These clubs often organize social events and outings, providing a great opportunity to make new friends. Sports clubs are also popular among expats, with soccer, salsa dancing, and yoga being particularly popular. Joining a sports club not only helps expats stay active, but also allows them to connect with locals who share similar interests.

These activities provide a great opportunity to learn about Colombian culture and meet locals. Expats also often volunteer in local community projects, which is a great way to give back to the community and meet like-minded individuals. There are numerous volunteer opportunities available in Barranquilla, ranging from teaching English to helping out at local charities. In addition to joining clubs and activities, expats often meet people through their work or school. Many expats work as English teachers or in the tourism industry, which provides plenty of opportunities to meet locals and other expats. Similarly, those who are studying in Barranquilla will likely meet people through their classes and campus events. Finally, many expats meet people simply by exploring the city and striking up conversations with locals. Colombians are known for their friendliness and hospitality, so don't be shy about introducing yourself to your neighbors or the people you meet in cafes and markets," wrote a member who made the move to Barranquilla, Colombia.
