Colombia has been the ultimate go-to spot for the expat and passport bro community over the last decade. Everyone talks about the beautiful women, the cheap flights, and how far your dollar goes. But behind the success stories, there is a dark side to the nightlife that a lot of guys are ignoring until it’s too late.
The reality of sex tourism and dating overseas isn't all fun and games. Incidents involving Scopolamine—a dangerous drug used by setups and cartels to turn unsuspecting tourists into compliant "zombies"—are skyrocketing. Whether you meet someone at an upscale spot in El Poblado, on Tinder, or just minding your business at a local mall, the game is rigged if you aren't paying attention. From getting completely wiped out financially to the ultimate worst-case scenario where travelers don't make it back home, the stakes are incredibly high.
This dark reality was tragically highlighted in recent news reports from Medellin, where American citizen Jean Roody Dagobert was found dead inside a short-term rental apartment in the Estadio neighborhood after returning from a night out at Parque Lleras with four women (Read the full news report here: es-us.noticias.yahoo.com/asesinaron-gringo-apartamento-barrio-estadio-123214125.html). While his friends and brother chased the suspects—even catching one who tried to escape by jumping from a balcony with the victim's stolen jewelry hidden in a wig—Jean Roody unfortunately lost his life to what authorities suspect is a lethal dose of chemical drugging.
If you are traveling abroad, your physical security needs to be your number one priority. Relying on an unsecure Airbnb with zero security, thinking you have safety in numbers with your boys, or letting your guard down after a few good dates is exactly how you become a target. Learn the warning signs of a setup, know when to fight the drowsiness and throw people out of your spot, and stop treating foreign destinations like they don't have real-world consequences. Stay sharp, protect your life over your money, and travel smart.
