Hi, I live in Popayan, about 2 hrs South of Cali. Would like
to meet other expats, for coffee & conversation...would really
like to trade reading material. My name is Richard, 51 yrs old,
from USA, I speak Spanish.

While I live in Medell矛n, I'm also looking to hang with other expats, of which there are very few here. I'll be moving to Manizales in April, a lil' bit closer to where you are. I usually bring back a ton of paperbacks when I head back to US/Canada. Anyhow, write me back if you feel like it!

Hi, It would be nice to meet you. You can contact me directly
at wiegandrichard@live.com

May I ask why you are moving to Manizales. I've only been here
in Popayan for a month. I'd like to explore other areas of
Colombia...eventually I'd like to move somewhere close to beach...do have any suggestions?聽 take care, Richard

bogota has plenty of english books, if you are in need, I can ship any book you need, as long as you provide the title and the author's name.

there is also amazon2colombia service somewhere

contact me in case you need them ( I don't sell books for a living, but I don't mind).

cheers.

I'm looking for English books (and magazines) too, but my closest big city is Bucaramanga. Anyone know any English bookshops in the area?
