How do I meet people in Salento?
When we asked people living in Salento about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...
"Expats in Salento often join local language exchange clubs, where they can practice their Spanish and meet locals and other expats. They also participate in outdoor activities such as hiking, bird watching, and horseback riding, which are popular in the region. Many expats get involved in volunteering opportunities, such as teaching English or helping with community development projects, which can be a great way to meet people and give back to the community. In addition to clubs and activities, expats often meet people through social events and gatherings. These can range from local festivals and cultural events to informal get-togethers at local cafes or restaurants. Many expats also meet people through their accommodation, as many choose to live in shared housing or hostels where they can meet other travelers and expats. Another popular way for expats to meet people in Salento is through salsa dancing. Salsa is a big part of Colombian culture and many cities, including Salento, have salsa clubs where locals and expats alike come to dance and socialize. Finally, online platforms and social media groups are also commonly used by expats to connect with each other and with locals. These platforms often have information about upcoming events, activities, and meetups, making them a valuable resource for those looking to expand their social network in Salento," wrote a member who made the move to Salento, Colombia.
