Expats currently in Conakry - meet up

Hi all,

Just trying to get a feel to who's working, living and breathing in Conakry.  I just moved here a few days ago, with no real contacts, and would like a life outside of work, even with the crazy rains.  If anyone's up for a meet up, ping me and let's do it!

Thanks,

Hello Smirfette.

Welcome to Expat.com!

This is a good idea! Do not hesitate to organize an Expat.com meet up. :D

Can you please give us a brief introduction so as to know you better? :)

Thank you,
Auré

Hi Auré,

It seems like from looking through the Guinea forums in Expat.com, there's not that much activity.  What's your take?

Anyways, I'd love to organize a meet up if there are people out there who'd be interested!  I'm Sarah, from the US.  I just moved to Conakry 3 days ago to work for an international humanitarian agency, working on health projects.  I'm liking Conakry so far!  Auré, where are you in the world?

Hello,
It's a really good idea, we are trying to organized a big meeting with all expat-blog member who living in Conakry, also can participate expatriates and friends.
It's in French section, here the link
https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=168576.
and we already start but we have not yet fixed on a specific date and exact place. there are several proposals, I am the organizer and I have a Canadian friend who is giving me a help. but I still want more volunteers.
Maybe if we do it together, the meeting will still be very beautiful with more colors.
If you are interested, send your contact in [email protected] and you can receive your access card for member.
Best regards

Devi - I just texted you - maybe we'll meet up sometime!

Krist29 - Sounds like a great idea.  How's the planning going?  I'll send you an email with my contact information.

Thanks,

Hi everyboy, I am Thibault, 23, French, I was in London last year then I will be working in Conakry in advisory/finance in Conakry from October. I would be glad to meet people to have fun during free times, have drinks, going to island the Week end or nightclubs. See you soon,Thibault.

Fatima - hope your arrival finds you dry & well, feel free to msg me.

Thibaut - it's great you'll work here in Oct - you'll be escaping the worst part of the rainy season :)

Hey,

I've been in Conakry for about 2 weeks and would be happy to meet up with other expats in the area.

Hey guys,

it looks like there is a whole new bunch of people in town... I just landed on Monday & was quite surprised about the heavy showers that night... hope these were the last ones :)

For good sports club, I heard about the Sporting or the Riviera.
You can even take Salsa classes in the Centre Culturel Franco-Guinéen.
Please don't hesitate to share any of your plans & let's meet up anytime when you guys are free... I will be getting a sim soon, so lets' just share contacts through Personnal Messages how about that ? (Could you send me yours in the meantime ? - I'll text you mine once my phone works).

- And yes food is excellent here but when it comes to the service, don't get your expectations to high :)

Georges

Great idea !!!

This weekend would be a great time for a meet and greet.  I could offer my house as a meeting point but it may be a bit far for many people. nongo, near President Condre s private residence.  It is not far from the american Embassy in the new trendy futuristic area of Conakry. 

Any ideas ?

Hi everyone,

I'm on my way to Conakry Jan 13, leaving Dubai and off to a new opportunity.  Hope to meet new friends and socialise with other Ex-pats, this forum seems a great idea.
