While I absolutely enjoyed my trip, I would not go back. I felt very scared during my entire time there. Everybody there knew I wasn't from Colombia and I got a lot of negative attention as a result. I was lucky becuase I was traveling with friends who were from Colombia, but I still felt nervous. They were also nervous (for both me and for themselves). We didn't spend a lot of time outside in Bogota. We sped through the streets and only got out on a few occasions.From what I've read, the situation is not any better (and perhaps worse) than it was when I was there. If you're brave, go for it. But given the latest disappearance in Jamaica, I have a hightened sense of fear when traveling abroad -- especially in a violent country like Colombia.
