Hi everyone, I'm been living in Cali off/on for the last聽 few years.... I would love to meet some English speaking peeps!!!! I live on the south side of Cali close to Jardin Plaza. Love to meet other couples and singles to socialize, and maybe network.... I thought I would blend into the way of life here, but there times I just miss the "other world", ways of life.... Hope to hear from you all....

Hey my name is Jerry. I saw your profile and it seems like are situations are pretty similar. I am from the California USA but I have been living in Cali, Colombia off and on for the last 21/2 years. I have traveled and lived in Mexico, Costa Rica and Panama during this same time frame. I don't work so I have a lot of free time. I am currently living in the south near Jardin Plaza and El Molino Gymnasio. I speak English and pretty good Spanish. I would like to find someone to hang out with on occasions and speak some English (I am sure you know what I mean!!). I hope that we can hook up.

Hey Jerry,

How are you? I think we must be neighbors...

I live just down the street from El Molino Gymnasio (and I work out there too). I live in the apartment building right across the street from Super Alejo supermarket.

Of course I speak English and "ok" Spanish... would be great to meet you. You can reach me via e-mail ***

Talk soon, George

If anyone in this thread is still in Cali and wants to join our tiny, just starting, group of expats for offline meetings, send a friend request and I'll fill you in on the details.
