howdy kieran. welcome to glocals and to the area! you're gonna have a great time here! and glocals can help you find people with similar interests and time.
Be sure to check out the Fête de Genève going on this week, with fireworks next Saturday.
Also, check out the Things to Do list, to find cyclists, cinema goers and rock climbers. If you don't find any activities that you can/want to participate in, then post one yourself and find others to join you.
There are also groups (although the implementation of groups is not so clear) that you can join covering all sorts of topics.
If you like movies, then I invite you to join some of my CineTransat activties that I've posted. We have a nice group of people every movie, it's free, it's outside on the lake and a wonderful way to spend an evening. There are two more today and tomorrow, and then next Thursday through Sunday. Then that's it until next year.
Again, welcome and hope to see you soon.
