Hello! I am new to Valencia and expat blog

I received an email instructing me to say hello and introduce myself.
For info you can see the profile I had to fill out. Tons of info there to get a feel for who I am.

What I can say here is that my arrival in Valencia has not gone without a hitch.
I have learned a lot about the Spanish culture and the people. Now, I long for and would delight in spending time with people whom I am familiar with culturally speaking or who know what leaving the homeland and settling into a whole new world is like.

I am not a party person, but I love nature and get together with positive caring individuals.

I speak French, English, Spanish and I do not care how old you are, what you look like, how much money you make. As long as you are kind, truthful, use your ability to smile, and know how to carry on conversations free of negativity, I will be happy to meet you.
And if you are an uplifting person, well... that is just a great PLUS! :)

oh oh. This sounds like a romantic add a little :)
So this may be a good place to say: I am not romantically available. Friendships only. :)

I look forward to knowing you!
Flavie :)

Hi Flavie,  I have been living in Valencia for all of 3 weeks and looking for friends to explore this wonderful city with.  Would love to do so with you, perhaps we could even form a little group with a few others!  I am an energetic early retired medical chemist/executive taking advanced spanish classes at the University, have an apartment in Ruzafa, love to tool around on Valenbisi (the wonderful public bikeshare system), as well as  the bus/tram/metro system, and just came up from living 4 years in Buenos Aires.

Welcome to Valencia y saludos cordiales!
Jim

P/D  Anyone else out there want to share the fun?  This place is really pretty amazing (where has it been all my life?-jajaa) and I love to learn new things about it.

Hi Jim,
I sent reply in email.
See you soon!

Flavie

Hi Flavie444, I was touched by your word "Now, I long for and would delight in spending time with people whom I am familiar with culturally speaking or who know what leaving the homeland and settling into a whole new world is like. " I am also at the same age of you. Newly moved to Valencia, a week ago and love this city badly. I like to walking and running like local people in the river. I come from China, and wish to make new friends to share different life experience and insights of life.

Hi Flavie,

My name is Maria, and mt family and I relocated to Valencia last year. Its the best thing we have ever done! Glad that you are enjoying Valencia. Its a beautiful place. I live about 30 mins from the city.

Hi!

I liked your first message in this post!

Although I know Valencia pretty well, this is not my home and I am also looking for new friends who have positive thoughts and would like to do any sort of activities now and than.

Write me if you want to meet up, I think it could be fun!

Hello everybody!

Please forgive the ridiculously late response!
I have had the hardest time logging in and therefore could not communicate or respond.
I would have enjoyed meeting each and everyone of you. :)
However Unexpected events had me move to another country at the end of 2013.
I hope you all found great people to spend time with :)
Much love!
Flavie
