The recent wave of Passport Bros claiming Colombia is unsafe to travel to has stirred up quite the narrative, but let’s break it down with a dose of satire. According to these self-appointed experts, Colombia is apparently a war zone where every street corner is a potential crime scene. It’s a wonder how millions of Colombians manage to live their daily lives without ducking for cover or hiding from imaginary kidnappers, right?
In reality, this exaggerated alarmism is more of a thinly veiled excuse for their own failed attempts at navigating Colombian culture. Maybe the real threat wasn’t crime, but rather their inability to connect with locals or manage basic travel etiquette. It seems safer to blame the country than to admit they couldn’t read the room.
