After leaving the YC startup I co-founded, then doing consulting in SF for about 6 months after, I decided to leave the valley at the end of 2015.<p>Where did I move to? Medellin, Colombia. While I&#x27;m not sure I&#x27;ll stay here forever and may move back to SF at some point, I&#x27;m definitely enjoying living down here for the moment. I&#x27;m doing remote software consulting, so I am geographically agnostic.<p>I definitely miss friends, the hustle, and being surrounded by smart people in SF. However, there are a lot of things I do not miss about SF. For example:<p>Prices: SF &lt;&gt; Medellin<p>Rent: $2000 (mediocre) &lt;&gt; $300 (nice, best part of town)<p>Nice restaurant dinner: $30-40 &lt;&gt; $10-15<p>Uber (20 mins): $25 &lt;&gt; $3
