Hello, I am planning a trip to central and South America at the end of the year and we want to travel by bus, avoiding planes. Some people are saying its not safe to travel to Colombia, but I gather it is a facinating country to visit and very unspoilt. Has anyone been to the country who can advise on safety in Colombia - are there areas to avoid, is public transport safe? Any advice appreciated. Thanks, SJ

I live in florida, usa. I've been living here for about 10 years but am originally from medellin, colombia. I know colombia has a bad reputation but not everyone gets robbed or kidnapped. Don't skip it just because others have had bad experiences there. It truly is a great country with great food, beautiful ladies, and there are more good people than bad. All you have to do if you go is be cautious, like anywhere else. And if possible try not to drive at night.

To get a job in Colombia is as easy as to get a job in USA these days. You'll have to compete with very smart and well educated professionals, some of them with more than one master degrees. Besides, you must be completely bilingual.
However, the salaries are extremely low if you compare them to the USA's or European countries... but life is much cheaper too.

I guess it all depends on what type of job you are seeking.
