I want to go back there but we have a 4.5 month old kid now so I doubt it will be anytime soon, I am gonna be going to mostly EU for the next couple years and exploring the Countries I haven't been to yet.

My thoughts are that you must look at more places if you think that is the coolest place It is nice to visit, but i liked Cartagena more. Medellin most is happening in a few squares where all the foreigners and expat stay and locals go out. Always busy, pollution and many no-go areas. Except those squares where a lot of people work from coffeeshops. Staying some weeks is nice, living there isn't. A friend of mine lives in Bogota, he doesnt even go out after dark. But is was fun to go out there and see things. We saw a woman coming out of a girly bar with a knife in her shoulder. And in the 'gogo bars' there is only 1 stripper at the time! (In Thailand 20 - 50

I think in most cases it is better to buy something in your home country and rent it out and rent something in the 'new'country. But depends where you are from.
