I'm planning to spend several months living in San Miguel starting this March, 2016. Single gay man so concerned that there may not be social opportunities and other outlets available in large towns and cities. Anyone have advice or experience to share?

Hello Tad (and others). ... I would love to know how you are getting along in SMA? Do you like it? Should others join you there?
