How do I meet people in Olon?
When we asked people living in Olon about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...
"You'll meet a lot of fellow expats at the favorite restaurants in Olon around dinner... Try Roadhouse, Spondylus, Rasimar, Il Pirata, and MoMos. On Saturday afternoons a group meets at Jerry's Cabana on the beach. The pensianado/retirement expats in the area are an eclectic group and you'll find them enjoying the beach, volunteer opportunities in the community, as mentioned dining out, participating in and watching sports, games (poker is big), and generally enjoying life and their community," said another expat in Olon, Ecuador.
"Expats in Olon often join local clubs and activities to meet people and immerse themselves in the local culture. One popular option is the local surf club, where expats can learn to surf and meet other surfing enthusiasts. There are also yoga and meditation groups that attract a diverse crowd, including many expats. Language exchange groups are another popular choice, where expats can practice their Spanish with locals and help them with English in return. Cooking classes are also a great way to meet people and learn about Ecuadorian cuisine. In addition to joining clubs and activities, expats often meet people by volunteering in the community. There are numerous opportunities to volunteer in Olon, from helping out at local schools to participating in beach clean-up efforts. Expats also meet people by attending local events and festivals. Olon has a vibrant cultural scene, with regular music performances, art exhibitions, and food festivals. These events provide a great opportunity to meet both locals and other expats. Finally, simply spending time in local cafes, restaurants, and bars is another way that expats meet people in Olon. These places are often social hubs where people gather to chat, relax, and enjoy the local food and drink," wrote a member who made the move to Olon, Ecuador.
