I was so lucky that a friend told me about InterNations before I came to Bogota. I had the chance to contact many expats there from home.

A Sprawling City of Secrets in Colombia
Bogota may not have the reputation of some of its South American rivals, such as Rio de Janeiro or Buenos Aires, but few visitors to the Colombian capital would fail to be impressed or say that it doesn't rank alongside them. A bustling, lively city filled with art, culture, cuisine, and music awaits any potential expatriate, so it's no wonder that so many choose to make their homes here in fields such as energy, communications, and technology. Bogota is often relatively safe for expatriates, but high levels of crime in the city and Colombia generally means that expats should take extra precautions and get some local knowledge before heading out. Checking out the guide articles and forum here on InterNations would be a great start.
InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Singapore or Jeddah, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.

I was a little bit afraid before moving to Colombia - a new language, security issues, no friends. InterNations helped me settle in, though.
