How do I meet people in Ecuador?
When we asked people living in Ecuador about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...
"Here you meet others through shopping for food, necessities for the home, and dining out. There is a Rotary International group here but they only speak spanish. If you have a talent, such as painting, you can set up in one of the parks and meet people. There are a dozen expats here that speak english and most are very helpful for newcomers. Also there are about 30 to 80 boats from all over the world at the marina, depending on the month, and most "boaties" speak English and are helpul. The marina owner, an American, also runs a restaurant there and he and his Columbian wife speak english," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Bahia de Caracruz, Ecuador.
"Use your skills to get some form of employment. Consult, teach, help with a multitude of civic type organizations. Immerse yourself into the life," commented one expat who made the move to Ibarra, Ecuador.
