Hey there, fellow Canadians!
Are you dreaming of swapping snowstorms for sunshine, or trading sky-high costs for a life of affordability and adventure? Let’s talk about why Colombia is becoming the #1 destination for Canadians in 2025—and how it stacks up against life back home.

Canada: Long, harsh winters with months of sub-zero temperatures. Shoveling driveways? No thanks!
Colombia: Imagine a place where seasons don’t dictate your life.
Medellín’s “Eternal Spring”: 72°F (22°C) year-round—perfect for morning coffees on the balcony.
Caribbean Coast: Warm beaches even in January.
Zero Snow: Trade parkas for flip-flops!
