Hello..new to Geneva

Hello everyone, a brief intro...I/we have just moved to Geneva a few weeks ago from Adelaide, South Australia. I am quite familiar with Geneva and Switzerland having travelled around here, visited family a number of times (my husband is Genevoise) and previously interned at the WHO early 09. I have recently worked at a university in teaching/research, but the first stage here in Geneva is an intensive French course (ifage). I enjoy writing, cinema, reading, art & the mountains! Looking foward to catching up at some of the glocals activities. Samantha

Thanks for letting me know. I vaguely remember trying to call myself by my real name but there were lots of other Sam's on here. I have been called this by Aussie friends...I have tried to change it though, without success, will try again...

Welcome Sambo. I have relatives in Westlakes and have visited Adelaide several times. I like it very much and could see myself eventually retiring there (I particularly like the proximity to The Barossa, Maclaren Vale and Clare Valley!!).


Keep your eyes peeled on here - there are loads of things to do, although it sounds like you have a head start on most of us, having a Genevois husband.


Anytime you want to have a chat about cricket let me know Wink

@ David R Thanks for the welcome!


@ Celeste T..yes, Adelaide is possibly quieter than Geneva! Although there is always the fantastic festival of arts and music festivals in Feb/March (then the place goes to sleep for another year...). Last time I stayed in Geneva for a couple of months there seemed to be a lot of night time events at various pubs, but then I was with interns about 10 years younger than me...


@David Lloyd. Thanks David...I know the winery regions very, very well indeed! I grew up near the McLaren Vale and particularly know that area.  As for the cricket, I haven't been following it lately but couldn't help but knowing Aust didn't do very well..just saw some sad replays of the ashes at the Lady Godiva.
