Medellín & Minca, Colombia — September 12–19, 2026
Reserve My Spot →Think about it. $250 on a night out. Overpriced drinks, the same bar, the same small talk with the same people. You wake up the next day feeling worse than when you started — lighter in the wallet, heavier in the head, and somehow no closer to anyone than you were before.
Do that 8 times over the course of a year and you've spent $2,000. You have a few blurry photos, some regrettable text messages, and zero memories worth keeping.
"$2,000 on forgettable nights out — or $2,000 on the trip you'll talk about for the rest of your life. Same money. Completely different person on the other side of it."
The people who bond deepest aren't the ones who met at a bar. They're the ones who got lost together in a Colombian mountain town, ate arepas at 2am, watched the sun rise over the jungle, and realized they'd found their people.
That's what this trip is. Not a vacation. Not a tour. A human connection experience in one of the most extraordinary places on earth — led by someone who spent 17 months living in Latin America, 7 of them in Colombia.
I'm not selling you a trip I found on Google. I spent 17 months living across Latin America, 7 of them in Colombia — navigating cities without tourist maps, eating where locals eat, building friendships in a language that wasn't mine, and discovering what it actually feels like to be somewhere real.
I know Medellín the way you know your neighborhood. I know which barrio has the best views and the worst tourist traps. I know the spots that don't have TripAdvisor reviews because the locals who go there don't need them.
And six weeks ago I started 1,000 Chicagoans — bringing strangers together in this city and watching them become genuine friends, faster than I expected. I know how to create the conditions for real connection. This trip is just that — in a better setting.
"The deepest friendships I've ever witnessed weren't made at dinners or bars. They were made when a group of people were somewhere extraordinary together — uncomfortable, alive, and paying attention."
Every day is designed with one question: what creates the conditions for real friendship? The answer is shared experience, vulnerability, and a place so alive it demands your full attention.
"A year from now you won't remember what you did that random Friday night in October. You will absolutely remember Minca."
12 people is the magic number — big enough for variety, small enough that everyone knows everyone by day 3. 2 spots are already taken. Once it's full, it's full.
Deposit is fully refundable up until 30 days before departure. No risk.
A year from now you'll either be telling the story of the trip that changed everything — or you'll be on your 50th forgettable Saturday night wondering why nothing feels different. The $2,000 is spent either way, in pieces, on nights you won't remember. The outcome isn't the same.
Fully refundable up until 30 days before departure. 10 spots left. When it's gone, it's gone.
