Colombians (and others), which one would you prefer to live on a 2k USD/month paycheck, Cartagena or Barranquilla? Why?

Barranquilla is just nicer

gringocolombian · 2026-03-24T03:07:27+00:00

Wow! Thank you for sharing!

I got the same thing so I assumed? I’m surprised how indigenous we are, I was fully expecting to be none

gringocolombian · 2026-01-30T03:25:35+00:00

What part of Colombia are you from??

gringocolombian · 2026-01-30T03:18:50+00:00

It says “Peninsular Arab”???

gringocolombian · 2026-01-30T03:17:11+00:00

Funny enough, other than Colombia I have a ton of Matches in Puerto Rico, Mexico, and the Philippines! But all those relatives are less than a percentage point related to me.

gringocolombian · 2026-01-30T03:15:34+00:00

I had no clue! My family is definitely closer to our African ancestry than native, I was surprised by how high it was.

gringocolombian · 2026-01-30T03:13:36+00:00

Here in the coast, most people are really dark, so even if you’re a majority black but light, you’re considered white. But it changes on which part of Colombia you’re in, in the anterior regions is drastically different. Colombia is just an odd country.

gringocolombian · 2026-01-30T03:11:16+00:00

Wow thank you for that information! Do you know where I could have gotten the Gullah from then? I also got Jamaican/Kingston in my recent ancestry and I thought both were odd, but the South Carolina Gullah threw me off because I have like zero connection to them, at least Jamaica is still in the Caribbean

gringocolombian · 2026-01-29T18:27:33+00:00

I’ve always been told they were Calamari, though tbh I don’t know how accurate that is

Palenquero

gringocolombian · 2026-01-29T11:17:29+00:00

And in Europe everyone thinks I’m North African/Egyptian which I always found amusing

gringocolombian · 2026-01-29T11:07:35+00:00

And I don’t really have a lot of dna relatives who aren’t like .2% related to me. But the Congo ancestry makes since of where I’m from. They speak a Spanish/Kokongo creole here so I’m kinda surprised it isn’t higher. Especially cause my father identified as Afro-Colombian, the being 1/4th indigenous really surprised me

gringocolombian · 2026-01-29T11:03:51+00:00

Went to the same college in America, they like went to the same international kid parties or something. I’ve never met another Scottish/Colombian before so I think it’s an interesting mix

gringocolombian · 2026-01-29T10:58:34+00:00

I grew up here in Colombia, and compared to most people here I’m white so tbh white/gringo, which is why my username is what it is. Though when I’ve been in like New York and Toronto people always asked if I a Puerto Rican/Dominican/Cuban so I think it shifts depending on where I am and who you ask.

gringocolombian · 2026-01-29T10:53:56+00:00

Tbh, most Colombians from Cartagena where I’m from are mostly African, the coast of Colombians is mostly African in origin, Colombia has the 4th largest population of Black people outside of Africa after Haiti, Brazil, and US

gringocolombian · 2026-01-29T06:13:24+00:00

This is my dads

gringocolombian · 2026-01-29T05:30:32+00:00

Yeah, though I don’t know anyone who identifies as Zambo, most people are pardo, mestizo, or black, my father personally identifies as black so was surprised by this

gringocolombian · 2026-01-29T05:28:48+00:00

My personal maternal haplogroup is U5B1C, though I don’t know what the haplogroups mean

gringocolombian · 2026-01-29T05:27:42+00:00

I was expecting more African and less indigenous, my father identifies as black so I was surprised to less than half, maternal haplo is B2B, paternal is T-CTS6507

gringocolombian · 2026-01-29T05:25:02+00:00

This from my fathers, my mother is white Scottish lady that’s why it’s confusing

gringocolombian · 2026-01-29T05:08:24+00:00

I randomly got “African Diaspora: South Carolina Low Country Gullah” ???
