What type of social life can someone expect in Quito?
When we asked expats and global nomads about their social experiences in Quito, they replied...
"Expatriates, retirees and digital nomads living in Quito typically have an active social life. There are many opportunities to meet people from all over the world, as well as locals, through language exchanges, meet-ups, and social events. Expats often join local clubs and organizations, such as the Quito Expat Network, which provides a platform for expats to connect and share experiences. Retirees and digital nomads often find themselves in the same social circles, as they often have similar interests and lifestyles. Additionally, there are plenty of bars, restaurants, and cafes in Quito, providing a great opportunity to socialize and make new friends," remarked another expat who made the move to Quito, Ecuador.
"It is best if you join an expat group. In my case, at 63 years of age I took a 3 month Spanish course, avoided English speakers, and joined a Rotary Club where I received a very warm welcome into the Spanish community," explained one expat living in Quito, Ecuador.
