How do I meet people in Colombia?
When we asked people living in Colombia about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...
"Expats in Colombia often join a variety of social, cultural, and athletic activities available locally to make connections and meet people. Examples may include joining Meetup groups, attending language exchange events, enjoying outdoor activities such as cycling and hiking, or taking classes in music and dance. Expats may also get involved in sports teams like soccer, swimming, and fitness classes. Expats can also explore the culture by taking salsa and flamenco dance classes, visiting local cultural events, or joining volunteer activities. Additionally, many expats take advantage of Colombia's vibrant nightlife by checking out live music venues or adding themselves to salsa and bachata dancing groups," wrote a member who made the move to Colombia.
