These videos are part of a wider trend of “passport bros” many of whom are American men, seeking life abroad in places marketed by content creators as being good for meeting women.

In theory, adult men going to meet adult women isn't a problem, but Medellin has a huge problem with sexual exploitation. It’s often nicknamed by the press as ‘the world’s biggest brothel’.

Since the pandemic the city has introduced curfews for underage girls in some neighbourhoods while NGOs there are working against the issue. BBC Trending investigates the impact of passport bros in Colombia’s second biggest city.
