Hello expats,

I'm a retired single woman moving to the Medellin area in October. I'm an avid genetic genealogist and volunteer with an organization that helps adoptees identify their biological roots -- something that I can do as easily in Colombia as I can here in Florida. I was raised in Mexico and am moderately fluent in Spanish. This September I'm flying down to locate a place to rent -- something with plenty of space for the dogs, lots of trees and natural wildlife for birdwatching, but still within an hour or less from the theatres and museums in Medellin. I look forward to getting advice from you all!
