How do I meet people in Loja?
When we asked people living in Loja about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...
"Loja, is a vibrant city with a rich cultural heritage and a welcoming community. Expats living in Loja often join various clubs and participate in activities to meet new people and immerse themselves in the local culture. One popular option is the language exchange clubs, where expats can learn Spanish and locals can practice English. This not only helps in improving language skills but also fosters friendships and cultural exchange. Expats also join local sports clubs, such as soccer, tennis, or hiking groups. These clubs provide a great opportunity to stay active and meet locals and other expats with similar interests. Music and dance clubs are also popular among expats. Loja has a vibrant music scene, and joining a salsa or merengue dance class can be a fun way to socialize and learn about the local culture. Art and cooking classes are other activities that expats often participate in. These classes provide a platform to learn about Ecuadorian art and cuisine while meeting new people. In addition to joining clubs and participating in activities, expats often meet people through volunteering. Many local organizations and charities welcome the help of expats, and this can be a rewarding way to give back to the community and make new friends. Expats also meet people through social events and festivals. Loja hosts several cultural festivals throughout the year, and these events are a great way to meet locals and other expats. Finally, many expats find that simply being open to meeting new people in everyday situations, such as at the local market or in the park, can lead to meaningful connections and friendships," wrote a member who made the move to Loja, Ecuador.
