The Wandering Paisa language exchange is widely known as the thing to do in Medellin on Thursday nights. It’s a relaxed environment where you can practice any language and make new friends. Local language institutes, such as Blendex or Colombo Americano, bring their students to practice English, French, German, Italian, etc. It’s a perfect opportunity for you to get to know the local Paisas and for them to get to know about you and your culture. Thursday is the beginning of the weekend for many locals, so it’s not unusual for the house to get packed.
