Are you as ready as we are for a month of coworking, creativity, and paisa living in the City of Eternal Spring? We are heading back into the mountains for one month or two weeks this January, February & September!
Grab a delicious cup of Colombian coffee and start seeing yourself in a city steeped in innovation, cultural vibrancy, and surrounded by the epic greenery of the Andes Mountains, by reading some of our favorite Unsettled blog posts that illuminate one of our most favorite citys’ magic.
“What I love about Medellin is how the city has found the perfect intersection between urban and nature. Just today in Medellin, I was walking down the street and at one of my favorite cocktail bars, in El Poblado, there is a beautiful babbling brook meandering through the neighborhood. The city has beautiful green spaces as well as very hip, funky, and urban nightclubs, restaurants, and cocktail bars. It is an easy place to call home because it has a bit of everything.”
– Corey Schultz

“The story of Medellín’s remarkable transformation can be revealed through many lenses. But ours starts with Comuna 13, and the story of a young, local Colombian man named Stiven Álvarez Garro, who always begins at the very end: ‘After we finish this walking tour, I want your final emotion to be that there was a change, and that change is possible.’”
– Liza Schmidt
