areas to walk around and super green for a major city -Lots to do, was never bored here -Good healthcare -Good shopping Cons: -The pollution is quite bad and very noisy - Cost, one of the most expensive places in Latin America, maybe Cancun & Cabo are the only places more expensive -The traffic was probably the worst I have ever witnessed, very chaotic. -Starting to become westernised so a

I arrived on December 31 at night, I went out to celebrate New Year's and a friendly man invited me to a beer, we went to a shitty bar and he wanted to bring prostitutes to the table so I left after 5 minutes of entering . The staff at the bar asked me for $2000 Turkish liras to leave. I went to the police and they told me that I should not trust anyone in this City. My first experience: Beautiful city, it's a shame the people are shit

FWIW: I’m a 36yo Male. I stayed in Cape Town for 3 months from Oct - Jan 2024 Cape Town is a strange place to write a review for. Crime is as serious as you’ll likely already heard. It does happen and does make the news every so often. I’ve heard first-hand some dreadful things that have happened to locals too so anyone ignorant enough to question the crime is deluded however I encountered very few nomads who experienced any robberies or crime. Thankfully If you have common sense then I c

Okay so I finally took the leap of faith and came to Medellin. For a bit of statistics, I am female travelling alone. Like many, I was scared of my safety because of everything we hear about Colombia being dangerous BUT I have good news for you! This place is freaking AWESOME! It is not as dangerous as it used to be 20 years ago. Trust me! I was walking around the streets feeling so safe, meeting colombian people, dancing with them in the salsa classes, going on tours...I just loved it! I love C

Pros: Friendly people, safe, stable government, efficient and fast public transportation, established foreigner (gaijin) population due many English teachers, many great food options, many festivals (cherry blossom fest), onsens! Cons: Expensive, work til you die at your desk mentality, drunken businessman culture, groping on packed public transit, lack of mental health services so be cautious around the destitute, over sexualization of underage females, high risk if caught with illegal substan

Beautiful old town and waterfront, but as soon as you leave them it becomes a post-Communist dump. I've had very good internet in airbnbs, and it's quite affordable if you live like a local.

Chiang Mai has had a deep Buddhist influence running over the last 1,000 years and this can be felt in the helpfulness, patience and generosity of the Thai and long-term transplants you come across. The city has an active community scene (nomads, spiritual seekers, hikers, creatives), several mountains with hiking spots and waterfalls surrounding the city, over 20 water bodies inside the city -- many have cafes and walks around, several public parks, and over 13 national parks with campgrounds w

Was here in Mid-2023. Bali has completely changed from when I last visited in 2017. Full of arrogant influences and degenerate party people who are entitled and have no respect for the locals. Many Uber drivers told me they are starting to get annoyed because a lot of Westerners don’t respect anything…. Pollution and traffic are on the rise. It is turning into Kuta. Probably one of the least walkable places, forget walking on the sidewalk unless you want to get taken out. A lot of accidents
