A small recurring meetup for people building meaningful connections, friendships, routines, and a real life in Medellín.
Medellín is easy to pass through. It is easy to meet people here too. What is harder is building a steady local circle - familiar faces, real conversations, shared plans, and people you keep seeing beyond one event.
Request an inviteThe common thread is not your job, nationality, income, or lifestyle. It is simpler: you actually live here, you plan to stay connected to the city, and you want more than another loose contact list.
Locals are very welcome too. For now, Basecamp meetups are hosted in English, so it helps if you are comfortable joining conversations in English.
As a rough filter, Basecamp is for people who spend around six months or more per year in Medellín and see themselves being connected to the city for the next few years.
You are here long enough to build routines. You have places you return to. You want familiar faces around you. You want people to do things with, talk with, explore with, and keep seeing over time.
This is for people who want a real local circle - meaningful connections, friendships, shared rhythm, and a life that feels less temporary.
Basecamp is not for tourists, short-term visitors, weekend travelers, party crews, event-hoppers, or people passing through Medellín on the way to somewhere else.
It is also not for networking, pitching, selling, recruiting, dating, status games, or collecting "interesting people."
If you are mainly looking for contacts, leads, attention, entertainment, or quick access to another group without showing up consistently, this is not the right place.
A short form. Just enough to understand whether you actually live here, how connected you are to Medellín, and whether the fit makes sense.
A small table in Laureles. Around 8-10 people. No agenda, real conversation.
The meetup is the starting point. Over time, the right people become familiar. Plans happen naturally. Connections deepen. A local circle starts to form.
Small groups need reliability. If you say you are coming, come. Flakiness kills the whole point.
Good energy, curiosity, and basic social awareness. No pitching, no flexing, no monologues.
This is not something to consume from the outside. Start conversations, follow up, suggest ideas, include others.
No selling, recruiting, gossip, drama, or using the group for access.
You do not need to be here forever, but you do need to be here enough to care.
Medellín is full of people. But it is still easy to end up with a lot of acquaintances and no real circle.
People arrive, leave, cancel, disappear into group chats, or stay on the surface. After a few months, you may know many names but still not have people you consistently see, trust, and build routines with.
Basecamp is my attempt to create something more grounded.
A small recurring meetup. People who actually live here. No selling. No big community. Just a simple way to make real connections.
Tell us a little about yourself.
The form is short. We just want to understand whether you are actually based in Medellín, what kind of connection you are looking for, and whether Basecamp makes sense for you.
Every request gets read. If it feels like a fit, you will be invited to the WhatsApp group and one of the next small meetups.
