Medellin Taxi Driver Gives Unexpected History Lesson...

I get a history lesson on Medellín, from PABLO Escobar to Gustavo PETRO and everything in between!

I got into this taxi with Juan Felipe, a 31-year-old from Medellin who has spent his entire life here. I pressed record and started asking him questions about his city, but I never expected this kind of response!

It tells me all about:
- Why Medellín used to be so dangerous.
- Is it safe now?
- How the city has changed in the last 20 years.
- How this change occurred.
- Security levels Medellín vs Bogotá.
- The Medellín Metro system.
- What you think of the new president, Petro.
- And much more!

Juan Felipe tells us how he lost his business during the pandemic and was forced to drive Uber to support his wife and son.

Wow I’m amazed with this content. You are no kidding when you said you were really lucky to jump into Felipe.
A man with culture, and verraqueara…

I love taking with taxi drivers for the same reason. You can learn a lot from them.

Great video, learned a lot! I’ve been in Medellin for a month and this video made some things click. Especially about the metro. An example is, a girl told me about the pride she had for the metro, at the time I thought she was joking.

I am curious. What kind of car was he driving with the controls on the right side of the car.

Hello, are you taking donation for him to help him out, if so let me know how I can help.

It's sad, as how many Colombians do not know about Plan Colombia and how it was the change and money Ulribe needed.
