Colombia has achieved peace and is increasingly regarded as a good place to consider for living and investing.

With such a tumultuous history the question is, is this a good idea?

We speak to Park Wilson co-founder of Viva Tropical about his recent trip to Colombia where he traveled a month with his family.

When he left Panama his current home to visit Colombia, he was seriously considering moving there and now that he is back you can listen to what he thought and if he will indeed leave Panama for Colombia.

Park also discusses investment opportunities, his favorite spots, and the big question on most people's minds, is it safe?
