Hello,
My name is Michal. I'm from Minnesota in the USA. I've begun travelling to medellin to become familiar with the language and culture.

It would be very convenient for me if I could leave my luggage in storage locally between my frequent trips here instead of checking it on an airline Everytime. With baggage fees what they are these days it would also save me money.

The problem for me is that while I can find storage units to my liking. None of them seem to offer Sunday access and they all seem to close at around 5pm. These hours won't work for me logistically with my flight times.

Does any one know of any storage units or similar that would allow me better access times, that would include Sundays, to my stored luggage?

Given that your trips are frequent and you may have found a preferred hotel or hospedaje, you may qualify for free storage there -- or pay a small daily/monthly fee.

I used to leave a large travel bag at my favorite boutique hotel in Chiang Mai, Thailand (no charge) .. and later at a hotel in Bangkok (small fee). I have not tried this here in South America.

Have you inquired about such an arrangement at the place you plan to stay at?
