Abstract This study explored the lived experiences of young Colombians who have migrated from Colombia to Argentina between 2010 and 2020. The life history method of qualitative research was utilized to explore the personal experiences, challenges and triumphs, of migrants. Through inductive analysis two dominant themes were revealed: opportunity and security. Within both these themes several subthemes were also identified: violence, education, work, community, health, identity. Conclusion from this study are that structural violence and uncertainty played a role in This thesis aims to provide a deeper understanding of the underlying motivations for the migration of young Colombians, as well as insights on historical and political aspects of contemporary South – South Migration.
