I have been in Colombia in and out for 2 years, never had any trouble or problems. Until the last previous 6 months. One incident, I went out to a local bar in Cali . Maybe it was luck I never had trouble in Medellin (which I thought was the most dangerous for gringos..), Bogota, San Andreas, Cartegena, and many other cities..

Are colombianas faithful to their mate?

I am not Colombian, but I am dating a Colombiana from Medellin. I see all these statements on the internet about how loyal and affectionate Colombian women can be.

But I just wanted to hear anybody's opinion about their relationships with a Colombiana or Colombiano. Do colombians have strong morals of being loyal to their mate, husband or fiance. Just wanted to see if ...
