Frequently Asked Questions

MDE Community is a curated network of WhatsApp groups, social events, and collaborations designed to help digital nomads, expats, and locals in Medellín connect quickly and authentically.

Our community is built for globally-minded people—remote workers, creatives, entrepreneurs, and locals—who value real friendships and meaningful experiences.

Simply visit our Communities page, browse the interest categories, and click “Join” to access the WhatsApp group that fits you best. You can join multiple groups based on your interests.

Joining is free. However, MDE Community runs on member support through donations via Ko-Fi, which help us organize events, manage groups, and keep everything running smoothly

Start engaging! Say hi in your groups, attend an event, and connect with others. The more you participate, the faster Medellín will start to feel like home.

Our groups are curated, bilingual, and moderated to stay respectful and spam-free. We focus on quality over quantity, with intentional events that help members connect naturally—not just network.

We host over 50 interest-based groups including Hiking, Coworking, Arts & Culture, Food & Cooking, Entrepreneurship, and more. There’s something for everyone—whether you’re new to the city or already settled.
