Hello All!

Hello Glocals Folks,


I am currently in the process of moving from Washington, D.C. to Geneva. I should be there in the next month or so.


I am excited to move to Geneva and meet new friendly faces from around the world. I came across this website desperately looking for a place to live. Any suggestions on that front would be greatly appreciated.


A little bit about me: I am half German and half Greek, raised in Athens, Greece up til high school, moved to the States for college and work. Been working in D.C for the past five years. I speak Greek, German, and English. Need to get started with French as well, as I feel I would benefit greatly from it, especially living in Geneva.


You all seem like a great bunch; helpful and open. Looking forward to meeting all of you once I arrive in the great land of fine chocolate ;)

Hey Alexandra,


Welcome! I hope you find Geneva to be a lot of fun, and make some great friends when you get here.


As far as housing goes, it can be tough to find something, I find that my friends end up getting a sublet for a month or so while they look for a permanent place. The Glocals classifieds are a great place to look for something temporary. French will be necessary if you're not working with a large corporation or international organization, but if you need someone to help you find an apartment, I know an English-speaking real estate agent who is really good and helpful.


Best of luck!

Hello The Money,


Thanks for the welcome and suggestions. Greatly appreciate it. Thanks for offering your real estate agent, I am sure that will prove very helpful. I am not sure when exactly I will be moving to Geneva. Once I have an exact date, I will try to reach out to you for the name of your real estate agent so I can get there and hit the ground running.


Thanks again and hope to meet you when I get to Geneva!

No problem at all, just send me a message when you end up coming and I'll be happy to help. After having been through nine months of apartment searching before I found my place, I feel like a pro!
