We are a mid 30's professional (one working) couple -

Where do I go to meet Ex-pats? Is there a network thats meets regularly or a group of you?
I have come over with my boyfriend who is working here. I need to find my feet and settle in and didnt realise Spanish would be so heavily needed...eeeek !

Any tips, advice, .... many thanks.

Hi!

Do you have kids?聽 I have found a facebook group called English Speaking Moms in Santiago to be VERY helpful.聽 Also do you knit or crochet?聽 There is another group of women who get together on Mondays at different spots (like Starbucks) to hang out and knit.聽 Also you can message me and I would be happy to meet you for coffee or something one day?

Hi
Have a look on FB for a group called Santiago Ladies Lunch. English speaking ladies get together once a month on a sunday for lunch at different places.
There is also another website called Internations, join the chile group and they often met up.
Good luck and maybe see you at the next ladies lunch.
