OPERATION: THRIVE is a clear, practical, and deeply grounded guide for anyone looking to build a freer, fuller, and more prosperous life in Colombia.  Through original journalism, expert insight, and real conversations with expats and locals living this reality every day, we investigate the questions that actually matter—and give you answers you can trust.

We break down what life here really looks like: how far your money actually goes, what it takes to build relationships and community, how to navigate safety, healthcare, housing, and the legal landscape, and where expectations often collide with reality. Whether you’re considering a move, already here, or somewhere in between, this series is designed to show you not just how to get by—but how to truly thrive in Colombia.

COLOMBIA UNSCRIPTED  brings you inside stories from people like you who have built fulfilling lives in Colombia. Through thoughtful, unfiltered conversations with expats (and locals), we explore the personal journeys, pivotal decisions, and quiet turning points that led them to take a different path. Real conversations in real places throughout the city of Medellin. 

Filmed in cafés, restaurants, and everyday settings, each episode captures not just what people have done, but how it has felt to do it—the uncertainty, the risk, the trade-offs, and the unexpected rewards. Honest and deeply personal, this series goes beyond the surface to reveal what living here truly feels like, offering connection, perspective, and a clearer sense of what might be possible for your own life.

ON THE GROUND takes you inside the everyday rhythm of Medellín. From neighborhood streets and local cafés to gyms, markets, and city celebrations, this series explores the places and moments that shape life here. It’s a grounded, street-level look at how the city lives, moves, and feels day to day.

COMING SOON - Hidden Medellin is a deeper, investigative journey into the stories most travelers never hear. We explore overlooked neighborhoods, meet extraordinary people, and shine light on the complex forces shaping Medellín today. This series goes beyond the Instagram version of the city, offering honest context, human voices, and insight.
