Santa Marta, Colombia
What do people like (and dislike) about Santa Marta?
When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Santa Marta, they replied...
"Before I moved here, I knew what my Likes were: playa, pescado and perros. This is a very, very dog friendly pueblo, so I was gifted the dog I wanted UPON ARRIVAL. I don't just want any beach: I want one I can use as my private lap pool. So the small, wave-less bay and beach are what I desire. Being that I'm not a meat eater, it has always been expensive to buy seafood. Not here in a 400 year old fishing village. So, if you know your priorities BEFORE you move anywhere, you'll be content," said another expat in Santa Marta, Colombia.
