ESPAÑOL Welcome Expats! I'm your webmaster for both GoSouthExpat.com! and BoliviaBella.com. Lately I've been hearing from more and more expatriates in Santa Cruz that they'd like to find a way to meet more foreigners who are living here.

It used to be easy to do to this when our expat community was large, but things have changed a lot in Santa Cruz in the last few years. In addition, expats tend to gather with other foreigners from their own country but there are few spaces where people from different countries get together.

Some expatriates have expressed an interest in meeting other families and doing activities with kids, others are interested in networking or are looking for possible job and business opportunities. Some foreigners are new arrivals and are just keen to meet anyone! Some don't enjoy hanging around foreigners all the time but think once a month might be fun.

So because BoliviaBella is your online expat community in Santa Cruz, we've been organizing some fun ways for us to take things offline and meet in person about once a month. We keep activities simple and inexpensive and plan for varying ages. Over 100 individuals and families have signed up already, from over 20 countries.

If you think you and/or your family might be interested, please add your name and contact information through the form below (nothing will show online, it will go straight to our email) so we can begin to form a contact list. If you have any questions or ideas regarding this, please include them in the space provided.
