I definitely don’t want to go if you don’t feel comfortable. That being said, I think that is just an outdated perception. Also, there is that article from NYTimes, I can’t imagine that they would highlight the city as a great place.
Here’s the Colombia kidnapping index on Bloomberg!!

I just sent the index to my co-workers and they said, 3 unaccompanied American girls going to Colombia, they’re going long for sure.
(note: as in, they are going to buy this index in the hopes that we get kidnapped so that the graph goes up so that they make money).

No and they told me I should too, to hedge myself.
(note: as in, if you're going to get kidnapped, you might as well make money. nevermind you will be in the back of a car, bound and gagged. at least your portfolio is doing well)
Btw, I’m laughing out loud at my desk, people just keep staring at me.

This is hilarious…and yet not funny at all. Irene, can you please practice your Spanish? I asked my Venezuelan friend, “will i die in Colombia?” He said “does someone in your group speak Spanish?”
