Anyway next week i'm back in Rome so anyone with some advice on something less known to see (done the Vatican, Colosseo and all the main stuff) let me know, wondering about a nice place to get out of the city maybe for a day and relax

Yeah I saw the news. I'm not staying in Istanbul though, I just have a quick layover there then I'm flying to Bodrum and I'll be there for a week.

I haven't heard about anything going on where I'm
staying so I'm hoping it'll be ok. I even changed my flight back so I'll only be in Instanbul for 1.5hours before flying to JFK.

I think you'll be allright, I've never ever heard of anything happening in Bodrum...

Anyone been to Bogota, Cali, or Medellin? They're on my bucket list but I'd like to get feedback from someone who has actually been.

What do you want to know specifically? I posted about this a year ago I think:

fukking amazing....taking my ass back ASAP. I love Medellin in particular. I usually stay in El Poblado which is considered the most upscale part.

The women are phenomenal and friendly :lawd: The number of ugly ass Colombian men in Medellin I saw walking around with dimes was :dahell:

The food is :whoo:

The strip clubs are :mjpls: :shaq:

Medellin in particular is cheap as fukk. The money I spend for an average night at a bar or lounge in New York was on some baller shyt there.

Speaking conversational Spanish is incredibly helpful as most people will not speak it (excluding the the highly educated).

Thanks for the heads up :salute:. If I'm looking to hit up some museums/tourist sites, eat some food, and hit some bars/skrip clubs, how many days you think I'd need to make the cost of the trip worth it?

What's the diversity like? Mostly mestizo? A lot of black people? Indios?

My Spanish is so-so :noah:but with some practice I'm sure I could get it to be passable :birdman:

I was there for a week and got to see plenty. I probably could have done everything I wanted in 5 days but didnt want to feel rushed.

Colombia has a very large black population but they are highly concentrated in the coastal cities. In Medellin, I didn't see a lot of black locals but I definitely did not feel out of place.

You should watch this video from this guy Jubril Agoro, popular black travel blogger / Youtuber:

London
Yoo, I'm gonna be visiting London later this year. I'm looking for chill night spots where I can have a drink, hear some tunes (reggae, hip hop, rnb, house, garage, grime, whatever), and be around a more local crowd. And of course I'm tryna see some eye candy :youngsabo:. Any suggestions?

Which part of London will you visiting, do you have family or friends here ?
