How do I meet people in Isla Taboga?

When we asked people living in Isla Taboga about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded:

"Isla Taboga, is a small island with a tight-knit community, and expats often find themselves joining local clubs and participating in community activities to meet people and integrate into the local culture. One popular activity is joining local fishing clubs, where expats can engage with locals and other expats while enjoying the island's rich marine life. Expats also participate in local festivals and events, such as the annual Patron Saint Festival, which is a great way to meet people and experience the local culture. The island's community center often hosts events and activities that are open to everyone, providing another opportunity for expats to socialize and meet new people. Outdoor activities are also popular on the island, with many expats joining local hiking groups or participating in beach clean-ups. These activities not only provide a chance to meet people but also to contribute to the preservation of the island's natural beauty. In addition to joining clubs and participating in community activities, expats often meet people through their daily routines. Simple activities like shopping at the local market, dining at local restaurants, or attending church services can lead to conversations and friendships with both locals and other expats. Finally, volunteering is another way that expats meet people when living in Isla Taboga. Many local organizations and charities welcome the help of expats, and volunteering can be a rewarding way to give back to the community while making new friends," said one expat who made the move to Isla Taboga.
