US Expat in Cali

Hey my name is Jerry. I saw your profile and it seems like are situations are pretty similar. I am from the California USA but I have been living in Cali, Colombia off and on for the last 21/2 years. I have traveled and lived in Mexico, Costa Rica and Panama during this same time frame. I don't work so I have a lot of free time. I am currently living in the south near Jardin Plaza and El Molino Gymnasio. I speak English and pretty good Spanish. I would like to find someone to hang out with on occasions and speak some English (I am sure you know what I mean!!). I hope that we can hook up.

Hey Jerry,

How are you? I think we must be neighbors...

I live just down the street from El Molino Gymnasio (and I work out there too). I live in the apartment building right across the street from Super Alejo supermarket.

Of course I speak English and "ok" Spanish... would be great to meet you. You can reach me via e-mail ***

Talk soon, George

yes neighbors. I live in Rio apartamentos directly across the street from El Molino and work out there too.
my # *** and I have WhatsApp also.

Hey Jerry,

I like El Rio... been  there a couple of times recently... looking at apartments to rent... there seems to be a few extranjeros living there....

don't have whatsapp at the moment... just  the cell... perhaps a coffee tomorrow?

George

Or I could even meet you @ the Panaderia on the corner across from Super Alejo at about the same time (12:30 - 1PM) if that is easier for you. Let me know.
