Anyone in Fortaleza

Hi Kaltrinia,
Not too much expats in Forteleza. Generally all are in mixt couple and are there for years so there not anymore "expats". Actually there is not any company which could offer "expat contract" in Fortaleza (I am currious which company offered a job here. A NGO?) All expats here created their businesses. A lot of restaurants and pousadas owners. Not that much in Fortaleza actually but on the Ceara coast. Expats from Italy, Spain, France, Portugal (not much actually), Germans, Netherland  and Scandinavia. No much British. Certainly much more on the Ceara coast, doing their dream job: kitesurf teacher for a few hundreds reals a months.
"Tenho saudade da City e Balham"...I am londoner too, a little.
Welcome in Fortaleza

How is Fortaleza so far?

Go to Recife, it's beautiful as well!!

Hi,

Thank you for replying, yes I have realised that.. not much here. My company has a base here in Fortaleza. You lived in Balham, London?

Thank You

Kaltrina

Hi Katrina,

I'm from Rio and have a place in Fortaleza for 17 years already. In the meantime, I lived abroad for almost 6 years and since my return back in 2013 I was expecting to meet expats to keep the connection with foreign people, etc. Even if so happens, I have no idea where larger groups of expats eventually meet (events like lunch, dinner, beer, etc). Seems like this blog is quite helpful on daily issues (see also...), but we had no time or focus to develop a solid community. I also checked the MeetUp website and the only available group is called 'Poliglotas' who meet every couple of weeks. It's a language-learning oriented group, but I could not identify any expat among them (but mostly brazilians like me). Anyway, if you feel bored by hanging around only with with people from work, let us know here. Who knows what may happen if we setup something?

Welcome to Fortaleza!! The city is adorable and I hope you're having a good time!
