Canadians living in Bogota

Greetings,

I am new to Bogotá. I just arrived here last night and will be staying for one year. I was wondering if anyone knows of any sort of social clubs for foreigners. I know the Canadian embassy website has a women's club, but I was hoping to be able to meet some other Canadians or other foreigners.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Colleen

Cool.. Bogota is a great city. While I have no idea about expat groups, I'll be down for almost a month in November if you want to meet up for a coffee! You might also want to try hooking up with Aiesec, they seem to be fairly active in Colombia and are a pretty international crew (mostly 20-30 yos).

I remember of two Canadians one living in La Macarena and the other one was moving to Duitama.

How could she possibly be annoyed by such a classy move?

You might consider leaving a private message instead of a public phone number, but your call. ;)
