About Me
Hi! I’m Mariana, I’m 23 years old. For now, I’m focused in my studies, I’m a psychotherapist here in Colombia and also currently I’m finishing my masters in clinical psychology and my other bachelors in philosophy, that’s why I can’t travel as much as I would want to, but I’m planning on traveling soon! I love animals, traveling, reading, listening to music and meeting new people! If you want to get to know better Medellin, I’m happy to help you, and if you have tips on traveling alone or you want to recommend me a good place to visit, I’ll be really thankful!

Solo travel experience
I loved Medellín. I stayed in walking distance from the metro station in El Poblado, which was nice. Not the most interesting area, but I could walk alone at night. Downtown was fine during the day (lots to see), but I was recommended to leave when the office workers left. Guatapé is worth a day or two. The graffiti tour was great, and I loved taking the cable car to Parque Arvi. The language was not a problem, Uber was great for shorter distances (to the bus station, etc) and people were super friendly.
Posted: December 2, 2023Solo travel experience
loved Medellin and stayed there for about a week on a 2-month Colombia solo trip. Some of my favorite things 1. the free city walking tour was amazing. It is very emotional. Medellin has an incredibly complex recent history and it’s amazing to see what the city and its people have been thru and what they have done to make it what it is today 2. exotic fruit tour 3. 3pending the day riding the cable cars and walking thru neighborhoods 4. Visiting Comuña 13
Posted: July 8, 2023Solo travel experience
I think as a tourist/solo traveller Medellin is best explored through walking tours. I did ones of downtown and Comuna 13 and felt safe and secure walking round with a group and with a local guide. I probably wouldn’t have gone to either alone as it can be easy to take a turn onto the wrong road, and downtown Medellin is ripe for pickpocketing
